Diana’s Pancakes

We love Aruba and just discovered Fred and Diana's last visit....we went for breakfast and came back a few days later for dinner. The breakfast is fabulous! Everyone loved their Dutch pancakes. When my husband saw beef wellington on the menu, he made reservations for that weekend. He said it was so good he'd come back again next year for it.

We loved it here! It was one of our best meals on the island (and we stayed for 10 days - so that's saying something!) We were there at 9am on Wednesday - and were one of two tables. Their portions are fantastic and they are prices are great too. My husband ordered the Picasso that came with a MOUNTAIN of fresh fruit, and I ordered the apple cinnamon one. They have all the fixin's on the table so you can add whatever else you want. Our server was excellent, and so kind giving us an introduction to the menu. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great breakfast!

A Must-Visit Gem in Aruba: King Fred and Princess Diana’s Restaurant Every time we visit Aruba, a stop at King Fred and Princess Diana's is a tradition we wouldn't dream of skipping. Nestled inside the iconic red windmill. Our absolute favorite dish is the Beef Wellington, a masterpiece that requires ordering at least a day in advance and serves 4 people. When it's just the two of us, we happily take leftovers to-go. Pairing the Beef Wellington with their famous Mustard Soup is a culinary experience that is simply unparalleled, this combo is hands-down my favorite meal on the island! The drinks are great too, mojitos rank as my personal favorite. Chef Fred is a true artist in the kitchen, crafting dishes with evident care and the freshest ingredients. The service team is equally exceptional, we have had Lucia many times—her warm and cheerful presence always adds to the dining experience. We also love heading upstairs to Drinks with Frans for a post-dinner drink, soaking in the unique experience at the top of the windmill and visiting with Frans. We even tried a special liquor from Holland. The breakfast is just as remarkable, with Diana’s Dutch Pancakes being a delightful way to start the day. This is a must-visit spot for anyone coming to Aruba. We always leave with full hearts and even fuller stomachs!

Best meal in Aruba. Mustard Soup Excellent, French Onion Best I’ve had in a long time, Schnitzel was great, Burgers great, Fish and Chips delicious, the Hachee was great, the Ice cream and Apple Pie outstanding. We took 2 families of 4 and both paid $125 before tip. It’s a bit isolated in location but it’s a must visit.

Hidden Gem! What a nice find as someone who has been to Aruba over 15 times! We came here with a large party and two small children for dinner and the restaurant was fantastic. It’s great to get Fred’s cooking from two fools and a bull in a more casual space. Food was delicious, homey, and authentic. The staff was welcoming and went above and beyond to be attentive. Pricing was very reasonable for the quality too! Can’t wait to try out their breakfast next time! Highly recommend.

This is a small place inside a windmill. The chef (King Fred) makes amazing food, everything our party had was great. Our orders were , Filet mignon with red wine sauce, drunken chicken, chicken cordon bleu, and fish stew. We also had mustard soup, French onion soup to start and crème brûlée and the French cheesecake for dessert. Every single thing was wonderful. In addition to that, the prices are much lower that other surrounding restaurants making this an amazing value.

Went here based on a recommendation and we were not disappointed! The Dutch pancakes were absolutely delicious and the Irish coffee was as good as getting one back in Boston. When it came time to leave they were nice enough to call a cab for us but when it didn't arrive after a long time the manager Lidia offered to have one of the employees give us a ride back to our hotel!! Al gave us a ride and was a great guy!! Thank you to Lidia and Al for being so awesome and we will definitely be back with no ride home expected ;)

This is a hidden gem at an incredible value! We had a spectacular meal at King Fred last night. The Indonesian Soto Soup comes with a spice to taste option on the side that is delicious. The foie gras ravioli appetizer is hand made on the premises and includes the perfect truffle flavor. My main course was a chicken en croute. The flavor and combination of textures is spectacular. No need for reservations. Simply walk in and receive the best meal on the island for an incredibly reasonable price. Family run and cooked to order on the premises. Drop by early for sunset at the top of the windmill bar or stay after for a romantic night cap. You will not be disappointed with your meal at King Fred.
