CAYA House Aruba

Our experience at CAYA was by far the best restaurant experience we had in Aruba. The setting is lovely, regardless of where you are sitting. Our server, Kimberly, was a real pro. She was personable, knew each dish intimately, and gave great suggestions along the way. The food was presented beautifully and each bite was amazing. The dishes were so interesting that we had to ask about the seasonings. We loved the simple pricing model as it took price out of the equation. At the same time the prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food. We can’t recommend CAYA enough!

40 US dollars plus 15% service fee for a main dish. I recently dined at this restaurant and, overall, had a positive experience with a few notable caveats. The food is genuinely good, with well-executed dishes and fresh ingredients that make each plate memorable. The service stood out as especially attentive. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and quick to respond to requests. However, the restaurant is undeniably expensive. While the quality of food and service is high, the prices are steep—even for a special occasion. If you’re looking for value for money, you may find the cost hard to justify for a regular night out. **Menu Currency Transparency** One important point for future diners: the menu prices are listed in US dollars, not in Aruba florins. Unfortunately, this is not clearly stated anywhere on the menu or by the staff, which could easily lead to confusion for those expecting local currency. This lack of transparency is disappointing, especially given the already high prices. In short, expect excellent food and attentive service, but be prepared for a hefty bill. If you decide to visit, make sure you’re aware that the prices are in US dollars to avoid any surprises when the check arrives.

Beautifully designed space with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food was delicately prepared - each plate felt like a work of art. Every dish we had tasted amazing! Service was attentive and friendly throughout.

If you're visiting Aruba and looking for a truly memorable dining experience, CAYA House is an absolute must. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted with warm hospitality and a stunning, open-air ambiance that blends modern elegance with island charm. The menu is a thoughtful fusion of Caribbean flavors and global inspiration, showcasing locally sourced ingredients and inventive culinary techniques. Every dish we tried—from the beautifully presented appetizers to the perfectly cooked mains—was bursting with flavor and creativity. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

THIS IS THE BEST RESTAURANT IN ARUBA! We came here on our last day , but if I would discover it sooner I would end up coming here every night. Everything is excellent starting from service and ending with dessert. We wanted to be inside with ac , they didn’t have table but told us to wait at the bar and within couple minutes set up a table just for us! Incredible! All the food was so unique and delicious, I can’t even describe. And I’m very hard to please. In the end all the stuff sang happy birthday and it was really sweet!

This place deserves all the stars and great reviews because it's a rarity to find food that's this incredible! I'm a big foodie/cook/restaurant lover and this has to be one of top 3 places I've eaten based on creativity and flavor. The ceviche is a MUST, my husband and I were blown away by it. You can get an app, entree and dessert for $55 a person which is SO affordable for the quality and the portion size. We boxed a lot up, made breakfast with it then had the rest for dinner the next day. The tres leches cake is so delicious, it's worth it, just get it! Great ambiance, great service, beautiful outdoor dining. Our server was very kind and attentive. We will absolutely visit again. This place is a gem, you won't be disappointed!

Had a terrific dinner here. Would strongly recommend to anyone visiting the island. Great food; well priced tasting special (any app, any entree, any dessert for $70). All stars of the night were the tostones, lamb shank, and tres leches, all pictured below. Thanks to Arleigh, our server. Great service and recommendations.

beautiful restaurant with friendly service. we did the prefix which allowed for a choice of each course. overall the food was good with the desserts a bit sweet. the gluten free bread that comes with the meal was surprisingly good and the scallop ceviche is a must try. I thought my corvina fish was cooked perfectly but the rice that comes with it was too salty.
