Gourmet Food and Locally Caught Seafood, Live Music, Great Ambiance at Guanabanas in Jupiter

 Take Grandma to Lunch, Brunch or Dinner at Guanabanas in Jupiter.  Grandpa, Too!

Part of our goal for this blog is to provide clients and potential clients of BrightStarCare.com/jupiter with lots of ideas for local food, entertainment, and activities.  You might think that your senior relatives or friends are perfectly content to watch TV all day and talking to their pets, but it just ain't so.  Make their day by suggesting an afternoon or evening at a fun and delicious local restaurant.

One of the most popular restaurants and entertainment venues in the entire county is Guanabanas, located down near Jupiter Island Park on Hwy A1A. 

Opened by Jupiter surfers as a sandwich shop in 2004, Guanabanas has grown to become an institution in northern Palm Beach County for three reasons: The lush, tropical setting; great cuisine and cocktails (long gone are the sandwich shop days!); and live music from both national acts and the hottest names in South Florida. Guanabanas is a 100 percent open-air restaurant and bar with woven tiki huts and banyan trees towering overhead, and hand-chiseled coquina stone pathways underfoot. The team maintains a laid-back, island atmosphere where everyone is welcome.  Co-owner Jeannie Van Boven says:

"The diversity of the patrons continue to amaze us. We see people coming from all different places for all sorts of reasons, whether it's a group enjoying ladies night out, a young family for an early dinner, a couple on date night, boaters stopping in for a bite, or a group catching happy hour after work, all kinds seem to mix and enjoy themselves. Our patrons tend to feel more like family."

GOURMET: Guanabanas underwent a $2.5 million renovation in 2007 that included creating a full-service, state-of-the-art kitchen. The use of locally produced ingredients is the order of the day. All of seafood is purchased from local sources and, as a licensed wholesale seafood dealer, Guanabanas is subject to South Atlantic Fisheries Management Commission and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission regulations. As a “Fresh From Florida” campaign participant, all fish, shrimp, crab and clams served at Guanabanas are from Florida.  That explains why the seafood is so fresh!!


LIVE MUSIC: Hosting local, regional and national artists on our tiki stage overlooking their waterfalls, Guanabanas has the best live music in Palm Beach County. Acts that have appeared at Guanabanas include reggae legend Pato Banton, Natasha Beddingfield, the Spam Allstars, Iration, Jason Ricci, Sol Driven Train, Zach Deputy, Less Than Jake, Albert Castiglia, Harper, Timmy Curran, Brad Vickers, Eric Lindell and Suenalo! The home page of their website keeps you up to date on which acts are coming next.
