The delight of a different ambiance offered with each dining experience is an additional pleasure to be found in Aruba. International menus include Indonesian, Japanese, Chinese, Dutch, Italian, French and Cantonese cuisine. For those who have families and need to have the kids feel as if they’re at home with the foods they're used to, all of the popular fast-food chains are in Aruba, including Taco Bell, Subway, Wendy’s, Tony Romas and McDonalds.

Local Aruban establishments are plentiful and many feature seafood, fresh from our Caribbean waters. If you're a deep sea fisherman, some restaurants will cook and serve your catch of the day. Take a trip to the town of San Nicolas where you'll find Charlie's Bar serving the island's greatest prawns in a decor made from articles recovered from sunken wrecks (Click here for a VR Photo). One good place to get a sampling of local temptations is at the Bonbini Festival which takes place every Tuesday night at Fort Zoutman.

A sunset cruise in Aruba can also include dining. Ships such as the Tattoo, The Balia, and The Jolly Pirates will guide you to a delightful cove to drop the anchor for dancing, a moonlit dip, and dinner.
