Where to eat in Puerto Banús: cheap, with kids and a view

Asking where to eat in Puerto Banús usually means asking three things at once: whether there are cheap tables despite the marina’s luxury reputation, whether you can go with kids, and whether it is worth sitting down with a view of the yachts. This guide gathers real options, with sources and, where a restaurant publishes its menu, checked prices, so you can choose on information rather than rumour.

Cheap restaurants in Puerto Banús

It is only fair to be clear: Puerto Banús is not a cheap set-menu destination. The Andalucía.com guide says so plainly: do not expect low prices, although you will find good cooking, from fine dining to more informal places. Even so, on the quay itself there are restaurants that same guide describes as reasonably priced or good value.

The best-documented example is Pizzería Picasso (Muelle Ribera, 48/49). Andalucía.com calls it reasonably priced, and ABC GURMÉ, in its July 2025 guide, presents it as a family classic: unpretentious, with a quick turnover and brisk service. The official menu (checked on 13 November 2026) puts a Margherita at €13.95, several pizzas between €16.95 and €19.95, and the Meatlover’s at €21.95. Pasta dishes are generally €17.95 to €19.95 (Spaghetti Picasso is €23.95). The children’s menu — pizzas, pasta, a burger or crispy chicken — is €10.50. Prices can change, so it is worth checking the menu on the day.

In the same “reasonably priced” bracket, Andalucía.com lists El Gaucho de Banús, an Argentine grill on the front line (Muelle de Honor, 9, according to the port’s official listing), and León de Oro, a Chinese and oriental restaurant on Muelle de la Ribera, units 14-15, which it describes as good value for money. We do not publish third-party prices here, because we have not been able to check an official menu. A tip that crops up in local guides, including Live Love Marbella, is to step one street back from the quay if you are looking for more value: some of the longest-running houses sit just off the front line.

Where to eat in Puerto Banús with kids

If you are looking for Puerto Banús restaurants with kids in mind, the sources point to Pizzería Picasso. The port’s official listing presents it as a family-friendly classic with a terrace facing the marina; ABC highlights its children’s options and lively atmosphere; and Live Love Marbella names it expressly as the family choice on the quay.

In practice that means a wide menu (pizza, pasta, burgers, meat and fish) and a children’s menu at €10.50, with Margherita, Vesuvio, spaghetti bolognese, penne napoletana, mac and cheese, a burger or crispy chicken, plus ice-cream sundaes at €3.20. There are also gluten-free macaroni if you need them. There is no need to book: tables are first come, first served, which helps if you are travelling with children and do not want to be tied to a time. In late November and December the marina is usually quieter than in summer, so a table is easier to find.

Puerto Banús restaurants with a view

For a meal with a view, the obvious place is the front line of Muelle Ribera and Muelle de Honor: the terraces look out over the yachts and the bustle of the port. Pizzería Picasso’s official listing mentions a terrace overlooking the marina. The listing for El Gaucho de Banús describes an open terrace and a panoramic view of the port. Leone Brasserie (Muelle de Ribera, 44) is presented, also in the official directory, as a restaurant with the best front-line views and a retractable roof.

If you would rather have sand and a sea horizon than the harbour, ABC places the beach restaurant Aurora Beach at the entrance to Puerto Banús, on Playa de Levante, with Mediterranean cooking, rice dishes and grilled fish. Third-party opening hours can change with the season, so it is worth confirming on the day. If you want to pair lunch or dinner with a stroll, here is a one-day route around Puerto Banús and our guide to things to do in Marbella in December. And if, after a few terraces, you fancy going back to local cooking, see our guide to typical dishes of Marbella.

Pizzería Picasso, on Muelle Ribera

According to its official website, Pizzería Picasso has been in Puerto Banús since 1982, at Muelle Ribera, units 48/49 (Nueva Andalucía, Marbella). The usual hours published by the restaurant are 12:00 to 00:00 every day, apart from the temporary closure noted below. It brings together the three searches in this guide in a single restaurant: it is among the more affordable options on the quay, it is set up for families, and it has a terrace facing the yachts. If what you want is specifically a pizza, this other guide covers where to eat pizza in Puerto Banús.

One important note if you are reading this in November 2026: Pizzería Picasso is closed from 9 to 27 November inclusive for maintenance work. It reopens on Saturday 28 November. From that date you can come to eat in the marina, including in December. If you are coming from the airport, this guide explains how to get from Málaga airport to Puerto Banús.
