The Old Man and the Sea

Perched right on the beach, this seafood restaurant, named after Ernest Hemingway's most acclaimed novel The Old Man and the Sea, is one of Aruba's most atmospheric oceanside spots. With new chef Christian and his culinary team, not only the setting, but also the food is a draw. Start with a Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail for two or a tasty pumpkin soup before enjoying sophisticated seafood dishes such as the beautifully presented Caribbean Lobster Thermidor. Or try the Fresh Catch of the Day served with a rich papaya sauce. Landlubbers can enjoy a Filet Mignon with mustard sauce and skillfully prepared sweet potatoes. So long as you've gone this far, you may as well finish off your meal with the popular Banana Foster or an Apple Tart.
