About this place

Royal Chef’s Table Restaurant Aruba is an intimate chef’s-table restaurant at Wilhelminastraat 18 in Oranjestad. The current format accommodates a maximum of 19 guests, seated together around a U-shaped high-top bar. Guests must be 18 years or older, and the restaurant describes the atmosphere as fine dining presented in a relaxed and casual setting.

Each evening begins promptly at 7:00 PM on the rooftop terrace with a glass of bubbles. Dinner then follows a five-course chef’s menu and lasts approximately three and a half hours, concluding around 10:30 PM. Between courses, guests have opportunities to move around and interact with other diners.

The fixed dinner price is currently US$130 per person, including the arrival glass of bubbles. An optional wine pairing is available, although the restaurant does not publish a fixed pairing price because its wines change with the menu approximately every eight to ten weeks. A full bar with mixed drinks and alcohol-free options is also available. Due to the restaurant’s cooking methods, vegetarian and vegan dishes cannot currently be accommodated.
