When Nate and I went to Maui for our honeymoon we met up with a family friend who worked at the Ritz-Carlton for tips on where we should eat and how to best see Maui in the short time that we were there. The very first place he recommended was The Gazebo.
The Gazebo is literally just that – a gazebo. They have about 12 tables, the wait staff has all worked there for a LONG time, they work from 7-2 every day, and constantly have a line that’s about an hour wait. And is it worth it?
Let’s just say that the ONE THING we said we absolutely HAD to do when we were there 2 weeks ago was eat The Gazebo. No ifs, ands or buts about it!
It’s simple and relaxed. It’s located in the middle of some condos right on the ocean. We saw whales while we waited in line and begged the good Lord for a table by the windows. We all go coffee and water for starters, the perfect combo to start any day if you ask me.
Nate is a pancake fiend and absolutely adores their banana macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup. Just wait til you see them…you’ll fall in love too!
We ended up splitting said pancakes and a half order of friend rice with bacon, ham, and Portuguese sausage. Don’t judge it til you try it…this was possibly one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had!
See? Told you you’d love ’em!
I would definitely say that when you go to Maui you have to make this stop. Even if it means holding off on breakfast till noon, The Gazebo is definitely an experience you don’t want to miss!
Just found your blog via Oh She Glows. The Gazebo may be the best breakfast spot in the world. We go every year and every year we wait at least an hour to get a table. Those banana macademia nut pancakes are worth every second though. But when you are sitting in paradise, watching the whales, it is hard to complain about the wait…
That looks so amazing! Your photographs are beautiful. I have always wanted to eat here when we’ve been in Maui, but we never seem to find the time. Now I know I have to go!
That place looks so awesome!! I want to go there!
We may be going to Maui in January for our anniversary. Remind me to email you and ask you the name of this restaurant again. 🙂
you bet…it’s seriously the best place EVER!
I would have no problem waiting an hour for those pancakes. The eggs sound good too!
Oh my! That breakfast dish makes me even more jealous of your trip to Maui, if that’s possible. 🙂
Heather I am FREAKING OUT right now!! The Gazebo owners are family friends, my Mom used to work there, and I eat there multiple times a week!! I am SO GLAD you were able to visit my island home, Maui AND experience the Gazebo. Great post! I can’t wait to tell everyone:)
Also, I used to work at the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua. Maybe I know your friend!!
wow that’s incredible! i would probably dream of working there if i ever had the chance to live on Maui 🙂
Come back to visit soon! =)
Oh my gosh that whipped cream looks like heaven. I want to go to Maui ASAP!
