Lima Bistro

Dining at Lima Bistro in Aruba was nothing short of extraordinary—easily the best meal we had on the island, and honestly one of the best dining experiences of my life. Had we come here our first day we wouldn't have went anywhere else. Every dish was crafted with remarkable intelligence and care. The ingredients were clearly of the highest quality—fresh, vibrant, and beautifully balanced. You could taste the thought that went into every element on the plate, from the way the flavors complemented each other to the precision in presentation. Nothing felt rushed or ordinary; it was as if every bite told a story of passion and dedication to food. The staff deserve just as much recognition. They were attentive without being intrusive, deeply knowledgeable about the menu, and clearly proud of what they were serving. Their recommendations were spot on, and the way they described each dish showed how much care and attention goes into the entire dining experience. It’s rare to find a place where ingredients, skill, and service come together so seamlessly. Lima Bistro is not just a meal—it’s an experience that stays with you. I would go back to Aruba just to eat here again.

One of the best meals we’ve had in a long time! Lima Bistro absolutely blew us away from start to finish. Every dish was outstanding — the Crudo was impossibly fresh and bright, the Lomo Saltado was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly, and the Mahi Mahi was tender and beautifully seasoned. The sauces that accompanied both the Lomo Saltado and Mahi Mahi were absolutely incredible — rich, balanced, and layered with flavor that tied everything together perfectly. To top it all off, we had the best French toast we’ve ever tasted for dessert, paired with vanilla ice cream — pure heaven. The atmosphere is cozy yet elevated, and the service was just as impressive as the food. While we might not make it back to Aruba anytime soon, going back for another dinner at Lima Bistro is easily the most tempting reason to return.

The hostess at the front was top notch her name however she was from the Philippines). She greeted me and my finance and made us feel welcomed to the restaurant. We then was served by our waitress (I had forgotten her name as well) and was again notch. The best food on the island. So much flavour and the food presentation brought each dish to life. I would honestly come back everyday if I could and looking to have a 2nd booking on the weekend. Thank you for the amazing food and service!

Lima Bistro is an amazing Peruvian Restaurant had given new meaning to the words. Our server Karen was amazing. She told us the specials on the menu. Can’t even get this in NYC restaurants. I don’t know if I can ever eat Peruvian food unless it’s made exactly the way they make it. They set the bar so high in service, deliciousness, and hospitality, its Michelin level!! I will be coming back.

If I could give this restaurant more than 5 stars I would. The service? Out of this world. The atmosphere and dinning is elegant and well worth it. There is a good reason this place is recommend on social media websites and it lives up to its name and beyond. Must try ! Try reserving for dinners to ensure a better experience

Lima Bistro is an excellent establishment with great food and ambiance. The menu items were great and the drinks were well made. The passionfruit sour drink was particularly tasty. Anticuchos and octopus were great. Crudo was good too. This was one of the top restaurants that we had visited Aruba during our visit. The service was friendly, courteous, and attentive. They do get busy, therefore I’d recommend making reservations if possible. Would definitely recommend.

This is definitely a great place. Service is fast and friendly. Drinks are a little pricey though well made mostly worth it. Ask for price of "special" drinks as my wife's was $22 and was good but made a little over priced. Everything dish we got was excellent. We did mostly appetizers which were all delicious and very flavorful. We had the scallops, the beef skews and the market ceviche. Desert was Carmel creme was good. Many main dishes I would love to try and may go back when more hungry. Even though this is near Cruise ship port it was very good.

Lima NEVER disappoints. From Cauliflower steak and lamb shanks to flank steak, everything was awesome. And don't forget about the desserts! The staff makes us feel special and like family every time we visit. Lima is my favorite restaurant on the island.
