Best International Restaurants in Oranjestad

Lima Bistro has quickly become our go-to restaurant when we’re in Aruba. From the moment you arrive until you leave the ambiance, food and service are all top notch. To start, we had the Scallop, shoyu butter, chips, chives and the Beef anticucho, potato, panka chili sauce. Flavor was off the chart! For Vegetable we had Grilled cauliflower al pastor, salsa verde, pineapple, chipotle. The cauliflower had a wonderful char and was perfectly balanced with the rest of the plate. For dinner, I had the Porkchop cowboy style, mushrooms, mashed potato, burnt onion, herb oil. My husband had the Flank steak, anticucho sauce, romaine, black garlic Caesar, crispy onion, burned onion powder. Portions were plentiful and exquisitely prepared and presented. We were so full after our meal but couldn’t skip out on dessert which was French Toast, condensed milk, honey, wild berries, vanilla ice cream. A sweet and tasty end to our meal. Cocktails expertly crafted and very refreshing. Last but certainly not least our server, Jean, was WONDERFUL! Helpful with the menu and couldn’t have been sweeter. We will 100% return (again) next time we are in Aruba.

Our experience was excellent at the Vue. Seated at a high top provided a lovely view of the sunset and surrounding area. JEFF, our server was GREAT! JEFF was always smiling, checking in at just the right time to see our satisfaction with drinks & meal. Kudos to the chefs prepping our garlic shrimp appetizer, pumpkin soup & tasty salmon-they all tasted amazing! We would definitely return here again.

This is our 12th time to Aruba and we always go to Madame Janette! When we arrived, the hostess mentioned our seating request and noted which table we had on our previous visit, asking if we wanted the same table! (A year ago) Our meal started with a couple of different German lagers (their beer menu is several pages long…). We chose lobster ravioli as our appetizer, and it was delicious. We both picked the almond grouper as our main course and we loved it; the topping of ribboned carrots and creamed spinach was yummy. Each dinner came with a side, so we chose creamed spinach and potatoes augratin. The portion sizes are generous. We have enough leftovers for a meal today. They also bring focaccia bread with two dipping sauces to the table as you enjoy a drink before ordering. One sauce was an oil/onion/chili pepper, and the other was garlic butter. Both were excellent…just try to not fill up on it before dinner! The service is attentive, and they’ve introduced an extra feature…there is a light on the table that provides a nice glow, and when you flip it, the light turns red. Within a minute of flipping it to red, someone will come to your table to address your needs (another drink, order dessert, get the check, etc). Excellent idea!! I wish more restaurants would do it. Make your reservations in advance - I normally book reservations before we fly in.

Amazing food, service, and experience. This was arguably the best dinner I have ever had. When in Aruba you must go!

Absolutely Amazing! I encourage everyone visiting Aruba and those who live local to dine at this resturant. They have something for everyone. The menu has amazing dishes to include Indonesian, Bali Seafood, Fresh caught fish, Lamb Chops, Steak, Pork Chops, something for everyone. The food is amazing. Filled with flavors and prepared to perfection. The restaurant has a full bar menu and also prepare the best tasting home made fresh juices such as Pomegranate, Papaya, Ginger, Coconut etc. The Pomegranate is my favorite and delicious! The Service is absolutely impeccable 👌🏾. Truly a 5 star dining feel with attention to every detail. Everything that our table orders was absolutely delicious and flavorful. This resturant does a perfect job. Stop in or make a reservation and I guarantee this will be one of your favorite dinner spots in Aruba.
