City Garden Bistro de Suikertuin

Grabbed brunch here on my last day in Aruba. Food was delicious, highlights including the fish and chips and the beef carpaccio. The service was top notch and reasonably timed. Enjoyed the pastry included with my espresso. They have a unlimited mimosa option if you would like that is reasonably priced. Would be excellent for larger groups in their back patio. Tons of flies back there, however, they should think about a citronella candle or something, they did however offer bug spray, which we were appreciative of! Definitely would recommend a stop on your trip to support local business

While walking through Downtown Oranjestad, my wife and I were told that this place had the best Apple Pie. My wife and I decided to go here for dinner that evening. The restaurant has a very cozy Dutch vibe, it really transports you there! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful while looking over the menu. My wife and I enjoyed our fish and Chicken entrees that we ordered. The food was seasoned and cooked extremely well. Now for the part that you're waiting for, the Dutch Apple Pie was excellent! We've never had an "authentic" Dutch pie. In the US our apple pies are "wet" and I didn't think there was another way to make Apple pie 😂. Well this apple pie did not have much moisture but was still extremely flavorful, had great texture, and created a wonderful experience in the mouth. We had a really good time at this restaurant, we highly recommend it! Especially if you like a good apple pie for dessert.

My friend and I were visiting the port from our cruise. She's vegetarian so we were trying to find a good place and this place is definitely it! The atmosphere out in the garden is great and the food was delicious. Plus you can ask the chef to make any dish vegetarian or vegan. Would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful dining experience at City Garden Bistro de Suikertuin, where authentic Dutch cuisine meets a relaxed, earthy ambiance. The setting felt like a hidden garden oasis—peaceful, green, and full of charm. It was the perfect backdrop for a slow, thoughtful meal. The food was exceptional, clearly prepared with clean, high-quality ingredients that let the flavors shine. One standout dish was the quinoa smoked salmon appetizer—beautifully balanced, fresh, and full of texture. Each bite was a perfect introduction to the thoughtful menu. Cocktails were another highlight—creative, well-crafted, and perfectly paired with the food. The drink menu showed the same care and quality as the food. Overall, City Garden Bistro de Suikertuin delivered on authenticity, atmosphere, and taste. Highly recommended if you're looking for a calm, delicious escape into Dutch culinary tradition.

We have eaten at Bistro de Suikertuin many times and always had a great experience. Wonderful service and food. We recently had them cater a birthday party at our house, buffet style. The food was fantastic and plenty to eat at a very fair price and delivered exactly on time. Our guests loved it and kept asking where the food came from. Please keep them in mind for group entertaining of any size. Kim was so friendly and easy to work with!

Had a great dinner here our second night on the island. Please avoid all the hotel owned restaurants by the renaissance and venture into the city a bit! It’s a beautiful walk here and you’ll be greeted by great service and amazing food. Their patio dining space shields you from the wind and makes for a great backdrop to dinner. Friendly waitstaff and chef who came out to personally check on the tables.

Lovely staff very friendly and attentive, beautiful atmosphere with soft relaxing music and Delicious food. The food was not only amazing but was a work of art. We will definitely be back.

Great little spot hidden in Oranjestad! Food is so fresh and the service is amazing. Dutch owned so you get a taste of authentic cooking! Definitely recommend and will be back soon!
