Dinner in Aruba

[darienill]

Anybody have a suggestion for dinner in Aruba?

 

Ship sails at 10 PM. Like fish over meat.

How much time do you have? How late is the ship sailing?

If you like meat, try Tango's. It is near the Holiday Inn/High Rise hotel area. Dinner includes a free tango show. Food was excellant and cooked in an open kitchen. There is a special price for early seating.

Hello, is anyone reading out there?

 

Ship sails at 10PM, prefer fish over meat!!!!!

 

ROTFL!!!!

Please keep in mind thatn if the ship is scheduled to leave at 10 PM, you need to back on the ship by 9:30 PM.

 

For the last few years on all the cruises we have been on that stopped at Aruba we always left by either 4 or 5 PM.

A restaurant that was highly recommended to me was Flying Fishbone in Aruba. It's apparently very romantic and they will even set up your table at the water's edge. We had a reservation to eat there this past winter, but had to cancel.

Oh my word. Please forgive me. I missed it the first time. I'll try harder in the future.

We visit Aruba quite often and our favorite restaurant is Madame Jenette. Fine food and great atmosphere. It is always the one restaurant we do on every visit to the Island

You're obviously not doing too well here.

You might try piggybacking a post onto prescottbob's thread on the Aruba board.:o

He has the same question, just slightly different parameters.

We ate at Don Carlos - an Italian restaurant just along the water by the marina. We didn't have reservations.

We both ordered seafood dishes and they were yummy. Plus, the view is great. The BEST Pina Colada I have ever had!

 

That was a few years ago though, so I don't know if it's still a good place.

you've got a problem IMO since most of the restaurants in Aruba open between 7-8

 

you're cutting it too close especially if all aboard time is 9:30

 

you'll have a much more enjoyable evening @Pinnacle (great fish and a fraction of the price compared to Aruba)

I recommend Chez Mathilde (Matilde in some reviews, they have the same address) My husband and I discovered this by chance. We had a marvelous lunch with great wine (Local business types were also dining). It is about a 5-10 minute walk from the pier. (Allow time for making a wrong turn. They have a web site. We always hope to have a port stop in Aruba so we can visit again.

DH and I dined at Chez Mathilde some years ago and agree it was wonderful. We were vacationing on Aruba and that was one of our favorite leisurely, dining evenings. As Skeezics says it is reasonably close to where the ship docks but unless they open early and you don't mind eating very early, this is not the sort of place you want to rush through dinner. I recall it was in the $$$ range. Most nice dinners in Aruba are not inexpensive.

We spend 3 weeks in Aruba every July at a timeshare. There are many wonderful restaurants. However, flying fishbone has great food in a beautiful setting. You can eat right on the beach and watch the sunset. Make a reservation at least 2 weeks prior and bring your sunglasses. You won't be disappointed.
