About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for scenic views
  • Lively
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?

    My party thoroughly enjoyed Pelican! The ceviche is a must. So delicious with a beautiful presentation. All of us had a fish entree and they were delicious. Our server was awesome and I would highly recommend it.

    Table was great near the water. Food was good but I had to use a knife to cut through the crust on my fish. Servers were very nice.

    We had a lovely table for 2 on the water. Waitstaff was attentive and the service was perfect. The grouper appetizer is the best. Also enjoyed shrimp tacos. Good wine selection, but the mixed drinks are a bit weak/small (so you may want to have a drink before you come). This is one of our favorite spots, and if you’re lucky you get a sunset! We will be back, for sure!
