About the restaurant
With Infini meaning “Limitless Possibilities”, Chef Urvin Croes wants to offer dishes made without boundaries, exploring new possibilities and stepping with two feet outside the box. A chef’s table concept where diners and staff are able to interact throughout the evening, channeling through a story guided by the menu.

Urvin has worked in different roles starting as an apprentice cook and ending as a Chef de Partie and Sous-Chef for the highest-rated hotel restaurants on the island of Aruba. He gained experience in Europe working with 1-Michelin star rated “Grand Hotel Karel V”.

He enjoys buying many of his ingredients from local farmers. It is a combination of all the aforementioned, which is reflected in the dishes created at Chef Urvin his restaurants. He has many accomplishments, which aside from his culinary degrees also include several medals and he is locally famous for being the first winner of ‘Iron Chef Aruba’.

Grant us the honor of fulfilling your culinary desires.

About the restaurant
On October 4th, 2022 the Dutch red windmill opened her doors to Fred & Diana.

Diana is known for Diana's Pancakes, across Barcelo and before that, she was the owner of a similar pancake place next to the mill.

Fred is known for his former restaurants Chef's Tables, 2 Fools and a Bull and Fred Restaurant in downtown Oranjestad.

The two decided to work together and King Fred & Princess Diana was born. Diana delights guests with Dutch pancakes in the morning, while Fred takes the reins in the evening, serving a diverse range of international cuisine for dinner.

On the second floor you will find our souvenir shop that can be visited anytime upon request.

The third floor belongs to Frans, who is a well known bartender in the Aruban hospitality industry. He will serve you cold drinks for a reasonable price.

We've dined at Lima Bistro multiple times while visiting Aruba. The food is creative, presenter artful, and tastes great 👍 Service is attentive and timely, with all dishes set to the table in a good rhythm. While the meal moved along quickly, we never felt rushed. While we occasionally struggled to hear our server in the lively environment, the staff is happy to provide an overview of dishes, address dietary needs, and whatever else you may need. Big props to the staff!

Shout out to Adriana for the wonderful service, along with the hostess. Food was great. I had the mushroom burger and my other half had the fish and chips. Fries and o-rings were delicious as well.

On our last night of staying in Aruba, we decided to try this place… we loved it! When we arrived, we were placed by an outdoor table, probably because they had live singer performing, but asked to be seated inside. This restaurant is on the intimate side and most of the seating for dinner is outside in front of the hotel which is by the parking lot. For us, inside was perfect—Quiet & relaxed. We could still hear the singer. The two drinks I got were well crafted. The food was really good and so far it’s been the highest quality of dining that we’ve had on the island. We tried their escargot, onion soup, porcini risotto, linguine pasta with shrimp and lobster, and tiramisu all of which were great. Big shoutout to Andres who tended to us frequently and gave great food and drink recommendations. And to the owner who went to each table and spoke to everyone who dined that evening. Overall we were very pleased with the meal and service. We will definitely come back.

About the restaurant
The Pelican Nest Seafood Grill, opened its doors in 1994 and has been a favorite place for locals and tourists alike ever since.

Aruba’s favorite restaurant completely above the water offers many unique attributes; the spectacular view at any time of the day and especially during sunsets, the wide array of fresh seafood, a relaxing atmosphere, exclusive seating for dinner and the option while dining to feed the fish. Our Peruvian chef makes a famous and delicious fish ceviche.

The Caribbean, easy going yet professional atmosphere, the choice of fresh items on the menu, a courteous and friendly staff, the ever lasting sense of well-being and complete relaxation and enjoyment, what more could one require?

About the restaurant
Outdoor charcoal grill specializing in seafood and steak!

For dinner, Las Ramblas is one of the island’s most romantic escapes and a great find for foodies, too. Dine outside to the sound of the surf and soft live music while surrounded with the gentle glow of tiki-torches .

This cozy restaurant offers romantic and unique dining experience overlooking Eagle Beach and the most beautiful sunsets on Aruba.
