“Hawaii is not a state of mind, but a state of grace.”
—Paul Theroux
The Gazebo Maui is a small, hidden out-of-the-way gem located poolside at Napili Shores condos about 20 minutes from the Marriott Ocean Club resort where we are staying.
It was introduced to us by our son-in-law Kyle some years ago. He and his family used to frequent the eatery daily while on vacation when he was a kid. He affectionately refers to it as one of his favorite places to eat—of all time. The view is picture postcard perfect as it sits right on the ocean adjacent to Napili Bay. They serve only breakfast and lunch. They also serve mammoth-sized portions that include banana pancakes, omelets, breakfast burritos, burgers, sandwiches and so much more. They are also known for there huge signature fried rice platter that includes chunks of meat and veggies.
The well-loved, open air diner with congenial staff and fast service for good value is decorated with tropical plants and abundant Hawaiian memorabilia that line the upper walls as seen in the photos. We continue the ritual of eating here on our annual family vacation.
