GREEK · NEWLY REFURBISHED · MARINA FRONT
Red Pepper
★★★★½ 4.5 · 293 reviews
Red Pepper is the only Greek restaurant in Puerto Banús. Located on the Marina side, and recently reopened with a refurbished interior, new management and an updated menu.
The charcoal grill remains at the centre of the cooking, with grilled lamb, fresh seafood and Greek mezze among the main reasons to visit. The menu works particularly well for sharing, making it a good choice for groups or a relaxed dinner beside the marina.
Regular customers will still recognise the restaurant, but the refurbishment and new menu have given it a noticeably different feel.

PAN-ASIAN · SUSHI · JAPANESE · CHINESE
Chow Asian Kitchen
★★★★☆ 4.3 · 774 reviews
Chow Asian Kitchen sits directly beside the harbour on Calle Muelle Ribera. It is one of the most popular Asian restaurants in Puerto Banús, with a broad menu covering sushi, wok dishes, Thai curries and pan-Asian plates for sharing.
The frontline terrace is one of its main strengths, especially in the evening when the marina becomes busier. The atmosphere is informal enough for lunch but still lively enough for dinner with friends.
With such a varied menu, it is also a useful option when everyone at the table wants something different.

Leone Brasserie
★★★★½ 4.4 · 678 reviews
Leone Brasserie is one of the smarter all-day restaurants on Calle Ribera. The dining room has been carefully designed, giving it a more polished feel than many of the larger restaurants along the marina.
The menu combines French brasserie cooking with Mediterranean influences. Dishes include salmon tartare, chicken Milanese and duck and melon salad, alongside breakfast, brunch and cocktails.
It is open from morning until late, so it works equally well for coffee, lunch, dinner or drinks. The Sunday bottomless brunch is particularly popular.

Pizzeria Picasso has been part of Puerto Banús for decades and remains one of the port’s best-known restaurants. It sits directly on the marina and is usually busy from lunch until late at night.
The restaurant is known for large pizzas, pasta dishes and prices that are relatively reasonable for such a central location. The atmosphere is lively rather than formal, and the waterfront terrace is a major part of its appeal.

SPANISH TAPAS · TRADITIONAL · GOOD VALUE
Taberna CasaBlanca
★★★★½ 4.4 · 2,706 reviews
Taberna CasaBlanca offers a much more informal experience than the polished restaurants lining the marina. Located on Avenida Julio Iglesias, it is busy, quick and usually full of people ordering tapas to share.
The menu includes croquettes, ibérico ham, seafood, cod in tomato sauce and other Spanish favourites. Prices are lower than at many waterfront restaurants, and the atmosphere is lively without feeling overly tourist-focused.
It is one of the better options in the area for a casual tapas lunch or an uncomplicated evening meal.

ARGENTINIAN ASADOR · WAGYU · EVENING ONLY
Tango Restaurante
★★★★½ 4.4 · 561 reviews
Tango is an Argentinian steakhouse on Avenida Julio Iglesias, open for dinner from 6:30.
The focus is firmly on the meat. Staff show diners the available cuts before they order and explain the differences, which gives the meal a more personal feel. The menu includes Wagyu ribeye, entrecôte, blood sausage and traditional sides such as creamed spinach.
This is a restaurant for anyone looking for a proper steak dinner rather than a quick or casual meal.
