KAPALUA RESTAURANT WEEK debuts
Kapalua Resort is pleased to announce the debut of its first annual Kapalua Restaurant Week dining promotion to raise money for the community and drive business to the various outlets.
Enticing from Monday to Oct. 23, the participating restaurants will offer a two-course, prix-fixe menu for lunch and/or a three-course menu for dinner daily, exclusively for Kapalua Restaurant Week.
Participants offering specially crafted menus will be charging $29 for lunch and $39 or $49 for dinner of which $1 will go to support the Aloha Backpack Buddies program for every restaurant week prix fixe menu sold during this time frame.
Additionally, Kapalua Restaurant Week restaurants are partnering with Maui Organic Ocean Vodka as well as Deep Island Hawaiian Rum to offer craft cocktails made with these locally made spirits.
Under the umbrella of Maui Food Bank, Aloha Backpack Buddies provides Maui elementary schoolchildren, who are on the free or reduced meal program at their school, with a pre-filled backpack every Friday that contains six meals to take home for the weekend.
“Our restaurants at Montage Kapalua Bay, Cane & Canoe and Hana Hou bar, are thrilled to partner with the restaurants of our resort community,” explains Executive Chef David Viviano. “Ive handpicked my favorite dishes to highlight the menus. We are also excited to support a local charity through this initiative.”
At Cane & Canoe, first-course dinner options are goat cheese tempura with roasted beets, lilikoi, arugula and orange; coconut-lobster soup with red curry and cilantro pesto; or Kauai shrimp and grits.
Second-course options are taro linguine with housemade ricotta, preserved Meyer lemon, heirloom tomato and crispy kale; sesame-seared mahimahi with charred Maui pineapple and blistered shishito peppers; or half a Jidori chicken with coconut rice, golden raisins and cauliflower.
