Favorite Meal in Aruba (let's take it a step further than just restaurants)
So... we've covered favorite restaurants, etc...

What is your favorite meal at those restaurants?



I'm a big cheese fan, haha.... so what restaurants have really tasty cheesy (not spicy.. just cheesy dishes). I bet that sounds goofy but...

El Gaucho has great steaks. What is the best?, etc... Buccaneer and fish, etc...

Mixed grill at El Gaucho...
Tenderloin, BBQ chicken, pork ribs (St. Louis style), sausage, beef short ribs. Love 4 of 5 (usually substitute extra pork ribs for the beef ribs).
Like this plate more than any of the steaks!

Pan fried grouper at Wacky Wahoo's, best meal I've had anywhere in the world. Every meal there has been excellent, never had anything there that wasn't excellent or better.

dont mean to change subject, but never had grouper, is it a white fish, what does it taste like, very fishy ?

sorry, getting back, the shrimp scampi at Bucaneer and of course a nice glass of white, was one of my favorites, not into beef.

MMMM my favorite is at Madam Janette's. It is a surf and turf, I think it is called "Giani Versace" It is a tender filet mignon topped with sauteed spinach and portabella mushrooms and lobster medallions topped with hollandaise sauce. ABSOLUTELY delicious!

gianni versacxe is liz-arubalover's favorite at MJs YUM

my all time all around favorite is the almond crusted grouper at MJs.


grouper a nice mild white fish
not dense like swordfish
but not as flaky as haddock.

My favorite is a toss up between the almond grouper at Madame Jeanette and the onion soup at Pappipamento. I know that is a weird combination. I am hoping to go to MJ on Friday night
