"Full flavor is on offer at this downtown open-air spot, helmed by a Dutch expat. You’ll find a host of local ingredients on the menu, many of which are plucked straight from the sea and cooked on the wood-fired grill. While unusual in the Caribbean, the restaurant also offers hearty vegetarian dishes, from fattoush (a flat bread topped with greens and tzatziki sauce) and quinoa-stuffed zucchini to vegetables in a spicy Creole sauce, as well as several gluten-free, vegan, and nut-free options. For dessert, get the delightful coconut mousse."

One of our favorite meals of the trip! Appetizers were fantastic and the mains were too! Perfect outdoor atmosphere and the service was fantastic, a little slow with the entrees coming out but didn’t ruin the experience. Would definitely recommend and make sure to get a reservation

The very last night we kept the best to try! The vegan bbq was amazing! It was a heavy dinner! The vegan truffle mac & cheese was amazing as a part of the platter!! The garlic bread, OMG!!! Soooo good, I ordered another, first one is on the house! The soup was amazing too! Check out their website to make reservations!

My wife and I ate at Yemanja on our last night in Aruba. The food and presentation were amazing! My wife had the French onion soup. We shared the lamb dumplings. I had the beef filet kabobs. I would absolutely eat there again. FYI, it is on the pricey side, but it was worth splurging. Unfortunately, my wife took the pictures of everything but the dessert, so that is the only picture I have to share. Also, make reservations if you can, tjis place is busy. Luckily, we were able to eat at the bar.

Solid choice for delicious food. You probably need a reservation though, unless you plan to sit at the bar. Everyone is quite pleasant and the initial bread with garlic butter is yummy. I got the unicorn fish and it was fresh and fantastic, my friend got the lamp chops which were flavored with cocoa and orange I believe, all really good and a great dinner

Wow...I'm not sure where to start. My wife and I love to eat and adventure with food. We are on our honeymoon in Aruba, and based on a combination of online and local recommendations we found ourselves at Yemanja. The place itself itself is quaint and has a relaxing atmosphere with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating. The service and food were on another level though! It was obvious that our server not only knew the food, but truly loved it and believed in the place. Every dish we tried was delightful and packed with flavor. I highly recommend the tuna tartare and the Blackened Triple Tail was the best piece of fish I have ever eaten. If you are a foodie in Aruba, make this place a top priority.

This was the highlight of our food stops in Aruba. We just happened to swing by here and they snuck us in which we are so grateful for. From our attentive server to the delicious drinks to the unbelievable meals - I can’t say enough about this place. My girlfriend said she can’t enjoy shrimp the same anymore after that shrimp tasting - it set the bar way too high! Thank you to you and your team for an unforgettable experience.

Incredible meal from start to finish. Went here tonight (Wednesday), had an amazing table on the patio under the lights with a nice breeze. Server was attentive, welcoming, and friendly. Octopus & chorizo app to start, with swordfish kabob and snapper entrees to split. Insanely good. We can’t stop raving about it, by far our favorite meal on the island so far!!!

Yemanja was an amazing restaurants. From the beginning till the end the service was subliminal. The food was super delicious. The Thai Curry Pumpkin soup was superb, the spicy kick and the crunchyness of nuts amazing. The cocktail was refreshing. The main courses the meats were soft and side dishes were great.
