Best Global Restaurants in Aruba

We had read rave reviews about Lima Bistro, including comments from the locals. The restaurant exceeded our expectations. We were a party of 3, and we ordered 3 appetizers: Scallop, shoyu butter, chips, chives; Tuna tartar, rocoto, furikake, avocado, vinegar, potato chips; Octopus, olitava, peppers, balsamic, basil, kale. Main entrees were Grilled tuna steak, peppercorn crust, yakimeshi, shoyu butter, cucumber salad; Lobster sous vide, risotto, sweet peas, pumpkin, bisque sauce. We completed our feast with Chocolate mousse, fruits, earth, vanilla cream, and Chirimoya panna cotta, orange, chocolate, honey. Each dish was absolutely delightful and flavorful. The servers were attentive and courteous. We highly recommend Lima Bistro.

Impeccable service and excellent food made for an incredible experience. We had the best grouper ever and the sea bass was also excellent. Highly recommend, but you have to make reservations early.

Nice view, service super slow. Our apps were great. The food is O.K. Drinks are pricey and not that good.

We have been to many restaurants here in Aruba. It was the first well seasoned meal we have had in 4 days. We have also ate 4 restaurants on the palm beach strip and this was the best one worth the price.

Wow…WOW! We were blown away by the world class cuisine we had at dinner. This was a last minute, let’s see what else is out there with tables available…maybe we can change from where we had planned. Omg! First off so glad I changed!! (Btw The other place is great too- we go there often.) But this was beyond a pleasant surprise at Caya house. It’s so cute walking in like found a secret garden. But can I tell you … from the “Brazilian cheese bread” starter with this insane, airy cloud of butter with the most beautiful spiral of sweetness. That alone - I knew we were in for something special. We had the pre fix dinner and my Husband had just octopus starter, the 10oz steak - said he didn’t want dessert. (He wished he had looked at them at the end btw after mine came out.) I had the ceviche to start. Then a huge lamb shank with the most delicious roasted veg in a beautiful pan sauce including cute little cut florets of polenta. Just WOW. AND CAN I SAY- to the end the night… left mind blown with the lemon cheesecake. It was a piece of art!! I didn’t know we could find this level of world class art hidden away on a side street in Aruba. I would expect this level in Paris or London or Sydney. I am going to remember this meal especially that Lemon Cheesecake (piece of art) for a very very long time. I have saved this one so we can and will be back next year for our Holiday. Bravo to the staff and to the chefs. It takes a lot for us to be this impressed. And we were VERY impressed. (I think I did the ‘we aren’t worthy bow’ at the end.). The ambience was beautiful. It’s quaint feels like you’re on vacation in a special place. The decor is simple and elegant. I think anyone would really enjoy Caya House. Can’t say enough about it. If I had the card on me I would also applaud our server which I don’t have his name on me at the time of writing this. Thank you again. And we will see you next year.
