Taste My Aruba - Review - Oranjestad - Aruba - The Infatuation

"Taste My Aruba is a charming, family-operated seafood restaurant housed in what was once one of the oldest department stores in downtown Oranjestad. They specialize in using as many locally sourced ingredients as possible, including fresh fish like barracuda and grouper. Don’t miss the perfectly balanced ceviche and the catch of the day, served Aruban-style with a side of plantains, beans, and stewed creole tomatoes—fingers crossed it’s amberjack. The best tables are in their open-air courtyard, where you can cozy up under the twinkling lights with a date and enjoy Aruba’s almost always superb weather. The cocktails are fantastic, like the spicy margarita with passionfruit and pink peppercorn, and the Lorenzo with housemade hibiscus syrup and chamoy, and may inspire you to take one of their mixology classes." - Jacqueline Dole

10 Foods to Eat in Aruba and Where to Try Them - AFAR

"At Taste My Aruba, convivial owner Nathaly de Mey shares the flavors of fresh fish she remembers from her childhood on the island. Using her own fleet of Aruban fishermen, she serves only what’s fresh that morning, whether that’s red snapper, wahoo, mahi mahi, yellowfin tuna, grouper, or even lobster." - Susan Campbell

We tried Taste My Aruba for the first time last night. We experienced fabulous service & delicious food. We ordered three different dishes, but our favorite was the Lobster Pasta. We also enjoyed a slice of carrot cake to finish our meal. Before leaving, we made reservations to come the last night of our trip because this was our favorite restaurant on our trip! I would highly recommend making a reservation!

What an amazing find for our last night in Aruba. The service was amazing Glen was attentive and accommodating, the chef was one of the best I’ve ever seen. The restaurant was absolutely beautiful. The food was 10 out of 10. We had a group of 10 and every single meal was amazing.

Incredible place in the heart of Oranjestad! Elevated local cuisine served in a beautiful traditional house with an even more beautiful garden where they grow their own herbs they use in drinks. Fantastic staff and an overall incredible experience. A must go during every visit to Aruba.

Food was great. I had the Red Snapper Filet. Calm & relaxing atmosphere and to top it all off our waiter Mr. Glenn Kelly was just over the top amazing! We'll return here when we come back to Aruba for sure.

My sister-n-law called and reserved a table for 10. We arrived and saw through the opened doors a beautiful space with a table set for 10, above it a beautiful chandelier and ceiling fan, and Latin music playing at just the right volume to enjoy it without it interfering with conversation. Glen kept our water glasses full and the drinks (alcoholic) flowing. The food, all 10 dishes, (cooked by ONE chef) was served at the same time, hot and exactly how we ordered it. We gave the chef and staff a standing ovation!!!!!! They were so appreciative. Don’t visit Oranjestad without visiting this gem!!!

Venue was quaint. Lovely outdoor seating area. Good drinks. Fresh fish. Restaurant claims to be farm to table. However, vegetables clearly were not from a farm or even fresh from the supermarket. The mixed vegetables were frozen. This missed the mark for me. Service was good, not rushed. Not a great dessert selection. Overall, glad we tried it. Won't rush back.

Taste my Aruba is a gorgeous eatery with a beautiful atmosphere and friendly employees. We did a mixology course and had such a great time learning, getting to know the people around us, and enjoying our own cocktails. The pasta is incredible. 10/10 recommend everything here.
