Bananas Restaurant

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

Fantastic food! Staying at the Four Seasons and they charge $40 for the round-trip cab ride to come here but the food was delicious so it’s well worth it. Great for lunch and dinner.

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.

Friends treated us to lunch at Bananas which we were looking forward to given the reviews we had read. It was tricky to find with us driving ourselves - the occasional road signs helped but you need to be observant to spot them. The location was amazing high up the volcano in the rain forest and the restaurant itself has great atmosphere with a tropical vibe. Service was excellent but unfortunately the food was a disappointment. The humus was bland, and the goat water was the same with our friends commenting it was the worst they had tasted - they have lived on St Kitts for 15 years. The brioche for the lobster burger was very heavy - it should have been described as a normal bun. I hope we caught the chef on a bad day as this is not what we were expecting and will not be rushing back.

This was my second time here.. It's more phenomenal than it looks.. The owner and the staff or out of this world.. If you ever get a chance to go there. Just show the photos.

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!

Delicious food and beautiful ambience. Everything we ordered was amazing.

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.
