The Class Act at Maui Culinary Academy

As a world class destination resort, Maui offers some fantastic dining options. The quality of our restaurants is bolstered by the island's access to fresh produce and seafood. We also benefit by the diversity of cultures on the island that bring a variety of food preparations from throughout the Pacific and other parts of the globe. Maui restaurants and resorts do not have to go far to find the culinary talent that prepares our island's food. The Maui Culinary Academyat Maui Community College prepares students in one of the three specialties of culinary arts, baking and restaurant supervision. Students at the Culinary Academy have the opportunity to showcase their skills at The Class Act Restaurant and Exhibition Kitchen.

The Class Act is a real jewel of Maui. It offers a four course gourmet lunch at the very reasonable price of $28 plus gratuity. I have had the opportunity to eat there on two separate occasions and all courses of the meal were quite good. The preparation was excellent and the fresh Maui produce used in a number of the courses was quite tasty. Diners have an opportunity to watch the young chefs prepare the meals and the menu uses local produce extensively. Restaurant patrons can select from a few different daily entree options from a rotating menu. The Class Act is located in the Pa'ina building on the Maui Community College campus in Kahului. The hours are from 11:00-12:30 on selected weekdays. While the restaurant is a hidden gem, it has a loyal following. Interested parties should make reservations.
