Ambianz Is Here, Adjacent To Havana Beach Club
http://ambianz-aruba.com/
Ambianz a new restaurant just opened on Sunday on Surfside beach, at the old Marandi site. The crew of Marandi Restaurant was asked to move because the site was to be converted into a luxury condominium complex, but since the project is wisely on hold, we're lucky to have Ambianz establish itself on the charming beach.
Ambianz is a fun restaurant with a continental menu of favorites. Owners Rene van Norel and Nico Vink have many years of bar and restaurant management under their belts. They met in Crete, on the Greek islands. Rene owned a bar. Nico a restaurant. They vowed to one day own similar businesses in the Caribbean. Then Rene came to Aruba about one year ago looking for a dream location, then Nico joined and Ambianz was born.
The two friends and business partners imported chef Pascal van Houten, the original Que Pasa chef, who recruited Roel van Dijk as his sou chef, taking the kitchn over. They also found the beautiful Anne Nabben to run the dining room and the bar. Try it, they are open for dinner every evening, under the stars, toes in the sand.
