Fine dining in an elegant casual atmosphere. Where your flops. Tenderloin steak cooked perfectly to order on a bed of vegetables with a taste of mashed potato. Views of the sunset were beautiful. People dining on the beach with local kids jumping into the waterfront from the dock and planes coming in low made for interesting viewing.

Good dishes and services, like the high level restaurants, but the different, and you pay it, is the ambience: half restaurant is on the sandy beach of Oranijestad. It's better the reservation, above all if you like diner on the sand.

We had a wonderful dinner here in May, sitting by one of the beach tables at sunset with views of the bay. The food was very good, and the service friendly and attentive. The restaurant has a great location and can be highly recommended for special occasions!

By far the absolute best dinner we had while in Aruba. Of course the atmosphere was beautiful, the service was very good, but the food was delicious! We had the escargots & mushrooms and the scallops for appetizers, fantastic. For our main course we had the Romance of the Sea and a dish with grouper and shrimp, they were both... More

After dining at Barefoot earlier on our honeymoon we were impressed enough to chose it as our place to eat on our final night if Honeymoon in Aruba. It did not disappoint. On both occasions we were blown away but the quality of service & food. Tonight we went for a bottle of wine, starters each, mains each & a... More

We try to find a new restaurant (for us) each trip to Aruba and we were very satisfied with Barefoot. Located at the site of Mirandi we ate on their beach and I noticed most people had removed their shoes/sandals and were barefoot in the sand! Excellent fish selections and a most enjoyable waiter from Holland who discussed her educational... More

Excellent. service. Very nice spot and overall very enjoyable. They were missing a few items at 8pm and their "best" pinot noir was not that great. That said, all the food we had was simply excellent.....well prepared and presented.

Barefoot was high on our list of places to try when we were planning our honeymoon to Aruba. I'm so pleased we dined here because everything from the service to the setting is high quality & the food is superb. With it's beachfront setting (tables in the sand or on a raised deck overlooking the beach) it's a perfect setting... More

We heard people around the pool speaking about a great restaurant called "Barefoot" , so we decided to give it a try. The restaurant is near the airport runway, so you hear planes getting ready to takeoff but don't see them. You can however, see the planes land, which I thought was cool. We choose to have a table on... More
