Terrace tables at Leone facing the yachts in Puerto Banús marina

Where to Eat in Puerto Banús

A 2027 guide to the marina tables worth booking

By Live Love Marbella · Updated 18 October 2026

Eating in Puerto Banús is about more than the food. A table on the quay comes with superyachts, supercars and the best people-watching on the coast, and a few streets back are some of the port’s longest-running favourites.

This guide covers where to eat in Puerto Banús, sorted by the kind of meal you want: a frontline dinner facing the boats, an old favourite, or a long lunch on the sand. For dining in the historic centre, see our separate guide to the best restaurants in Marbella Old Town. To check availability and book, browse our Puerto Banús restaurants collection or all Marbella restaurants.

Booking

How to book the right table

Frontline terraces sell out first on summer weekends, so ask for an outside table when you book and say if you want to face the boats. For a group, a private chef at the villa can be a relaxed alternative for one night; see our private chef guide.

Insider tips

Tips for eating in Banús

  • Ask for the terrace. The view is the point on the quay.
  • Book from 21:00. The port is liveliest late in the evening.
  • Go back a street for value. Some of the longest-running places are just off the quay.
  • Lunch on the sand. Beach restaurants are best in daylight.
  • Skip the car. Parking is tight in summer; take a taxi or driver.
