There are two french restaurants in the port, one a full-blown brasserie open all day, with a terrace overlooking the marina; the other a lively harbour-side spot that is more relaxed about its Frenchness.

Leone Brasserie
★★★★½ 4.4 · (655 reviews)
Leone is more than a marina restaurant, it’s the port’s most comprehensive French dining experience, a Paris-meets-Riviera brasserie on Calle Ribera that brings authentic French brasserie energy to the marina without the stuffiness. The menu is a brave embrace of French-tinged Mediterranean fare (salmon tartare, duck and melon salad, chicken Milanese, churros) and the space is one of the most gorgeously designed on the whole strip. The all-day hours from 10 a.m. to midnight make it as good for a long brunch as for a proper dinner, and its cocktail and wine list is among the strongest on the port. The Sunday bottomless brunch has its own loyal following and is definitely worth planning a trip around.

Relais de Paris Banús
★★★★☆ 4.3 · (230 reviews)
Relais de Paris is right on the water at Conjunto Benabola with views across the marina and an atmosphere that naturally evolves from relaxed lunch into a lively evening venue as the night progresses. Open until 2am, making it one of the latest kitchens in the port. The French identity is clear in fresh fish and seafood done right and the happy hour mojitos have their own fan base among regulars. And the waterfront terrace sofas are the place to be.
