Lunch

What are some good places to go for lunches... (places that serve light meals, not unbutton your pants, need a nap in the middle of the day meals..) We pretty much have our ideas for dinners but I hate having to go all over looking for lunch...

Thanks!!

Salt & Peppers have a bunch of Tapas you can order to just taste some different foods and they are only a couple bites each...nice if you want to try something different but not a whole meal...try the mushrooms, and the calamari. They also have a good salad named after the resturant and the pineapple burger is pretty good too.





Aruba, my home away from home !!

Peanuts is good and Toetje Cafe is also good. Toetje Cafe is located next to Peanuts in downtown.

Tomato Charlies, Pizza One in Tanki Leendert is also good. Pizza One has items other than only pizza on their menu's as well.

The Renaissance marina has tapas also at the poolside. Its part of the BLue Martini bar. If you'e downtown stop by. Its up the elevator, behind the blue bar at the pool. Nice umbrella tables and its nice to watch the traffic and marina thru the glass wall at the pool.

We love having a light lunch at the Bugaloe (located on the pier between the Radisson and the Riu.)

Amici's, across from the Playa Linda, has a great lunch. The BLT's are TO DIE FOR!

Also have had some awesome fish sandwiches at the beach bar at Playa Linda. Gilligan's was great....and the little place on the pier near the Holiday Inn.
