Taste My Aruba
Taste My Aruba feels like eating in someone’s home if that someone happened to be a great cook with a love for local ingredients and a flair for presentation. It’s a small, family-run restaurant in downtown Oranjestad that celebrates Aruban flavors with a modern touch. The décor is charming and casual, with soft lights, open shutters, and a breeze that carries right through the dining room.
The menu changes daily based on what’s fresh from local fishermen and farmers - snapper, lionfish, or mahi-mahi paired with local vegetables, and slow-braised meats cooked with care. Everything feels personal, from the warm greeting at the door to the thoughtful plating. It’s not fancy, just genuine a true “made in Aruba” experience - where the owner might stop by your table to tell you what came in from the boats that morning.
