Chalet Suisse ... I am probably biased since I am friends with the owners but everyone who goes there always raves about it

Re: Aruba Restaurants- Honeymoon!!!

You have to go to the Flying Fishbone

It is the most romantic place in Aruba. The restaurant is on the beach. It's candlelight dinner. The waves of the water come to your feet. Depending what time you come you can see the sun set while you eat.

It's just beautiful there.

Aqua Grill is amazing. You def have to go there if you love seafood.

There is also a restaurant called the lighthouse. Its well known in Aruba since lots of couples go there to take photos when the sun sets. Its quite breathtaking.

We had an amazing dinner at Pelican's Nest on Palm Beach. The restaurant is on a pier and you are basically sitting right next to the water. The seafood was awesome and the whole place was incredible.

I've also heard great things about El Gaucho for steak.

Re: Aruba Restaurants- Honeymoon!!!

SIMPLY FISH!!! Its literally on the beach at the Marriot resort. Make a reservation for right before sunset and ask to sit close to the water. The food is amazing and the ambiance is even better. FH still says to this day it was the best meal he ever had! You will LOVE it!

Re: Aruba Restaurants- Honeymoon!!!

FH and I had Japengo at the Hyatt there. I wouldn't recommend it, the chef had a very heavy hand when it came to salting the food. FH experienced an upset stomach as well as allergic reaction to the sushi (which has never happened before: we're huge sushi people, Nobu or Torigo in NY are our favorite places and we go once a week)

Re: Aruba Restaurants- Honeymoon!!!

If you are foodies go to Carte Blanche. It's only 16 seats around a bar and the chef makes you a 5 course meal. You give them any food allergies/dislikes beforehand. You can do a wine paring with each course as well. It's right near all the resorts but off the beaten trail. Our cab driver didn't even know where it was!

Definitely Flying Fishbone - make a reservation for a little before sunset so you can see the sunset as your dining on the beach.

Also Madame Janettes and Mirandi - both have great atmoshpere and great food. Miriandi and FF are both a decent cab ride away, but so worth it.

*****Madame Janettes****

Everyone keeps raving about this place but we are worried theres nothing on the menu for us. We dont eat Seafood...

Are there any chicken dishes? I look at this menu and never felt so picky in my life!
