BREAKFAST

Cunucu Terrace Buffet http://diviaruba.com/menus/cunucu_terrace.html is right there at the Tamarijn. The Pelican Restaurant at the Divi also serves breakfast and is a little bit more upscale, but I doubt the kids would care. Meaning it would probably not be worth it to them to walk or ride the golf cart down to the Divi just to eat breakfast (or lunch for that matter).

LUNCH

Same options as above or Pizza per Tutti, more details below.

DINNER

Sit down ala carte restaurants:

The Red Parrot restaurant At the Divi All Inclusive
" features fine cuisine and attentive service for dinner only in either an indoor, air-conditioned setting or on the beachside outdoor terrace." http://diviaruba.com/menus/red_parrot_menu.html

We like all of the ala carte restaurants at the Divi/Tamarijn but the Red Parrot (above) is our favorite.

All below at the Tamarijn:

Paparazzi Restaurant Bar and Lounge
"a favorite for dinner, serves classic Italian foods and select wines in an intimate setting." http://diviaruba.com/menus/paparazzi.html

Ginger Asian-fusion restaurant
"featuring air-conditioned indoor seating and chic modern décor, offers eclectic dishes such as Tokyo Beef Noodles, Mango Chicken and Vegetarian Tempura Mix." http://diviaruba.com/menus/ginger_menu.html

The Palm Grill restaurant
"lets you stir-fry shrimp, swordfish, chicken or beef mixed with fresh vegetables and rice on specialty grill tables." http://diviaruba.com/menus/palm_grill_menu.html

Your kids will love cooking their own food at the Palm Grill.

SNAKS.

...and lunch

Pizza per Tutti casual bar and grill
"offers full bar service, snacks and pizza cooked in its open brick ovens with great ocean views." http://diviaruba.com/menus/pizza_per_tutti_menu.html

Unless your kids are "foodies" they will be willing to eat lunch and dinner and all snacks at "per Tutti". It is poolside so not far from the "action" and the food is very good! Speaking from experience of our family , for snacks, love the Mexican Fries, Onion rings and garlic bread. All are winners. Not to mention the pop corn and the self serve, soft serve ice cream.

If you told us we had to go to the Tamarijn and survive solely on per Tutti's pizzas, it would not be an issue. Their pizzas are delicious! My favorite is the one with all the veggies.
