Why Travelers Love Royal Aruba

4.9 / 5.0(63 reviews)
We went here on my wife's Birthday and it was a memorable first time chef's experience for both of us. We enjoyed every bit of the process, greetings with prosecco, brief introduction of every guest, starters, music, course presentations, travel around the world with the wine cart from experienced sommelier Reinier, social breaks and of course the dishes - beautifully crafted 5-course dinner, and every dish was outstanding and bursting with flavor.

We went here on my wife's Birthday and it was a memorable first time chef's experience for both of us. We enjoyed every bit of the process, greetings with prosecco, brief introduction of every guest, starters, music, course presentations, travel around the world with the wine cart from experienced sommelier Reinier, social breaks and of course the dishes - beautifully crafted 5-course dinner, and every dish was outstanding and bursting with flavor. Chef Ashwin personally introduced every course, explaining how it was prepared and pointing out the special ingredients he used. His passion and creativity made the meal feel even more special. The atmosphere was warm and fun, with happy old-school music that set a great mood. The service was also excellent — attentive, friendly, fun, and professional throughout the night. Thanks to the Royal Aruba team for a remarkable Birthday night!

Absolutely incredible experience and what a wonderful way to kickstart our trip on Aruba. Visited for the first time and this was Michelin star I have traveled and dined at several Michelin star restaurants, and this deserves the star. From entrance to exit we were left smiling and throughly enjoyed every last second!

This was recommended as one of the bets restaurants in Aruba and the reviews were not lying. This is ultimate foodie experience created by a a couple for 16 people each evening. Setenu with or without wine pairing, it is as close as you can get to gastronomical bliss. Very personal service, you make friends with the other patrons. Definitely worth it.

This is my second time here with my husband and it’s a MUST when we come to Aruba. If you want to experience the art of food, this is the place to be. You can taste the chef’s passion for culinary art in every single bite. I highly recommend Royal! PS. The wine pairings are a must!
