What are the Best Restaurants in Aruba? This is a loaded question because there are so many great spots to choose from in Aruba. It all depends on your taste buds because Aruba has something for everyone from local Dutch & Caribbean cuisine, Pizza, Italian, Peruvian, seafood, steak house, food trucks, fining dining, chef tastings, fast food and a bunch of chain restaurants for non adventurous people lol. My personal favorites by far are the Chef Tastings but for some people it maybe too fancy, too expensive or take too long to have dinner. So it all depends on your vibe and taste buds when determining what the Best restaurant in aruba is

Aruba Buddys Top 10 Favorite Restaurants in Aruba in no particular order!

#1 Lima Bistro – www.LimaBistro.com Owner

Lima is one of my favorites, Chef Teddy Bouroncle is a culinary genius serving Authentic upscale Peruvian cuisine and fantastic cocktails

#2 Royal – www.FredAruba.com

Another favorite is my dude! Chef Roy Engelen at Royal Aruba we’ve dined with there 6 or 7 times now definitely one of the Top Chef Tastings on the island for sure. Made some crazy memories our first time dining there lol. After the tasting we invited Roy and Kris to come have some drinks at the speakeasy, after that we had more drinks and closed down Bar Chaos, at bar Chaos we met Roys pal Uncle Neil, after Chaos Chef Roy grabbed some of that Truffle Romano from the restaurant and we went to Uncles Neils condo and made grilled cheese sandwiches at 4am lol Wild Night! Since that night its tradition that we dine at Royal when visiting Aruba

#3 Bingo – www.BingoAruba..com

Looking for a casual spot with very affordable delicious local dutch cuisine BINGO! B I N G O is the name O

#4 Divi Sushi Bar at The Ritz Carlton – www.RitzCarlton.com

Looking for the Best Sushi in Aruba the Divi Sushi Bar located in the main lobby of the Ritz Carlton Aruba is the Spot! Every trip we stop here at least once for lunch and cocktails. The bartender Sebastian is the man and all the staff there are super friendly I recommend the Ritz Carlton Roll.

#5 Azar – www.AzarFireGrill.com

Another Banger involving Chef Teddy! This one is open fire cuisine concept and fantastic craft cocktails located in Palm Beach area. Some of my favorites there are smoked rum old fashioned, chicken croquettes, scallops. rotisserie chicken, sous vide short rib only thing missing is Churros on the menu full time lol!

#6 – Pinchos – www.PinchosAruba.com

Dined here for the first time last trip everything was excellent. But I think what sold me was the ambiance it was a very relaxing and chill island vibe. The Coconut Shrimp and Jerk Chicken Apps were both delicious I would recommend getting them.

#7 Wilhelmina – www.WilhelminaAruba.com

I’ve never met the Chef here but know he’s an OG on the island who runs some fabulous restaurants. We dined here with a party of 7 and everything was on point from service to food. And the probably have the best Ceviche on the island!

#8 – Amore Mio – www.AmoreMioAruba.com

This is my favorite pizza spot I’ve found on the island. Specifically the Bolognese Pizza cooked well done, when made and cooked correctly it is hands down my favorite pizza on the island. Located right downtown palm beach next to Giannas

#9 Oak – www.OakAruba.com

Great little spot but can be tough to get into so I’d recommend getting a reservation. Located in Noord short drive from the high rise hotels. Offering delicious seafood, steaks and italian specialties. Me n the lady split the Caribbean lobster Tail and Peppercorn Filet to make the ultimate surf n turf!

#10 Ever – www.Ever-RestaurantAruba.com

This relatively New Chef Tasting on the island is making Big waves! This 8 course Chef Tasting lead by Chef @EverdePena is to die for. One thing I like that sets them apart from other tastings is their mixologist Denzel aka Mr. Washington crafting up delectable cocktails if you’re not into wine.
