Kula Bistro is a family-owned restaurant on Lower Kula Road in Upcountry Maui, with an Italian influence and a menu that mixes home-style dishes with local favorites. It’s a useful stop on a Haleakalā or Aliʻi Kula Lavender Farm outing, whether you want breakfast, lunch or dinner. Order the Cajun mahi mahi sandwich, brisket eggs Benedict hash or three-meat fried rice; portions are generous. The dessert counter is another reason to pause, with cakes, pies and pastries, including lilikoi cheesecake.
A menu with Italian and Maui influences
Kula Bistro serves breakfast, lunch and dinner on Lower Kula Road. Its homestyle cooking draws on Italian-American food as well as local favorites, so the menu ranges from pasta and pizza to fish, sandwiches and breakfast plates. Panini on rustic focaccia are a lunch option, while the broader menu includes seafood, salads and familiar comfort food.
The Cajun mahi mahi sandwich is one dish to look for. Other standouts from the menu include brisket eggs Benedict hash and three-meat fried rice with eggs. For a substantial brunch, the loco moco and Mama J’s chicken and waffles are also mentioned as choices. The range makes the bistro an option for a meal at different points in the day, rather than only a post-volcano breakfast stop.
Desserts and the bakery counter
Leave space for something sweet if you can. The pastry counter carries cakes, pies, tarts, cheesecakes and other baked treats, and you can stop in for dessert to take away. Lilikoi cheesecake pairs a creamy filling with a tart passion-fruit topping. Coconut-cream pie is another dessert to consider, with portions described as large enough to share.
The restaurant’s generous servings are worth factoring into your order. If you want to try both a main dish and dessert, sharing a plate can leave room for the bakery case.
