Yemanja Woodfired Grill in Downtown Oranjestad
A wood fire drives the international and Caribbean menu at Yemanja Woodfired Grill in Oranjestad. It occupies a historic downtown building and has operated since 2007. Chef Joyce de Cuba Husken leads the kitchen. The Table Desk can reserve your table and confirm it by email.
The wood fire shapes the menu. A whole Caribbean snapper comes straight from it, and a grilled swordfish and shrimp skewer shares the seafood side with Mediterranean branzino. The restaurant has operated since 2007 in a historic downtown building, so it is a long-standing name in Oranjestad.
Meat dishes include a miso-glazed short rib and a wood-grilled hanger steak. Gluten-free and vegan options are offered, which helps when a table has mixed diets. Note any dietary needs when you book.
Send your date, preferred time, optional backup time and party size. You pay a flat service fee online, and the meal is paid at the restaurant. If neither time can be booked, the fee is refunded in full.
