Thanks so much!

My husband and I were at the Radisson last summer for our honeymoon, and the year prior as well. My suggestions are as follows:

1. Sunset Grille at the Radisson is a must!
2. Simply Fish at the Marriott is fantastic too. You can eat in the sand. It is sooo romantic!
3. Flying Fishbone cannot be beat
4. If you are looking for something casual and close, Tango's is right across from the Radisson and has great food.
5. LG Smith's is great for the food, ambiance and wine.
6. Again, if you want something romantic, the restaurant at the California Lighthouse is so nice!

Where ever you go is generally really good. A suggestion: eat a "brunch" at the Radisson since it is included anyway. This will more than likely hold you over until dinner. But, the shrimp bucket at Gilligans (at the Radisson) is so yummy!

On our honeymoon last year we went to the Flying Fishbone, Mirandi's and a few others, but our absolute favorite was LaDome. One of my favorites is also Villa Germania. Have fun on your honeymoon!

For a smaller, less expensive place for especially for breakfast/lunch, I recommend Salt and Pepper, right across Radisson/Hyatt. We ate there several times during our honeymoon for a yummy traditional eggs and potatoes breakfast. For lunch we had a assortment of tapas one time complete with a of couple Balashi's (Aruba's beer - very good), another time we had sandwiches and burgers that were great quality. It's very expensive to eat lunch at the hotels everyday so this was a better alternative.

hello

#1 Buccaneer- The Best seafood (fresh catch of day) Lobster Bisque & Escargot, my children love the large aquariums and always eat the broiled chicken & pirates cutlass, my wife on the other hand has probably eaten everything the restaurant has to offer, she visits Aruba on business monthly and she loves to bring his business partners there.

#2 Blossoms- The best in Chinese- Japanese and Asian dishes.Kids love the teppanyaki table and love the fire show.

#3 Papiamento- Romantic and quiet place to enjoy US

#4 Sushi Ya- For an incredible Japanese experience, try cold Sake- its amazing

#5 Sunset Grill at Radisson- Great crab legs and good service just wifey and me- kids go to movie night with resort.


Aruba has many new restaurants every time we go back so we always like to try new ones. But the top 5 are a must every time we go.

Moomba's Beach Bar and Grill.. you can have dinner at your own private table on the beach... it's not that expensive either!

Aruba is our paradise

Dear Jessica,

Congrats - My wife and I honeymooned in Aruba. We went back last year. Our favorite is the Runins Del Mar at the Hyatt. For a less expensive but filling meal, believe it or not Tony Romas was good. The Hyatt by far is our favorite place to eat.
Jeff
