North Shore Dining
If you’re lucky enough to have reservations to the North Shore’s coveted gem, Mama’s Fish House, you’ll love the fresh seafood and the iconic Island-style dining experience. The fish is so fresh that the menu changes daily and it’ll even tell you the name of the fisherman who reeled in your fresh catch. Situated on the ocean, in a grove of coconut trees, you’ll feel transported to Old Hawaii with servers adorned in their best muumuus and aloha print shirts.
The Hawaiian Kanpachi with Lobster and Crab in a Macadamia nut crust is heavenly. For an Instagram-worthy dessert experience, ask for the Polynesian Black Pearl. Make sure to secure reservations well in advance, as they tend to book out for months!
Looking for something more laid back? Head over to Paia town and grab a Mopsy’s Kalua Pork Pie and a locally-sourced organic Ohana Salad Bowl at Flatbread Company or people-watch with a Coco-Rita and some Tex-Mex Plates at Milagros. Cafe des Amis makes outstanding curries and the most divine sweet crepes.
Should you find yourself in Haiku, head over to the old Pineapple Cannery and check out Nuka for fresh and delicious sushi or a local grass fed-beef burger at Toohey’s Butchery & Bistro.
