Top 5 Palm Beach-Eagle Beach Eats: Food & Drink Review

Palm Beach and Eagle Beach in Aruba are, like, stunning stretches of sand, yet that is pretty obvious. That they’re also, apparently, packed with a bunch of really nice places to eat is, in some respects, what you’d expect from top travel spots. So, really, you need some, just a little, help in, I mean, figuring out where to spend your vacation calories. Don’t worry too much. This review rounds up, like, my personal top five food and drink spots that I checked out, or that maybe even checked me out. Each place is awesome in a special way, and, really, caters to different tastes and moods.

1. Screaming Eagle: French Elegance with a Beachy Vibe

Screaming Eagle is, well, super special, so I have to put it first. Very romantic in a way, and is that just what you could be looking for on your, like your, vacation? This place, like, blends French cooking know-how with the chill, and yet super romantic, feel of Aruba. Too it’s almost that they set up cool lounge beds, too, so you could, possibly, eat your, like your, meal right under the stars. Pretty incredible. The meals are very well presented, and the tastes, more or less, are complex but in a nice way, but, really, not stuck up at all.

Whether you’re celebrating something pretty meaningful or you just want, well, to eat something that you are going to post on your Instagram, Screaming Eagle actually makes every meal quite a thing. Very picture worthy. The service is on point, and that tends to be why, yet, people rave about it like your, fancy, family members rave about some, some new wine they just got. Also, as a matter of fact, make certain you try their mixed drinks. I could be wrong, yet the mixologists really seem, alright, to get the vibe of Aruba down to a science.

2. Passions on the Beach: Toes-in-the-Sand Dining

If you picture having supper right on the beach as, maybe, the sort of perfect vacation thing, Passions on the Beach will make that dream become real. Usually the tables get set up right on Eagle Beach, and there’s almost nothing that beats the scene of the sun going to sleep while you munch on some seriously, totally awesome seafood. The setting is fairly peaceful, usually making it extra nice for couples, and, frankly, people who actually just want to hear the sea while they eat.

The food’s very Aruban with a twist, usually including, I guess, fresh stuff caught right there. The setup is more or less romantic, so that it makes a real difference, honestly. The light of the lanterns, the water kinda making music – it is, just a bit, unforgettable. Do make sure to get there, obviously, right on time for sunset. Is that maybe perfect memories being created right there?

3. Gianni’s Ristorante Italiano: A Taste of Italy in Paradise

Alright, ready to try something that’s not Aruba-focused for a change? Gianni’s, for instance, serves up genuine Italian meals right in the middle of Palm Beach. The place looks pretty real, more or less like a spot straight outta Little Italy, and really smells awesome with very savory herbs and spices. Yet it is awesome that, it may be, you could go there if you’re with your family or if you wanna impress someone on a date – very universal, really.

Do try their pasta. Seems really weird to suggest that, yet, I have to be honest, alright? They toss it in a big wheel of cheese tableside and, alright, they make their pizzas with, like, a real brick oven. Anyway, their wine menu is, alright, long and the wait staff tends to know what is happening, as a matter of fact, but if not there’s always apps that will, arguably, get you more drunk faster if things get to a weird stage. If you wanna get some, maybe some very filling meals in a happy, friendly place, Gianni’s just might, just might, work out well.

4. Bugaloe Beach Bar & Grill: Fun Times on a Pier

If, you know, having some tasty things and chilling with killer ocean sights is what you crave, check out Bugaloe Beach Bar & Grill. You’re gonna get there, alright, on a pier sticking right out over the water and will give you insane, totally awesome views of the ocean. Anyway, it’s super laid-back and, very, very cool, so do plan on maybe hanging out there a long while. So you should think of bringing someone. That makes certain you are going to split the appetizer costs.

It’s mostly, honestly, bar meals, like wings and burgers and fries. The meals actually get complimented by strong, actually strong, mixed drinks. There is actually also tons of awesome music. Really makes certain this is a pretty hopping spot during the day and in the evenings, really. Just chill with people as a local Aruban music person, well, blasts all around the pier.

5. Madame Janette: A Unique Culinary Experience

So last up is, basically, Madame Janette, so you really need to save it for a night that you just might want something very elegant but not too silly. What might make it seem a bit chill is that they made the establishment kinda out in what might look to be someone’s, alright, super cute backyard. Pretty peaceful vibe, really. More or less perfect when you want to chew on some killer meals in a setting where things do not come off way too extra, to be honest.

Everything’s basically gourmet over there. Is that maybe they will make some stuff, sort of, combining the best meals all across the world with a nice Caribbean, yet almost French, twist. In fact, plenty of people do almost die, alright, when eating the almond-crusted grouper. Anyway, because I could be wrong, I actually think it’s on nearly every review of the location, I would bet. To be honest with you, you just cannot visit Palm or Eagle Beach without stopping in at Madame Janette. You’d totally lose out!
