One night only!

[monika]

Guys,
I've already ask on other my thread but I think this please will be better.
We have very thigh budget and we can eat some fancy dinner on one night only.
What would be your choice?Just one good restaurant?
I just add that we do not eat fishwe do not want spend fortune for taxi (maybe something on bus route).
And we are meatlovers AND RUM DRINKERS
Budget $150 max$180 per couple.


And now for other 13 nigths we need same cheap options no more than $20 per person,maybe some take aways?

And my personal question...are there watermelons???I love them!

[Andrea J.]

let me star with the $20 per person places (not including liquor (rum) ;-)
)

Lindas pancake (not just breakfast) excellent chicken and tenderloin beef sate' less than $11 apiece.

Nos Conucu awesome aruban food, burgers, keshi yena, steak, goat stew less than $15 pp

Pizza Bob, good salads too less than $15 pp

Salt n pepper tapas about $20 pp or less

Amadeus can squeak by at $20 pp

Hot Take Away next door to Amadeus less than $8 for a huge lunch, (which we saved and had for supper)

here are your higher priced places
Madam Janettes awesome steak lamb tons of delicious foods $maybe $50+ pp...maybe less.

Passions on the beach $can do for $50 pp or less great reviews

Windows on Aruba $can do for about $50 or more pp great reviews.

Flyingfishbone (fish and some steak) $50 pp and EXPENSIVE taxi ride r/t.

I will let others give their views.

I have seen watermelons at the grocery story and they are NOT inexpensive, about $10 or more.

One of my favorites is Passions: beach dining, great atmosphere and food. It's located on Eagle Beach at Amsterdam Manor so it's easy to get to from the hotel area (by bus or taxi.)

They have alot of seafood on their menu but some meat items, too. You'll have to take a look at their menu and see if there is anything you'd like. They do have an amazing watermelon salad with feta cheese that I love!

Menu: http://www.amsterdammanor.com/restaurant/menu_passions_restaurant.html

Couple other of our favorites are Papillon (located in the Palm Beach area across the street from the hotels) and Screaming Eagle (across from Eagle Beach) - you can check out their menus on their websites:

madame janettes has live music, most evenings.

ok, directions to Nos Conucu
on the main highway (not like the highways i am used to) head towards the aruban resort, it will be on your right. go around the roundabout and take the 2nd exit out of the roundabout heading inland. (there will be a gas station on your left.)
follow straight til you get to the next big intersection and i think there is a small roundabout there..........take 1st right, follow for about 1/4 - 1/2 mile.
look for a hardware store on your right and then on the left there should be a sign for NOS CONUCU . Go down that street and Nos Conucu is on the left. Nos Conucu is NOTHING much to look at, but boy is the food good and the open air pavillion with the peacocks roaming freely is terrific.
very good prices, cheap beer and mixed drinks and excellent keshi yena.

some evenings they have live bands.

We've had lunch there a couple of times - I really like ostrich burgers - the meat is very lean.

Just look at it like a farm.....we do the same thing with cows, chickens, etc. except this time it's ostriches.

[monika]

yeah I think you right Amy,at least I will try ostrich omlet.

Okey ,my last two questions.........tonight
Coctails,any special aruban coctail do I have to try???I heard about brown lady.
And bread .I do not like white bread at all,do I find there good selection of brown,granary or soya bread/rolls
