Andrea, have you ever been to Las Ramblas? Considering it is right there at La Cabana I don't know why I have never tried it.

*Andrea J.* · 08-04-2011, 03:08 PM

we did las ramblas 3x and each time was mediocre.
but, have not eaten there now in probably 2 yrs or longer.

Ok, that's what I thought.

Too bad the sports bar / casino won't be ready this year!

List of restaurants in Aruba that we will potentially try.

Barefoot. **http://www.barefootaruba.com/
Amuse.*http://www.amusearuba.com/
Casa Tua (Pizza). *http://www.casatuaaruba.com/pizzeria/index.php
Salt & pepper. *http://www.saltandpepperaruba.com/
Marina Pirata.*https://www.facebook.com/MarinaPirata
Marandi. *http://www.marandi-aruba.com/index.php?page=default
Pincho's. *http://dinearuba.com/Pincho_s_Grill_...tad_Aruba.aspx

Love Madam J's but the people we are traveling with went there during an oppressively hot evening with no breeze and that took away from their dining experience. We have been there when it was uncomfortably warm as well. Unfortunately we have been there when the weather was perfect as was the meal and I am said to have to skip it. Oh well.......

BTW the only one of the list above that we have been to before is Pincho's. We really enjoyed that.
We are going to try many of the places suggested here!

Andrea, I had B55 on my list to try for November, but I've been seeing less than favorable reviews. What do you think? We would be cabbing it from the Divi AI. Cooks is also on my list as well as DosLocus for places we haven't been to before. MJ's is our new Thanksgiving tradition.

*Andrea J.* · 08-05-2011, 08:33 AM

thanks treb
we had forgotten to make our reservation at MJs.

when it is hot and no breeze eating outside anywhere on aruba can be brutal.

Just my opinion of course....

We like B55 but we wouldn't spend extra money on a hefty taxi fare to go there. If you have a rental car, great - but if not, I would choose someplace closer.

exactly as amy says.
if you have a car, go for it (b55)
if you have to cab it, not worth it IMO.
