About this place

Chalet Suisse Aruba is an international restaurant at J.E. Irausquin Boulevard 246 in the Eagle Beach Low-Rise Hotel area. The restaurant has been operating since 1988, and the Aruba Tourism Authority describes its building as a chalet modeled on traditional Swiss wooden houses. Its Eagle Beach location places it within Aruba’s established low-rise hotel district.

The menu covers a broad selection of international dishes. Official menu pages list seafood, meat and vegetarian entrées alongside appetizers and desserts. Meat selections include U.S. prime cuts such as New York sirloin, filet mignon and porterhouse, while other menu choices include seafood dishes. Swiss influence can also be found in Züricher Geschnetzeltes, which the restaurant identifies as a typical Swiss dish, and Swiss chocolate fondue served with fruit and cake.

Chalet Suisse also maintains a wine cellar with international wines and Champagnes. According to the restaurant, Austrian Hafner wine is offered as its house wine. Families can find a dedicated kids menu, while guests arranging celebrations or business gatherings can inquire about the restaurant’s different dining spaces. The official website identifies a Main Dining Room, Chalet Room and Tiffany Room, with the latter two available for certain private events.
