| Aruba has a variety of native dishes that
visitors must try. Here's a brief translation of some typical menu items:
ayacas--leaf-wrapped meat rolls cala--bean fritter funchi--like cornmeal pudding served
with fish Java honde portie--rice, beef, vegetables and fried eggs covered with curry
keshi yena--Edam cheese stuffed with a mixture of beef or chicken cooked with tomatoes,
onions, olives, pickles and raisins pastechi--a meat-stuffed turnover rijsttafel--shrimp,
meat, vegetables and fruit piled on a bed of rice stoba--a beef, lamb, or goat stew sopito
de pisca--a fish chowder with onions, tomatoes, garlic, peppers, and a variety of spices. If these dishes don't appeal to you, there are plenty of other restaurants on Aruba that will have what you are craving. For international and local meals, try the Old Cunucu house which provides live entertainment on the weekends. Or enjoy a cozy atmosphere where diners feast upon local cuisine on a garden patio at the Papiament International Cuisine & Grill. If you are a steak lover and are looking for a unique dining experience, you must try Le Petit Cafe. It specializes in preparing steaks on hot stones at your table. While you are so close to the sea, fresh seafood is a must.
