Dinner at Wilhelmina in Oranjestad
Named after Queen Wilhelmina, Wilhelmina is an international restaurant in Oranjestad, Aruba, with seafood and steak on the menu. Chef Dennis van Daatselaar runs it. The restaurant overlooks B.J. Arends City Park, and its outdoor speakeasy-style city garden sets the tone. The Table Desk can book your table.
The outdoor garden has a speakeasy-style feel, right in the city. From there, the restaurant overlooks B.J. Arends City Park. The name honors Queen Wilhelmina.
Chef Dennis van Daatselaar's menu moves between seafood, steak and international plates. Ravioli comes filled with short rib and foie gras, and mushroom risotto is finished with black truffle. Aruban fish cakes are made with lobster. Braised beef short ribs and a New Zealand rack of lamb cover the meat side, and homemade pasta arrives with garlic shrimp.
The Table Desk by All Tours Aruba is an independent reservation service, not the restaurant. For parties of 7 or more, Wilhelmina asks for a deposit. The restaurant arranges it with you directly; we never take card details for a restaurant.
