Argentinean roots restaurant. Our culture inspired us to create a warm and rustic space where food is the protagonist. Fire and wood, always at sight in our open wood-burning kitchen, impregnate with flavors exquisite cuts of meat, fish and vegan options. Together with a high quality mixology proposal, wine selection and outstanding service, we create a complete experience aimed at the most demanding customers, those who know how to enjoy the art of culinary delights and do not want to stop feeling at home.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Santiago Levy y Julian Kristal

From the OpenTable editors: Casa Banana, inspired by the Argentine barbecue, is a recommendation from the MICHELIN Guide for its exceptional gastronomic experience. Here, everything is cooked over wood fire in the open air, even the desserts. It offers a warm, rustic space immersed in nature, where fire and wood enhance each dish. Enjoy cuts of meat fresh off the grill accompanied by wood-fired beets with goat cheese, and slow-cooked lamb ravioli with porcini mushroom sauce and parmigiano-reggiano. Finish your meal with a grilled apple and coconut cream.

    Solid experience here. One of the better places we tried this week. The apps came out super quickly. Which was great since we were hungry. Pretty big energy place but that’s what you should expect on the hotel club zone area.

    Great food. We split the calamari salad, and had the spinach gnocchi, and lamb risotto. We also got 2 of the mandarin spritz’. I will say vibes and food were great, but the service was pretty slow and inattentive. We ended up getting the salad before we even got the drinks.

    Dining at Casa Bananas was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food and service were absolutely top-notch, making for an unforgettable evening. The smell of wood burning in the open kitchen transported us straight to Argentina, evoking the authentic flavors and ambiance of a traditional asado. Every dish was perfectly reminiscent of the rich, smoky, and vibrant culinary traditions of the region. The attention to detail in both the preparation and presentation was impeccable. The cocktails were creative and well-crafted, though I found them just slightly off-balance—but that’s likely just me being overly picky. They were still enjoyable and complemented the meal beautifully. Overall, Casa Bananas is a must-visit for anyone seeking an extraordinary dining experience. Highly recommend!

    Great Argentinian style food. Whole cooked fish dynamite. Walk to back of restaurant to check out wood fired grill on steroids…It’s sweet. A bit Smokey but I dig it. Cocktails OK - but they out-fancy themselves for price. Stick to wine. Grilled Octopus solid and huge serving…

    I do agree that its over-rated as per many comments below. There is no way this is Michelin even though they claim to be, service was okay and everyone was lovely - just a bit slow and all over the place. I sent my short rib back, it was dry, not succulent, and didn’t seem ‘12hr slow cooked’, the peppercorn sauce was just oily meat juices and had no flavour. On top of all this, it’s not that cheap and I expected much better.
