A seat on the water

One hundred percent open-air on the Intracoastal: tiki huts, banyan trees, and hand-chiseled coquina stone, with the marina rolling by.

Fish off the dock

Fresh-from-Florida seafood and tropical plates: the Playa rice bowl, the Palm Beacher, the Avocado Bacon Mango Salad on those bright island plates.

Cocktails & live music

A deep tropical bar of margaritas, mezcal, and international rum, with live music most days under the palm-frond roof.

Our story

Built by hand, on the water, for everyone.

Guanabanas grew up among the banyan trees on the Jupiter waterfront: woven tiki huts, hand-chiseled coquina stone, and string lights over the Intracoastal. It is one hundred percent open-air, and it has been since the doors opened in 2004.

The food is fresh from Florida, the cocktails lean tropical, and the music plays most days. It is laid-back, family-friendly, and dog-friendly, the kind of place where everyone is welcome and nobody is in a hurry.

Island food & live music, since 2004.

From the kitchen

Surf-named, island-fed.

The menu reads like a break check: First Wave to start, The Green Room for the salads, then the catch. Here is where regulars start.

The bright daytime waterfront terrace — round tables with orange-lacquered tops and big canvas umbrellas beside the mangrove channel and palms — Lunch on the terrace, with the channel rolling by.
