Jacks Smokehouse
★★★★½ 4.4 · (2,636 reviews)
Jacks is the most reviewed grill restaurant in Puerto Banús and has the best marina setting Sitting right on the waterfront on Calle Muelle Salman, Jacks delivers the most complete BBQ and grill experience on the port. All American style, with portions of smoked meats, ribs, brisket, burgers and steaks to match the setting. It’s the port’s most versatile meat option, serving from 9.30am till midnight every day, equally good for a relaxed lunch, a group celebration dinner or a late-night post-bar meal. A lively place with a strong cocktail menu, it’s as much a destination as a restaurant.

ARGENTINIAN GRILL · PARRILLA · WATERFRONT
El Gaucho de Banús
★★★★½ 4.4 · (2,417 reviews)
The port’s own Argentinian grill and one of the most consistently praised meat restaurants on the whole marina El Gaucho is on Calle Muelle Benabola overlooking the harbour, and the kitchen does what a proper Argentine parrilla should; high quality cuts cooked exactly to order, with the kind of attention to meat that you don’t get in a restaurant that just happens to do steak. The fillet is consistently mentioned in reviews as being exceptional. It’s also halal-certified, making it one of the most inclusive quality steak options in the marina.
Hours · Daily 12:00 PM – Midnight Address · C. Muelle, Benabola 9 Phone · +34 685 45 96 97
MUST TRY — Filet · Ribeye · Prawn linguine · Harbour terrace

No. 3
★ HIDDEN GEM ARGENTINIAN ASADOR · EVENING DINING · WAGYU
Tango Restaurante
★★★★½ 4.4 · (561 reviews)
Tango is the port’s most serious Argentinian asador, an evening-only restaurant on Avenida Julio Iglesias that puts the quality of its meat front and centre. The kitchen will show you the cuts before you order, tell you what’s best, then cook it right. Wagyu ribeye on the menu, blood sausage is a real find, and cocktails strong enough to make it a full evening out. Not as well known as El Gaucho, but equally good for the meat – and much easier to get a table on less busy nights.
Hours · Mon & Wed–Sun 6:30–11:30 PM (closed Tue) Address · Av. de Julio Iglesias, s/n Phone · +34 686 65 36 72
MUST TRY — Wagyu ribeye · Entrecôte · Blood sausage · Creamed spinach
“Everything about this place was a delight! From the bread and butter to the delicious meat and sauces! Cocktails were great!” — Google reviewer

No. 4
GREEK GRILL · CHARCOAL · SEAFOOD & MEAT
Red Pepper
★★★★½ 4.5 · (293 reviews)
Red Pepper is the port’s most dependable grill – a Greek kitchen that serves charcoal-grilled meats and fresh seafood with equal confidence. Souvlaki, grilled lamb, mixed meat platters, fresh fish from the grill The menu is based on live fire and good ingredients, and the frontline terrace on Calle Ribera is one of the most relaxed spots on the marina strip for a long meat-focused dinner. The service provided by Renata is always mentioned as one of the warmest in the port. Red Pepper is the table for a grill that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but the food very seriously.
