Off the beaten Path: Lunch in Aruba

[BroncosFan2010]

Aruba will be fairly far into our B2B cruise, and DH and will probably be getting tired of ship buffet lunches. We are looking for an authentic place to eat lunch that is frequented by the locals and not too touristy. Any suggestions?

My DW and I have always enjoyed having lunch at The Paddock.

It's right across the street from the Crystal Casino and is quite good.

Now, if you really want "off the beaten path", you can rent a car..

make that a jeep and find Boca Prins. Now that's a spot for off the beaten path food and drink. There's also Charlie's bar in San Nicholas very close to the oil refinery. Once in San Nicholas, just ask anyone and they can direct you to it. It is definetly different.

There are a number of "local" restaurants mentioned at

You need to go through the posts to find specifically the restaurants, but imo, it is probably something along the lines of what you are looking for...for example Brasas y Leñas, Aruba, DWI

Not open for lunch, and I would call this a tourist restaurant.

If you are renting a car B-55 is a great place for lunch, if you have the car I would drive to Baby beach then stop at B-55 on the way back. I you need further info on directions please ask.
