About this business

What used to be an old pineapple cannery is now Mala, the epitome of global organic fusion cuisine. It's not as complicated as it sounds.

Our first time here. We sat outside on the patio. It was a bit crowded but everyone was friendly and welcoming. We ordered our meal and chatted with the people sitting next to us. They were from British Columbia. I had the fish and it was so great. My husband had a steak and really enjoyed it. Would recommend only going with a reservation. It is small and always crowded. Quite a gem to find. Looking forward to trying the other two restaurants they own next door.

Such a cool place to eat. You are six feet from turtles feeding in the rocks and it feels like you are on a boat. Food is really good too!
