Caribbean Food Guide: 10 European food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Aruba
Reviews on European food in Aruba, Caribbean. Aruba is the quintessential Caribbean island, all sun and sea and stretches of powdery white sand. Time will slow to a pleasant crawl as you linger over a tropical cocktail or flutter serenely underwater, where only the parrotfish are in a hurry. The pastel façades of Oranjestad landmarks and shops lend an inviting and playful vibe to the capital city. Enjoy the shade of an Eagle Beach divi tree while the crashing waves of turquoise water create a soothing soundtrack just for you.

Monumental Courtyard Dining
Reviewed By Simon B
I've been to this place several times over the years. The place is nice, the food disappointed me. I have 2 kids who wanted the chicken nuggets. They were frozen chicken nuggets from McDonald's, attached is the pic, this was confirmed frozen from the waitress. How long does it take to bread chicken? When the kitchen takes shortcuts, who knows what other shortcuts they take. Why am I going to a restaurant to feed my kids McDonald's chicken nuggets? I am done with this place for good.

With Aruba's Dutch connection, this is "local" without being "local". (Made answering the Trip Advisor questions tough - is this a Caribbean restaurant? Yes - it's located in the Caribbean. Is this an European restaurant? Yes - it's got "Dutch" in the name). In truth it's the best of both worlds. We enjoyed pancakes for breakfast, pizza at lunch time, and delicious desserts. And one little local just hopped up onto our table to join us - a bird with a beautiful blue eye (I included a photo). Service was good on some occasions, not on others. Prices were good for the amount of food you got. Lots of variety in terms of the food they serve - surely everyone in your group will find something they like. The restaurant overlooks a little stage, and one night we were treated to a vocalist. There was also a beautiful sunset - just walk from the restaurant towards the water, and that's your spot for photos.Enjoy!

From a spectacular, converted building with a quasi-outdoor experience and an extremely unique menu, every offering is amazing. This restaurant and soon-to-be, Italian steak dinner restaurant next-door with a sister tapas restaurant next-door to that inspired us to do a second group dinner on our sales trip to Aruba in March 2020. This visit we did just dinner after sampling appetizers at Barefoot. The owner and manager and waiter were all amazing and we were elated over the experience and service we received. We even got a tour of the new Italian steak restaurant next-door. I donât have words to describe the unique menu offerings and the flavor that each dish had. Everything from dinner to desert and martinis were over the top. Our waiter was the brother of the bartender who made the awesome secret martini of the night. The quality of everything is truly special. We are excited to return next March and share this experience with our colleagues

Always happy with food at Gostoso. It is hard to find, so take a taxi - but very worth it. I believe they close for vacation in September, so if you are coming in September you will miss out on a great experience.

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

Great restaurant. Maybe the best on Aruba. Chef Dennis and host Glen do a great job in entertaining their 14 guests at the chefâs table. Difficult to get reservations (they only take 14 a night). So make sure you reserve before you go on vacation. Itâs next to Wilhelmina, also owned by Dennis, and it has an amazing yard to sit before and after dinner. Great area to smoke too; a dinner like this deserves a good cigar. Beautiful food. See pics.
