To find the China Boat from Honoapillani Highway take the road at West Maui Airport all the way to the shoreline and then turn right. You will find the restaurant on the mountainside a little ways down.
When it comes to French restaurants, there are two on the list, Chez Paul and Gerard’s. Chez Paul is off the beaten path but everyone loves the food so much that you better be sure to make a reservation. Be prepared to pay more for the food as well.
