A true culinary experience with one seating per night for 16 people. We were greeted by Tom with a drink then ushered to the patio to meet other diners. Everyone was very friendly and as equally excited. There are 5 carefully curated courses with explanations of each by Chef Albert. There are optional wine pairings with each course (except the soup).

A true culinary experience with one seating per night for 16 people. We were greeted by Tom with a drink then ushered to the patio to meet other diners. Everyone was very friendly and as equally excited. There are 5 carefully curated courses with explanations of each by Chef Albert. There are optional wine pairings with each course (except the soup). Each dish was truly delicious with unique elements that delivered an artistic level of culinary delight. We went during our Honeymoon and had a sign at our seats to congratulate us - a very sweet touch. Plan for at least 3 hours of exceptional food and hospitality. Parking was easy in the street, too.

Tom and Albert put on a great chefs table experience on the island. From the time you step into the beautifully renovated colonial building, to enjoying 5 delicious dishes, to sipping on well paired wines, these two have put something special together. Tom’s ultra-personable personality made you feel right at home and Albert’s skills in the kitchen made sure you were well satisfied leaving. Centrally located, this is a must visit for those coming to Aruba.

KOAL is an absolute must-visit in Aruba! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a wonderful host who made us feel so welcome. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, perfect for enjoying a nice evening without feeling rushed. The food was outstanding—every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. You can really tell the chef puts passion and creativity into everything that comes out of the kitchen. It felt special without being pretentious, which we really loved. Overall, it was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had on the island. Great food, amazing chef, and such warm hospitality.
