Best Historic Restaurants in Oranjestad

Great ambience, very swanky! Great overall experience!

The food could improve a lot. Cocktails, the place and attention was perfect

Some of the best Italian food we’ve had anywhere. And $39 wine bottles are a great value. At owner’s suggestion, we had a red blend that was truly outstanding. Went back. 2 nights later and had another memorable dinner. Definitely a new Aruba staple for us.

A true hidden gem! My favourite place to get breakfast

Every time we visit Aruba, a stop at King Fred’s is a tradition we wouldn't dream of skipping. Nestled inside the iconic red windmill. Our absolute favorite dish is the Beef Wellington, a masterpiece that requires ordering at least a day in advance and serves a minimum of 4 people. When it's just the two of us, we happily take leftovers to-go. Pairing the Beef Wellington with their famous Mustard Soup is a culinary experience that is simply unparalleled, this combo is hands-down my favorite meal on the island! The drinks are great too, mojitos rank as my personal favorite. Chef Fred is a true artist in the kitchen, crafting dishes with evident care and the freshest ingredients. The service team is equally exceptional, we have had Lucia many times—her warm and cheerful presence always adds to the dining experience. We also love heading upstairs to Drinks with Frans for a post-dinner drink, soaking in the unique experience at the top of the windmill and visiting with Frans. We even tried a special liquor from Holland. This is a must-visit spot for anyone coming to Aruba. We always leave with full hearts and even fuller stomachs!
