    Best dinner we’ve had all week in Aruba. Was a last-minute restaurant change for Thanksgiving, and we are glad we made the decision. We shared the goat cheese crème brûlée and escargot for appetizers—so yum that I could’ve eaten another serving of both myself, truthfully. My wife and kids had the Dutch steak, and I had the wild boar shank for our main course. Both were flavorful and well-plated. We unfortunately passed on dessert, because we were stuffed. When we return to Aruba, Papillon will definitely be a spot to dine at once again.
