On October 4th, 2022 the Dutch red windmill opened her doors to Fred & Diana.

Diana is known for Diana's Pancakes, across Barcelo and before that, she was the owner of a similar pancake place next to the mill.

Fred is known for his former restaurants Chef's Tables, 2 Fools and a Bull and Fred Restaurant in downtown Oranjestad.

The two decided to work together and King Fred & Princess Diana was born. Diana delights guests with Dutch pancakes in the morning, while Fred takes the reins in the evening, serving a diverse range of international cuisine for dinner.

On the second floor you will find our souvenir shop that can be visited anytime upon request.

The third floor belongs to Frans, who is a well known bartender in the Aruban hospitality industry. He will serve you cold drinks for a reasonable price.

    It was a wonderful meal, Fred is a master of chicken dishes. And all the staff were very warm and welcoming. Cool bar at the top of the windmill.

    Lovely restaurant with amazing character and charm. We enjoyed a salad, the drunk and masala chicken and the apple pie with ice cream. The food was good but the service was even better and the atmosphere made it feel like we were back in Amsterdam. Definitely recommend.

    Wait staff & food were excellent. Relaxed ambiance. Chicken schnitzel w/red wine sauce & chicken cordon bleu w/mushroom sauce were especially delicious.
