Mala Tavern

Voted Best Restaurant on Maui 2023. Māla Ocean Tavern, honored as the Best Restaurant on Maui in 2023 by Maui Times, humbly celebrates the recognition. Since establishment in 2004, we take pride in offering exceptional oceanfront dining experiences for all diners. Renowned for our oceanfront Brunch, Happy Hour, and Dinner, Māla invites you to indulge in culinary delights such as Eggs Benedict, Avo Toast, Omelettes, or classic breakfast, paired with a mimosa or the perfect Bloody Mary during Brunch. Picture a seaside dinner under a Maui full moon enjoying freshly caught fish, vegetables from local gardens, and local beef, with a culinary cocktail or fine wine. All with the soothing sounds of waves—a magical setting for any occasion. Dine with honu (sea turtles) during the day, and in winter, marvel at whales from your seat. Despite facing the Lahaina Fires in August 2023, Māla is grateful for the support of ohanas, community, guests, and global well-wishers. We reopened on February 1, 2024, with heartfelt thanks for the strength drawn from your prayers. Māla Ocean Tavern, more than a restaurant, embodies the aloha spirit. Māla has been recognized for oceanfront dining, best service, and accolades for bar, wine selection, vibe, and ambiance. These awards inspire us to enhance your dining experience. From stunning ocean views to delectable dishes, it reflects our commitment to offering an unforgettable experience. Māla is a celebration of Maui's beauty, resilience, and warmth. Join us in our oceanfront haven.
