Great experience! A must do while in Aruba! Cool vibe, great drinks with beautiful presentation. Unobtrusive music and soft lighting allow you to chat with your friends and still enjoy the aesthetic. Prices HALF THE MONEY of Apotek and drinks just as good!! Easy to find and more centrally located for those of us staying on Eagle Beach. Don’t miss this one! We were there 9-1030- still relatively early but late enough for us!!

About the restaurant
Pioneers of the Caribbean cocktail scene, inspiring others to crave the classic and experimental art of the cocktail. Apotheek, which is Dutch for Apothecary, serves authentic remedy cocktails in Aruba's only Speakeasy. We are tucked away in a historic building... somewhere in Oranjestad. In order for us to best serve you, we request that you make a reservation. We also ask that you kindly comply with our House Rules while visiting our establishment. Get away from the hustle and bustle of the hotel area and come take a relaxing evening stroll through our capital, Oranjestad. We look forward to filling your prescriptions soon!

My husband ordered the filet, and he loved it. I ordered the tornadoes (sp?). The bacon wrapping the beef was fatty and quite greasy. I would not order it again. Everything else was perfect.

Outdoor charcoal grill specializing in seafood and steak!

For dinner, Las Ramblas is one of the island’s most romantic escapes and a great find for foodies, too. Dine outside to the sound of the surf and soft live music while surrounded with the gentle glow of tiki-torches .

This cozy restaurant offers romantic and unique dining experience overlooking Eagle Beach and the most beautiful sunsets on Aruba.

Great food, a little pricey. The service was impeccable and setting is beautiful. The best part of the evening is listening to Saxophonist Jean Paul! He’s wonderful!

Very good food served by a professional and knowledgeable young lady. Prices are on higher side but it is Aruba . If you want good food , and do not mind paying for it , this place is a must try . Nice atmosphere for date night with live music, a talented young lady on the violin, and a modern look . It is off the regular beach area so you have to drive but it is SO WORTH THE TRIP !
