What to see and do in Aruba
Dining
Fish and seafood abound in countless preparations, countries tried-and- true, and updated versions of oldies created by experienced and award-winning chefs, both local and from abroad. The settings are as diverse as the menu offerings: by the pool, on the beach, penthouse and art gallery, seaside coast to coast, deep in the countryside, open-air terraces, in malls, in landmark bars, hotel and resort spots of interest. Some are elegant,some are casual. The choice is yours.
