"Chez Paul has been a perennial favorite on Maui for years, and it certainly has an asset in Patrick Callarec as the chef-owner. Look for chilled fennel-and-potato soup, homemade duck pâté, beluga caviar, escargot, Kona lobster with fresh foie gras and tournedos of beef in three-peppercorn sauce. This is a fine French restaurant by any standard, but Maui casual."

Honolulu Magazine

"Since 1975 this tiny roadside restaurant between Lahaina and Ma'alaea in Olowalu has been serving excellent French cuisine to a packed house of repeat customers. Such dishes as fresh local fish poached in white wine with shallots, cream, and capers typify the classical menu. The restaurant's nondescript exterior belies the fine art, linen-draped tables, and wine cellar. Don't blink or you'll miss this small group of buildings huddled in the middle of nowhere."

Fodor's, 2005

"In Olowalu, chef Patrick Callarec brings his native France to a village the size of a postage stamp at Chez Paul, so authentic you'll feel as though you're in France."

"Chez Paul is located in the heart of Olowalu Village (a blip on the highway -- if you blink you'll miss it), next to the Olowalu Store. But it's worth the drive to this classic French restaurant, now that Chef Patrick Callarec (formerly of the Ritz-Carlton's Anuenue Room) has taken over the cooking. Look forward to such delights as wild mushroom and goat cheese pastry in an aged Port wine sauce, just to get started. Or choose their signature dish of crispy duck with local fruits or fresh island fish in a champagne and cream sauce. Don't leave without the pineapple and vanilla crème brûlée, served in a pineapple shell. The dress here is Maui casual, which means you can wear anything short of tank tops, shorts, and slippers."
