Yemanja Woodfired Grill

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!

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.

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.

Came here on a Monday night on a whim (recommend reservation) and luckily there was a cancellation. The service was top notch and I knew from the start I was going to be impressed. The food and timing was perfect and I’d say it’s by far the best (or one of) restaurant on the island. Attention to detail was remarkable and I wish I could franchise this in the US. Perfect for a dinner date or family and friends, the quiet atmosphere with jazzy background music was a perfect vibe. Could not have done it better myself.

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!!!

THE SERVICE: Hostess greeted us with a warm smile and friendly disposition. We were promptly escorted inside for our dinner reservation. The waitress and waiter were very knowledgeable about the menu and professional. We received timely service and check-ins once our food arrived. THE FOOD: We ordered the Caribbean whole Snapper prepared deboned and headless. The fish was fresh and lightly seasoned. The sauce made for the perfect pairing elevating the overall taste of the dish. The Snapper and side items were plated in layers making it visually appealing, but not necessarily practical. Nonetheless, the overall meal tasted good and was satiating. THE ATMOSPHERE: Welcoming and aesthetically pleasing with lovely photo opportunities. Easily conversed as we weren’t competing with loud music. THE VALUE: Menu prices are available online to determine if this restaurant is within your budget. From my experience, prices aligned with the quality of food, service, and atmosphere. Note: The restaurant will assist with calling a cab, but due to the location anticipate waiting. We unknowingly dined the same night as a major event downtown and it took well over an hour to return to the resort.
