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.

    We wanted a special dinner for Valentine’s Day, and Casa Banana didn’t disappoint. Excellent service, incredible food and chill atmosphere made for an unforgettable experience. Especially loved the open air kitchen showcasing their wood fired grill. Delicious.

    The food is among the best in Tulum. Unfortunately, they reduced their wine list to five red wines, which is inconsistent with the food offered. The manager in charge was stubborn that it was the right choice for them as they picked the most sold wines... Looking around, almost no bottles were sold... Caused by the poor offering!

    I liked the atmosphere and the service, but not spectacular. My waitress was warm and genuine. Service was rather slow. The filet mignon was the biggest I’ve seen. It was a big chunk of tenderloin. It was a perfect medium rare but was dry. Nice mashed potatoes with it. Nice flavor. The menu is such that it doesn’t actually tell you that mashed potatoes come with the filet, so I ordered a side of cauliflower au gratin. I was miffed as I wouldn’t have bought the extra food had I known. The mocktail was passion fruit and hibiscus. Nice for breakfast but hardly a Michelin star mocktail. They had gluten free focaccia! Sadly it wasn’t as good as it looked. GF bread is never very good lol. It’s an okay vehicle but not on its own. Recommend but not as much as WILD Tulum, the only restaurant in Tulum completely deserving of its Michelin star.

    That was my 4th time going to Casa Banana and it's ALWAYS on my list when I come to Tulum and I always tell people who visit to make sure to put it on their list.

    Simply divine meal for 3 generations of family to enjoy the real wood fire taste in each of the exquisite dishes from octopus to chorizo to steak to ribs with roasted veggies, beets, risotto, pasta… every dish was 10/10 as was the service and ambiance - second visit & can’t wait to return. This place deserves its Michelin star!
