Things To Do in Aruba

Smokey Joe's Island Grill

We had heard great things about this restaurant, but when we went the line was down the block - so we did not get a chance to eat here.

Zeerover

We have yet to go here as well, but have heard great things about it and it has fantastic reviews online.

Chicken & Lobster

Ate here with friends. We had low expectations at first as someone was coaxing us in from the street. Not sure if it was the 2 hour open bar prior - but the food was great!

Madame Janette Restaurant

For dishes with Caribbean flare or just a Schnitzel. Restaurant has a cool Caribbean vibe.

Chalet Suisse

For Swiss dining like Spaetzle & Schnitzel.

Giannis Restaurant Aruba

Great Italian Food!

BLT Steak

One of our favorite places to eat in White Plains, would assume this is just as good if not BETTER.

Ruth's Chris Steak House

I mean, it's Ruth Chris - need we say more.

Flying Fishbone

An EXTREMELY cool place to eat. You have the option of sitting IN the water, so be sure to plan your footwear accordingly. It is a hike from downtown Aruba - so we recommend filling a cab to split the cost. You SHOULD make reservations if you would like to eat here for dinner.

Passions On The Beach

Dining right on the beach. To maximize your experience, plan your reservation around the sunset time. We went here for Kyle's 30th birthday and loved it! Had the surf & turf and the food was GREAT!

Barefoot Restaurant

Haven't been here yet, but nice place to dine on the beach.

Flamingo Beach

Have always wanted to go here, but have yet to make it. In order to visit Flamingo Beach, you will need to purchase a day pass (unless you are a guest of the hotel). A day pass cost $125 per person, which includes the boat ride to and from the island as well as lunch and a drink. You can book a day pass to Flamingo Beach online here. https://renaissancearuba.idaypass.com/ Note that you can only purchase days passes for the next day and they go on sale at 7 am the day before. They are always sold out within minutes, so make sure to set your alarm. We’d suggest having a few days open in case day passes sell out several days in advance. Island hours are 7AM to 6PM.
