This also is a don't miss restaurant in Aruba. Some of the dishes are served on hot stones that keeps cooking even after delivered to the table. Food was excellent and believe the waiter when he says it is spicy sauce. He is not kidding. more

This is a busy, fun restaurant with local Aruban food. Not incredible, but an enjoyable spot. more

The setting for Papiamento is very pretty and tropical. We sat at a table around the pool and it was very romantic. The food was delicious and you get a good amount. The seafood came out on a hot stone which made us both very hot since the steam was coming off it! But it was worth it! Don't forget... more

Absolutely loved it. Great place for romantic dinner. In the middle of nowhere (some 10 minutes by taxi from High Rise district, actually), but totally worth the trip.

I thought the concept of having your food cooked on the stones was rather unique and a nice idea. I had the Madame Butterfly and my wife had the Neptune and neither of us was disappointed. They had... more

We made our reservation at Papiamento with high hopes. The online reviews are generally outstanding and the concierge highly recommended the restaurant. Upon our arrival, we were amazed by the setting. Though there is indoor seating as well, the main dining area is on an outdoor patio highlighted by a pool in the middle and a magnificent tree that provides... more

We had a wonderful experience at Papiamento's. It certainly lives up to the hype. The restaruant was beautiful with tables in the court yard of a 150 year old home under ancient trees. The food was excellent. We had the mixed grill (chicken, steak and shrimp with grilled vegetables) and a house specality appetizer with shreaded beef, chicken raisens and... more
