Bananas Restaurant

Very nice place. However, you need to ask about options on the food prep in order to get the best dish.

I've always admired the atmosphere and feel of this restaurant. I most recently took my mom to dinner and we had an amazing time. We were lucky enough to go on a night they had live entertainment. The service was amazing. Our waitress Ophelia was extremely helpful with her recommendations of items we should get. I can't wait to return!

This was definitely the highlight of our dining experience in St. Kitts & Nevis. We came here on a Thursday night without a reservation, but the friendly host immediately accommodated us. The server was attentive and efficient, but I did wish they would offer tap water. We shared many appetizers and would recommend the lobster summer roll and the goat water. We ended the meal with a coconut cake that wasn’t overly sweet. The cocktails were spot on! The restaurant itself was beautiful, with all the lights surrounding the garden. Bring a bug spray with you.

We dined here on Valentines Day...not on purpose, but because that is when we were in Nevis. I emailed Gillian to get a reservation about a month before. This was, by far, the best meal we had while visiting St. Kitts and Nevis. It is a bit difficult to forge the roads to get there, especially in the pitch dark. Thank goodness for WAZE. Once we arrived, it was like paradise in the trees. Lovely lighting, vibrant colors, great welcome, fabulous music, and fantastic service. And the food and cocktails were the best we had our entire vacation! We ordered a Rum Old Fashioned and a Spicy Passion Margarita. Both were yummy. For our starter we had watermelon and fried shrimp salad. OMG, fantastic and so fresh. The shrimp was so lightly fried, and the combination of the ingredients was spot on for a dish you would think of in the Caribbean. For our mains we ordered the skirt steak, and the gnocchi. The skirt steak was cooked exactly the way we like, with a lovely chimichurri. My only complaint would be I wish there was more of the wonderful sauce! The gnocchi was perfectly balanced. All the flavors of the pumpkin, gorgonzola, and parmesan come through. I don’t like gorgonzola, and I liked this dish. It is VERY rich though. Our service was so friendly. It is also apparent that the staff respect the the owner and founder, Gillian, because to watch the interaction between them was a delight. The handmade check at the end was old school and very classy. Nice touch. Don't miss going to this gem while visiting Nevis.

Really great food, definitely more on the expensive side, compared to local restaurants, since it is a destination catered to tourists. The service was great and the staff were extremely friendly. The view is lovely and on occasion you can get a glimpse of the local wildlife, specifically monkeys and watch them play in the trees. Overall, I highly recommend it for a more lavish dinner!

Banana is an oasis in paradise. The courtyard and setting is so beautiful and lush that it is worth the visit. You can go for a meal or drinks. There's also a shop with lovely clothes and accessories. The food was good but expensive or tiny portion for the price. It's worth a visit or a treat if you're in Nevis

Really amazing experience at Bananas. The atmosphere is very homey, and they 100% achieved their mission of total hospitality. To start of the meal, we ordered a selection of appetizers. I recommend ordering both of the salads, as they differ from each other but compliment each other. The goat water was also a very good touch. I would have liked the appetizers to be more complex and match the level of depth that the rest of the meal does (which just means i think everything was amazing). The main comment about the appetizers is the ability of turning something seemingly simple to a depth and complex meal through levels of flavor and texture. Take the lamb shank, which I ordered. It may have been simple as it was served with mash potatoes and broccoli, but the variety of textures and flavors brought this dish to another level. The lobster spaghetti also followed a similar path. The flavors of the sauce and the variety of texture took this dish far. The dessert may have been the best part of the meal. All of the desserts showed out, and you cannot miss the chocolate molten cake. Overall a great experience, 9.25/10.

The best place to eat in Nevis! Honestly. If you’re here, you must go. Obsessed with the food and drinks. Made fresh. Excellent service. We had the best time here! Lobster pasta was unbelievable and had the best banana crème brûlée of my life. So good! Beautiful ambiance - like a tropical rain forest.
