Best Cozy Restaurants in Aruba

Best dining experience on the island so far. Outstanding and attentive service and conversation from Miguel and team. Adult kids enjoyed frog legs and escargot. My ceviche was excellent. Good steak and fish mains, and nice crème brûlée and a lava cake with pistachio ice cream to end the evening.

Great drinks and amazing service. Love the ambience.

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.

In short We celebrated our 46th Wedding Anniversary with a dinner at Hyatt. And it was great! The waiters were very Friendly and helpful including the communication was 5 stars worth. Will surely repeat Especially for the complimentary anniversary Cake!!! Please consider put this cake on the Menu as dessert? PLEAZE?? :-) Hope to come back when Ruinas del Mar is open again... See you then!!! Btw keep us posted on the reopening. Abrazos also to the Waiters Croes, the Waiter from Cali, Colombia and The waiter from the Philippines. To you all A Merry Xmas And a prosperous 2025. Melva & Robby

We loved Ramona our waiter. He was our waiter at Algave and then again at Devinci. He is so friendly and beyond nice. Loved how attentive he was❤️❤️❤️
