Tasting menus, chef's tables and special-occasion restaurants
Aruba's restaurant scene has grown into one of the best in the Caribbean. Besides classic fine-dining restaurants, the island has several intimate chef's tables where a small group of guests enjoys a tasting menu.
Please note that the Michelin Guide does not cover Aruba, so no restaurant on the island has a Michelin star, although several chefs trained in Michelin-starred kitchens.
Chef's tables
- Infini by Urvin Croes – an eight-course tasting menu for a handful of guests at Eagle Beach
- The Kitchen Table by White – seven Aruban-Caribbean courses for 16 guests
- The Journey – Chef's Table – French-Caribbean tasting menu for about 20 guests
Fine dining
- Elements – adults-only oceanfront dining at Bucuti & Tara
- Papiamento – fine dining in a historic country house
- Screaming Eagle – modern French fusion on Eagle Beach
- Ruinas del Mar – seafood at the Hyatt Regency
- Chalet Suisse – Swiss and international classics
- Wilhelmina – garden restaurant in Oranjestad
- Papillon – French-Caribbean cuisine
Tips
- Chef's tables have very few seats: book weeks ahead.
- Mention dietary requirements when you book.
- Smart casual clothing is usually fine, even in the best restaurants.
Good to know
- Michelin stars: none – the Michelin Guide does not cover Aruba
- Reservations: essential
Opening hours, menus and prices change regularly, so check the restaurant's website or social media before you go.
