Top 9 Dutch food in Aruba, Caribbean

May 7, 2020 Malia Yoakum

Find out what Dutch restaurants to try in Aruba. 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.

We saw their menu in the MENU brochure and were intrigued with the selection. It wasn’t the usual everywhere menu but had lamb casserole and what really caught our attention was that all dishes came in two sizes. Small or large so you can suit your appetite. We had carpaccio and smoked salmon salad, both had the lamb casserole in cast iron casserole pot with mashed potatoes. It came with broccoli, cauliflower carrots and French beans. Wonderful. We were sat in the front veranda which was nice as it had some breeze. We will definitely go there on our next visit.

Located in a neighborhood not far from the beaches (accessible by car or taxi), this large restaurant is set in a wood-fenced covered garden. A singer-guitarist provides great background music while you enjoy your meal. The food is unbelievably good - and the portions are huge. Had we known how big, we would have skipped the (very good) caesar salad we shared as a starter. I had the almond-crusted grouper and my husband had the wiener schnitzel (each comes with your choice of side) - neither of us was able to finish the meal.

Chalet Suisse

Reviewed By Susie H

Have been in Aruba off and on for 17 years, and always driven past this restaurant, and finally tried it out, and it did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in we felt like very special guests, lots of attention, and well taken care of. Food was great, service over the top, very friendly and good price. Attention to detail was wonderful. My only suggestion, is the to help a little with the curb side appeal, may be cut and trim up the grass from the outside, just needs a little attention, however beautiful and very clean inside.

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.

Had dinner here but we both felt that there was something lacking in our meals. Salads are nice and fresh but the mains seemed a bit ho-hum. I had the seafood lasagna that came as a huge portion but came across as bits of shrimp and fish tossed into a bland sauce and then a mega heaping of cheese added to the top and then baked really hot until the whole thing is bubbling. I love cheese but......

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!

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
