An intimate local family ran restaurant in the heart of Oranjestad, fresh world-class seafood, prime steaks,
and unparalleled service in a vibrant, up-scale setting.

Opus experience wouldn't be possible without our local farmers and fisherman’s. Produce delivered daily keeps our menu fresh and connected to the land and ocean. A taste of Aruba infused with a Mediterranean culture in every bite. Depending what ingredients the ocean provides us, our chefs will create flavors inspired by our culture. Fresh fish brought directly to the restaurant where it is served whole or filleted and served within 24 hours. Wide variety of local fish for our guest to choose

    This was our first time at Opus and unfortunately, we were disappointed. We’ve dined at the finest restaurants in Aruba but Opus falls short. The garlic bread was boring, as was the broccolini appetizer I ordered. My husband’s octopus was over cooked and dry and his black cod was nothing special. I felt the same way about my grouper entree. The staff however was delightful, from the hostess, to our waiter.

    Bryan was our waiter. He was amazing! The food was so awesome and the staff service altogether was top notch. We will definitely be back next year and might even go twice. Can't say enough good things about opus!

    Soent 30 minutes waiting for someone to take our order and then another hour for our food to come to our table. Our waiter was also the host and spent most of his time with another table that had 6 patrons. Food was good when it came out, but not worth the wait.

    After a mediocre expensive dinner elsewhere, we were thrilled to have discovered Opus & only wish we'd known about it in past years!!The presentation, the generous portions, the flavors, the personable wait staff, the willingness to accommodate changes, the ambience and the reasonable costs: everything was wonderful. Our lamb chops, chicken parmigiana, and uni linguini were all excellent. For nearly 1/2 the charge for a gin & tonic elsewhere, my husband's drink was perfect. Highly recommend all vacationers add Opus to their dining options- we absolutely will for 2026!!

    The service was excellent. We enjoyed the food, but the portions are small. Bring your wallet as the prices are not cheap. One oyster is $7 for example.
