Pam Pam has always been a favorite - however - since the new management took over last October - we strongly feel that it should be included in the top 5 picks of restaurants in Aruba. The menu has changed somewhat with a very innovative chef who has 'carte blance' with the owners. Imagine the trust to deliver consistent, tasty meals - reasonably priced - every night. The service has taken a quantum leap with the new management. They are very eager to please, keep your water filled and making sure that you are happy with the libations and food. The new decor is simple but elegant - rivals MJ's for sure. We had a delightful evening and look forward to our next visit. They are planning some expansion.....make sure you call for reservations!!! ps - dancing at 8:30 on Friday nights!!

Updates?

I heard a glowing review from a friend who was there over the summer. Would love to hear more about it. Perhaps a seldom mentioned gem?

it is seldom mentioned gem.
we have had a few great meals there and a mediocre meal once.

i think it does not get the crowds because of the location.
it is set back down a dirt road with incredibly huge bumps.

it is on our list for this visit.
our restaurant list for this visit is short as we plan on eating in majority of time.

When the time comes someday, our magic carpet driver would know the route and get us there safely

Right Bully?

yup i am sure he knows the way.
his vehicle can certainly handle those bumps.

We, too, have had several meals at Pam Pam. While I enjoy the atmosphere and decor there, the meals we had we really just average...not bad, but nothing to rave about.

Now, we have heard about the change in management and are willing to try it again. So ... in March we will probably be putting Pam Pam back on our list. Would love to hear any other reviews from folks.

check out the menu.
it is kind of difficult to read due to the color print.
i NEVER knew they were open for breakfast.
it is on our list.

Thanks - always looking for a new experience on the island . . . of course, it is hard to beat my grouper (from Zeerover of course) with white wine and miso wrapped in banana leaves on the grill . . . but, eh, who wants to cook every night :-) Michael

this sounds great, where is it located? thanks

pam pam direction directions ( :-) ) drive down the road heading north past the old adventure golf, past the dentist office with the BIG tooth, past capt table restaurant and right before you get to the end of the road there is a sign on the right for PAM PAM. turn right at that sign and drive slowly. pam pam will be on the left left about 200 yds down that road.
