Aruba is known for its beautiful beaches, clear water, and great weather. However, a lot of people don’t realize that One Happy Island also has some amazing Aruba restaurants to choose from! If you’re going to be staying at Casiola’s vacation rentals and want to find out where some of the best places to eat are in Oranjestad and throughout the island, then keep reading!
1. Papiamento Restaurant
Located on Washington 61, Noord, Papiamento offers a great range of local cuisine and international favorites. You’ll find well-known dishes like grilled meats and seafood, but also some fun specialties. The restaurant has two seating areas: one large dining room with an airy feel, or an enclosed setting under the stars enclosed by a lush garden, around a sparkling pool. The setting is just magical!
2. Madame Janette
Madame Janette is a perfect place for breakfast, lunch, dinner or any time of day. It’s kid-friendly and has great options for large groups. It’s also romantic and perfect for special occasions. The restaurant offers exquisite creations for every taste in generous portions. Madame Janette also features an extensive and unique wine list, as well as the largest beer selection in the Caribbean! Enjoy daily live music and experience alfresco dining at this Caribbean favorite that offers serenity on Aruba’s tranquil north coast.
3. Wacky Wahoo’s
Wacky Wahoo’s is one of Casiola’s favorite restaurants on the island. Located near high-rise hotels, Wacky Wahoo’s offers great food and service at a reasonable price. The restaurant serves fresh seafood that is prepared in a uniquely Caribbean style. It’s perfect for families, groups, and budget travelers alike!
The restaurant offers a variety of Caribbean dishes, including King Crab, Tiger Shrimp, and a fresh Catch of the Day. The portions are generous and you’ll definitely leave feeling full! If you’re looking for something different than the average American-style meals served at most restaurants in Aruba, Wacky Wahoo’s is worth a try.
4. Passions on the Beach
Passions on the Beach is Aruba’s first beachfront restaurant, and it offers some of the best views in all of Aruba. Located near Eagle Beach, Passions is the perfect place to enjoy a meal with family or friends while taking in stunning views of white-sand beaches and crystal blue waters.
Passions serves dishes from The Ranch, Reef and everywhere in between—including their own original creations made with fresh island flavors. Their highest quality meats pair perfectly with irresistible seafood and vegetarian dishes. Sip under the stars by day or take advantage of their beachside location by night: they have live music seven days a week! Children 3 years and younger eat for free.
5. BLT Steak
BLT Steak is a great place to enjoy a romantic dinner with your significant other, or an elegant family feast. With its oceanfront location, casual elegance and extensive menu of modern interpretations of American steakhouse classics, BLT Steak is the perfect choice for a night out on the town.
The restaurant’s weekly specials highlight seasonal Aruba flavors and local ingredients, while the regular menu includes such favorites as braised short ribs over creamy polenta, premium steaks such as filet mignon or porterhouse, seared sea scallops served with bacon-wrapped dates, shrimp risotto tossed in pesto cream sauce, risotto cakes topped with smoked salmon or crab salad, grilled chicken breast served atop ratatouille and poached eggs (topped with capers), pan-seared duck breast served atop creamy lentils with baby carrots and parsley potatoes, there’s something here for everyone!
