Puerto Banús has more to offer than its port reputation suggests when it comes to vegetarian and vegan dining. You won’t find dedicated plant-based restaurants on the marina strip — this is still very much a seafood and meat crowd — but a handful of kitchens take it seriously enough to be truly worth knowing about. Whether you’re all plant-based, flexitarian or just eating with someone who is, these are the five places in the port that won’t let you down.

Mumtaz
★★★★☆ 4.2 · (796 reviews)
Quietly delivering since 1980 right on Muelle Salman, Mumtaz is the port’s best bet for dedicated vegetarian dining with one of the most established reputations on the marina. India’s cuisine is naturally one of the richest traditions for plant-based cooking, with dal, chana masala, paneer dishes, vegetable curries – and Mumtaz covers the full range with a menu that gives vegetarians real choice, rather than an afterthought section. It has decades of heritage with a modern feel, updated in 2025. All clearly offering vegetarian, vegan and gluten free choices.

Red Pepper
★★★★½ 4.5 · (293 reviews)
Red Pepper is mainly a Greek and Mediterranean grill but the kitchen treats vegetarian dishes with as much attention as it does the meat and seafood menu. Greek food is pretty much plant friendly – mezze, grilled veg, halloumi, stuffed peppers, fresh salads – and Red Pepper does all of it right. It is one of the most praised restaurants on the port strip and vegetarians dining with a group of meat-eaters will not be an afterthought. In the reviews, Renata’s service has its own fan club.

La Crêperie
★★★★☆ 4.3 · (637 reviews)
One of the most popular spots on the entire marina strip and one that vegetarians and sweet-tooths have known for years. La Crêperie on Calle Ribera does one thing, and does it well: authentic French crêpes with every filling imaginable. For vegetarians it’s a real treat – fresh fruit, Nutella, Kinder, chocolate sauces, ice cream – all made to order. It’s evening from 4.30pm, no reservations and the queue is a regular occurrence.

Amore e Fantasia
★★★★☆ 4.3 · (1,036 reviews)
One of the most inclusive menus on the entire marina – Amore e Fantasia explicitly caters for vegan, vegetarian and halal diners and does so without the usual compromises in quality. Wood-fired pizzas have full plant-based versions, pasta dishes translate beautifully without meat and the frontline setting on Calle Muelle Salman with views straight across the yachts makes for one of the most atmospheric meals in the port. The place you want to sit is the outdoor terrace.

THAI · ASIAN · VEGETARIAN SPECIALIST
Naga Thai Restaurant
★★★★☆ 4.2 · (494 reviews)
Naga is one of the best Thai restaurants and Thai cuisine is one of the most naturally generous for vegetarian and vegan diners. The kitchen is equally generous to plant-based dishes, serving tofu dishes, vegetable curries, papaya salad, etc. Reviewers who come here specifically for the vegetarian menu keep coming back. Portions are generous, flavours are authentic and the duck curry (for the non-vegetarians at the table) has a devoted following. Located directly opposite El Corte Ingles in the Cristamar centre.
