Aruba, not just the most Beautiful Island in the Caribbean…you’ll love the food here.

If you travel often and have visited different countries or Caribbean islands, you know all to well as you try different restaurants claiming to be “Italian, Japanese, French, or Steak Houses and how many times the meals served are much to be desired as it is only their rendition of the traditional meals. With disappointment as you finish your dinner and are thinking the meal you just had tasted nothing like you expected and realize that’s how they prepare that dish in that locale. From our dining experiences in Aruba we have found the quality of dinners to be quite different and if you have ever vacationed here you have a good idea of what I am talking about. From our first visit to Aruba we were pleasantly surprised at the authenticity in traditional taste of most specialties served in the restaurants.

Being from the New York City area and surrounded by some of the best restaurants in the world, I can tell you that most of the Italian restaurants in Aruba are as authentic as those in Little Italy, or Italy itself.  I am all Italian, my mothers family is from Northern Italy and my fathers family from Sicily, so I am accustomed to great authentic Italian dishes. In Aruba, the restaurant owners treat you like you are an invited family guest at their home for dinner. The wait staff is always courteous & friendly striving to assure you enjoy the food and are comfortable. Similar to Italian chefs, the Arubans chefs are perfectionists, using the freshest of ingredients and adding flair to give every meal an appetizing appeal. Most everyone we have met working in the restaurants are genuinely friendly, polite and love to host the visitors.

Be sure to include some of the many authentic Aruban restaurants in your dinner plans during your vacation stay. Authentic Aruban cuisine is a fusion of many tastes from the Dutch, Brazilian, Native Aruban Indian, South American, European and Caribbean cultures creating one of a kind tastes and flavors.

Aruba has a large assortment of world class gourmet restaurants featuring many menu choices like; fresh ocean seafood, shellfish, conch, lobster, tapas, beef, pasta, churrasco, tempura, ribs and enchiladas. You will discover specialty restaurants serving traditional dishes like goat, keshi yena and wahoo.

AGA – The Aruba Gastronomic Association. Don’t let the name fool you. This association started over 10 years ago and is basically a restaurant association committed to culinary and restaurant service excellence. The AGA represents over 35 of Aruba’s top notch ethnic and international cuisine restaurants on the island. They assure you of safety, quality and they perform unannounced inspections and visits to the restaurants. AGA sponsors a Dine-Around Program that lets you select a sampling dinner menu from each of the vendors dishes.

 Aruba Steakhouses and Seafood Restaurants

Ruth’s Chris Steak House

As we have traveled to many places over the years and have dined at many restaurants, we usually stay away from chain or franchise restaurants because of the same drab menu’s they offer. Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse is much different than other chain steakhouses. They offer basically the same menu at all of their locations but there is something very unique about Ruth’s. If you are a steak lover and have been to Ruth’s you know what I mean. If you have never been to Ruth’s steakhouse you are in for a pleasant surprise. Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse has an impeccable wait staff that treats you like royalty no matter where the location of the restaurant and the quality is exactly the same at each one. The steaks offered and unique taste is one which you will compare all other steakhouses to hereafter.

We visit Aruba regularly and this year Ruth’s opened a new restaurant in the Marriott Hotel. We usually make all of our dinner reservations ahead of time for the week and we included Ruth’s for one of those nights to have dinner. I filled out the reservation form and included that our anniversary was that week. I mentioned this to all of the other restaurants which we made reservations for the other nights. Out of the eight choices, Ruth’s was the only restaurant that even made mention of our anniversary celebration and served some special items and had a desert dish special for our anniversary. As we entered the restaurant we were greeted and wished a happy anniversary and the waiter also commented about the celebration.

We brought friends with us who had never been to Ruth’s steakhouse and they were also very satisfied with the quality and hospitality. If you are vacationing in Aruba, make sure to include Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse in you dinner plans. Make reservations ahead, and enjoy your meal. ArubaJerry
