Quinta del Carmen

It was really easy to get a reservation unlike other places. Location has a nice ambiance & different seated areas. Easy to park and well located off of the craziness of the main city. Service was nice. Friendly staff. Food was good. Well presented. Riched flavors with a home style feel to it. Over all a good experience and will def recommend.

What a great find! Located a mile or so from the beach in Nord, this splendid restaurant offers a wonderful menu. It's service was warm, welcoming and efficient and the delightful atmosphere was provided by a 110 year old home and its surrounding gardens. We throughly enjoyed our dinner there and look forward to going back there on our next visit to Aruba.

We went for appetizer, main course, and dessert! All three tasted phenomenally. We came during off-season (October) so had no issues walking without a reservation. The place itself was gorgeous and very well decorated. The staff were very attentive and service was impeccable. Definitely on the pricier side, but that's what you expect from most restaurants on the island and the food was well worth it.

Booked a last minute reservation and went in the evening. The restaurant vibe is great, I loved the historical home aspect of the space. The drinks and appetizer were great! The food was decent, not the best I had on the island but I would recommend this for the not as adventurous eaters visiting the island.

The place is nice for a romantic dinner or family dinner but I do feel it’s overrated especially when you look at the prices. We paid $350 for four people and found the food was ‘okay’. We had the cheese croquettes and the carpaccio as a starter which were honestly good! For the mains we had teryaki mushrooms, ribeye steak, shrimp scampi and the shrimp piña colada. There was too much gravy for the ribeye which made it too intense, the shrimp pasta was okay but something you can make yourself at home. The shrimp piña colada was allright but the sauce kind of lacked taste and the mushroom dish was a very simple dish that you can also easily make yourself. And for the price you pay you would expect better plating… The desserts were all delicious, and the cocktails were super yummy. If you do go here, go for a lychee martini. The staff was super kind and really checked in with you which was great. Just wished the mains were more promising!

We decided to try the Tapas portion of the restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised by the food. We tried at least 3/4 of the entire tapas menu and most of it was pretty good (pork belly, summer salad) A few things were just mediocre, and a few weren’t great (calamari was a bit tough etc) (none of the desserts great, most were just mediocre). We would definitely eat here again!

This is place is amazing! We loved the food here got the crispy shrimp & Sucade Lappen (Draadjesvlees) dish. Both were great we shared the dishes my wife & I. She got a berry fiz mocktail to drink & I got a Roy Rodgers both very good as well! The food was delicious probably one of the best food stops on our trip to Aruba! The dessert was awesome Stroopwafel Parfait! 10/10 recommend the dessert it was phenomenal!

One of our most memorable meals in Aruba! The backyard is incredibly quaint and beautiful. The service was responsive and friendly. Appetizers were small, but absolutely worth it. We tried the croquettes and calamari. I had the Brie topped grouper as my main dish, which was a fantastic pairing I never considered. Others in the group had steaks cooked to perfection. Would put this place as a must for a nice family meal during your trip to Aruba.
