FIVE PALMS - WAILEA, MAUI

FIVE PALMS

WAILEA, MAUI

I have been eating and drinking at the Five Palms for around 15 years.  Me and my Maui friends call it the "secret spot" because it is tucked away in a quiet lagoon overlooking the ocean.  You would never find this place if you did not know where it was.  The atmosphere and view are second to none.  The food is good but has been getting pricey over the years.  I have enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner at the Five Palms.  Most recently we caught a quick breakfast here to start our day.  The Five Palms is definitely on Maui time.  Breakfast is not served until 8:00 am.  My friend ordered the 5 Palms Big Breakfast ($14).  This includes two pancakes, 2 eggs and your choice of ham, portuguese sausage or bacon served with steamed rice or roasted breakfast potatoes.  I opted for the traditional Eggs Benedict.  Lightly poached eggs over english muffin with Canadian Bacon and Dill Hollandaise Sauce.  The dish was perfect and served with roasted potatoes with onion ($13).  I have enjoyed burgers, fresh fish and salads here too.  All very good if you can handle the prices.  We often visit the "secret spot" for a cold beverage at the end of a days work.  This is a must visit when you are on Maui.
