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?

    The food, atmosphere, service and the view was amazing!! Our waitress Michelle was very attentive and Gilbert the supervisor was friendly. We were celebrating our anniversary there and they gave us a glass of champagne to celebrate. We will definitely return on our next trip to the island.

    Incredible view, they gave us the best seat in the house for our anniversary. Duber was very kind and attentive, and the fish(snapper/grouper) was amazing.

    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.
