Bananas Restaurant

5 months ago

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.

Driving up the dark roads to Bananas, I wasn’t sure if Google Maps had lead me astray but then we turned and there were beautiful lights and a garden. The restaurant itself is also really special - a plantation feel with a veranda on the first level and a rooftop garden on top. The food was also delicious - I really enjoyed the jerk chicken and the drinks. Get the coconut cake, too.

Lovely place. Beautiful garden. Good food - appropriately priced. Rum punch was terrible. Do not order. Lacks juice. Only tastes rum with grenadine.

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.

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.
