Aruba Dining Suggestions
Food scene
In downtown Oranjestad a new innovative restaurant owned by a former Marriott chef from Peru. The quality of food is in my opinion the best in Aruba. Very creative blend of local ingredients with a n innovative flair. A reservation is recommended, inside and outdoor seating specify your preference when booking, if Chef Teddy visits your table as he ofter does to every table, tell him you are guests of the kiteeatdrinktravel couple.

Luca Restaurant Casual
Another close option in Palm Beach, a new modern Italian “trattoria” in our opinion the best pizza on the island made in the Neopolitian style in a wood-fired oven. We had the Italosa pizza mushrooms with truffle and straciatella delicious, the pastas look equally as good. Open air dining in a casual setting.

Made fresh daily, simply the best gelato on the island for that matter even rivals any gelato I have had in Italy!

Beach Bars:
MooMba Beach Bar & Restaurant
Located between the Marriott Surf Club and The Holiday Inn, undoubtably the islands most legendary beach bar, MooMba Beach Bar morphs into many different incarnations depending on the time of day and the day of the week. In the mornings, the restaurant side offers up excellent, reasonably-priced buffet breakfasts with incredible views.
Daytime, the bar area is always buzzing with tourists hopping to and from the many snorkel trips that take off from the pier directly in front. And you’ll find always find a gang recapping the day’s adventures at Happy Hour, enjoying great pub fare, and taking advantage of the outdoor bucket shower to rinse off the saltwater.
Later, the vibe shifts to hip music, and on Sunday nights it becomes the island’s biggest local
beach blow-out spot. Friday and Sunday BBQ’s are also a big draw.
Insider’s Tip: Sunday nights are popular and draw a young crowd of locals. Although the barkeeps at MooMba are masters, it can take a while to get a drink when the crowd is three-deep to the pine.
