On October 4th, 2022 the Dutch red windmill opened her doors to Fred & Diana.

Diana is known for Diana's Pancakes, across Barcelo and before that, she was the owner of a similar pancake place next to the mill.
​
Fred is known for his former restaurants Chef's Tables, 2 Fools and a Bull and Fred Restaurant in downtown Oranjestad.
​
The two decided to work together and King Fred & Princess Diana was born. Diana delights guests with Dutch pancakes in the morning, while Fred takes the reins in the evening, serving a diverse range of international cuisine for dinner.
​
On the second floor you will find our souvenir shop that can be visited anytime upon request.
​
The third floor belongs to Frans, who is a well known bartender in the Aruban hospitality industry. He will serve you cold drinks for a reasonable price.

    Service was amazing and we loved the outdoor seating. Unfortunately, the food was pretty bland.

    Our table was ready for us when we arrived at the restaurant. The staff was welcoming, very friendly and attentive to our needs. The food was excellent, and the cocktails are very good. Definitely recommend dining here.

    Unfortunately, we were not impressed with King Fred and Princess Diana. When we arrived, there was a delicious smell of food in the air. We were excited and assumed it was coming from King Fred's. The drink special was good! It was kind of like a lemon drop. The bread basket was good. We asked for water, which we were charged a small fee. My husband and I ordered the Chicken Cordon Bleu. We received a fried piece of chicken with no ham and some weird curdled cheese inside. It was kind of like a frozen stuffed chicken you get at the grocery store and throw in the oven. My daughter was still eating her dinner, and the hostess took her food away. The dessert was ok, but the taramisu was strong with alcohol. My husband had the cheesecake and said it was very good! The food we smelled coming in ended up being from a different restaurant next door. Maybe we picked the wrong meal? I don't know. We chose this restaurant due to all the positive reviews on the Aruba FB pages.

    We had the Fred Salad, the Mustard Soup and the Drunk Chicken and I have to say it was so delicious that I had the next night.
