This off the beaten path restaurant serves the best dutch pancakes ever. While the look expensive on the menu they are the size of a small pizza. The are quite delicious. The place does get crowded but there are tables outside and in. You may want to start sharing a pancake and work you way up to a whole one for yourself. Good service and they just did a facelift so it looks new inside.

With 10 people we were able to enjoy so much of the menu and everything was so fresh and delicious. Our servers were sweet and very efficient. The grouper and red snapper were so good and the Dutch apple cobbler and licorice liquor were my favorite for dessert. One other great thing was they had 2 sizes for every meal, large or small portions:)

Nice awesome 100 year old home history here at the Quinta Del Carmen. The four couples from Florida made reservations here on Saturday and we had a nice outdoor table. A nice gentle breeze kept us cool making the outdoor seating very comfy.Good tasty, well prepared food mixed in with our cocktails and our white wine made this place a must try in Aruba. Great attentive service by our waitress who was on top of her game. Highly recommend this cozy home eatery!!!Enjoy!!!

This little "hole in the wall" place was recommended by locals. There is one table available, but it is clearly a takeout place. I ordered a lamb shoarma sandwich, my wife a chicken sate platter, both very good, we spent USD 15. The owner-cook-waiter-cashier was very nice. They don't have alcoholic drinks, so alternative arrangements (like the nearby Tio Pepe supermarket) are necessary in order to enhance the food with a suitable local beer (Balashi will do).

We ate here 3 times in our short week vacation in Aruba. Real Dutch food : Zuurkool, Boerenkool, Hutspot with rook worst, excellent french fries and great "bitterballen". Seating is mostly outside. Located near the urgent care. Seats are a bit hard. Lots of Dutch people frequent this place.

Came here for a late morning breakfast. It was great and filling. You really know that you're getting your money's worth here, for sure. Drinks are good. So many different types of specialty pancakes to choose from. If you get anything though, get the poffertjes(silver dollar-sized pancakes). I promise you that you won't be disappointed! Best part of the meal! Plan to spend some time here as service can be slow on busy mornings.

While strolling the downtown area, we came across a place that will become a destination for all of our future Aruba trips. Without a particular plan, or reservation, we wandered in for a drink. Immediately, we were so courteously welcomed. This restaurant has so much charm, and warmth, also a cozy outside patio. The staff was so nice, and attentive. ( Rose and Laura). The owner, offered us a sample of their distinctive menu, which was amazing. The Moscow Mule, and Pineapple Mojito were equally delicious. We ordered appetizers, and dessert, even though we weren't that hungry!. It was such a comfortable feeling we had there, we made reservations for another night before we left. Our dinner was also a fantastic experience. The owner is a remarkable person, with a dedication and passion for excellence. Roseann and Rich
