Taste My Aruba, Local Cooking in Downtown Oranjestad
Family owned and set in downtown Oranjestad, Taste My Aruba cooks seafood and Caribbean dishes from a menu that changes daily, with a farm- and sea-to-table approach. It recently moved a short walk away, into a restored house from 1936. You can reserve a table through The Table Desk, which confirms every booking in writing.
Because the menu changes daily, there is no fixed list of dishes to quote here. What stays the same is the focus on seafood and Caribbean cooking, with a farm- and sea-to-table approach. Ask about the day's dishes when you sit down, since they change each day.
The restaurant recently moved a short walk away within downtown Oranjestad and now serves dinner in a restored house from 1936, with a rooftop lounge for sunset cocktails. Mesa Secreta is a single table for eight, and larger groups can book the full experience privately.
Send your date, preferred time and party size, plus a backup time if you have one. The flat service fee is paid online. The meal is paid at the restaurant, and the restaurant's own cancellation policy is separate from ours. If neither time can be booked, the full fee is refunded.
