La Tavola

December 17, 2025

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our absolute favorite restaurant in Aruba La Tavola is hands down our favorite place on the island. We come back every trip, and for good reason. The food is consistently phenomenal and made with real care. This visit was outstanding. The fish balls were packed with flavor, the pureed broccoli soup was silky and comforting, and the tuna tartare was incredibly fresh and well balanced. The jumbo shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the mahi mahi was meaty, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Dessert was next level: Venezuelan custard (quesillo), chocolate mousse, and Venezuelan custard pie—all absolutely to die for. Finished with a mango pineapple puree cocktail with rum that was smooth, tropical, and dangerously good. What really sets La Tavola apart is the people. The owners actually know us and make us feel like family every time we walk in. That kind of warmth, combined with food at this level, is rare. If you’re in Aruba and want a place you’ll come back to again and again, this is it.

We are from Denmark, where the concept of hygge is used to describe a sense of warmth, comfort, and well-being—an atmosphere that does not have a direct translation. This concept perfectly captures the ambiance at La Tavola. The restaurant is quiet, cosy, and welcoming, creating an environment where one can truly appreciate each moment. Coming from a country with a significant number of Michelin-starred restaurants, we can confidently say that the food was exceptional. We highly recommend making a reservation to experience this remarkable restaurant during your time in 🇦🇼

So good we ate there for breakfast and dinner! Recommended by our host. You have to make a reservation for dinner and it's limited. They are very accommodating to gluten free diets. Everything was delicious.
