There are a wide variety of restaurants in Puerto Banús, which offer everything from international cuisine to typical local dishes, with different ranges in terms of prices and quality.
Puerto Banús is one of the most important marinas in the world, it is the most exclusive marina in Europe with the highest daily mooring charge in the entire continent.
While some may be able to afford to moor their yachts, most of us must make do with a walk around the port area. Indeed, year after year, Puerto Banús is a real tourist attraction, with a whole host of activities to enjoy.
The things we can do include taking a stroll among the yachts and sports cars, taking photographs with them, browsing the luxury shops or enjoying a pleasant meal in these beautiful surroundings, in some of the best restaurants in Puerto Banús that we will mention here.

One of the area’s best-known restaurants thanks to its delicious Thai food, breaking away from the common food chains of this origin, which have a more limited offer. Naga Restaurant Puerto Banús focusses on traditional Thai food, such as stews and other specialities from the Asian country’s cuisine.

Italian restaurants in Puerto Banús
Don Leone Restaurant
If you fancy enjoying original Italian food in modern, open surroundings, right opposite the port’s inner harbour, Don Leone Restaurant Puerto Banús is a wonderful choice. It is a restaurant that breaks away from the classic and old style that Italian restaurants are usually characterised by. Its location means the price range is slightly higher, but its impressive street-level terrace is definitely worth it.
Picasso
Unlike the previous one, with a much more classic touch and the colours of the Italian flag decorating the entire establishment, Picasso Restaurant Puerto Banús is also located in the heart of the port’s promenade, next to the boats and the lane where you will be able to watch the luxury and high end cars drive past.
Just like its décor, the menu is very traditional, offering authentic Italian pizza and pasta, and a good selection of starters. However, its speciality are its crepes, and we highly recommend you give them a try.
Carpaccio Italian Restaurant
It is situated on the promenade in Puerto Banús, although it doesn’t have an outdoor terrace with views of the marina. Inside, the décor and design emphasise a luxurious ambience which is perfectly in keeping with its location.
In terms of food, you can quickly see that both the presentation and quality are beyond doubt, although the price range is also higher than other similar restaurants.
