Aruba's most atmospheric restaurant occupies a century-old manor filled with antiques from Europe, with tables in elegant rooms and surrounding a large courtyard pool. A go-to for locals celebrating special occasions, it has a vast international menu inspired by Caribbean flavors. Favorites include stone-cooked specials such as wahoo and rock lobster, coconut-curry shrimp, and Aruban specialty keshi yena (cheese casserole).
The keshi yena is prepared according to an old family recipe, with minced tenderloin and chicken stewed with raisins, olives and cashews, and flame-broiled with Dutch cheese. Pair it with the cocktail of the day. Reservations recommended.
