   My family and I went to this place for dinner after watching the sunset across the street on the beach! I was a little worried with the place being less than a year old and minimal reviews, but they were highly rated. We come to Aruba often and it’s always the same type of food: Italian, Dutch, Mexican, Caribbean, etc. We were looking forward to trying a new place in the high rise area and were so exciting to find a change of cuisine that was Belgium/French food. The atmosphere was AMAZING!! They have an outdoor courtyard area, an indoor/outdoor area and also an all indoor area, a place for everybody! They have a whole selection of imported Belgium beer, and when you ordered it, they have every single branded glass that matches the beer you order! So cool and classy! The service was wonderful! Kind owner, friendly staff, very attentive and perfectly paced meal. We ordered French fries for the table with the andalouse sauce that was incredible and also the shrimp croquettes - wonderful. My entree was the Vol Au Vent (picture attached) and it was huge and delicious!! Could definitely split with someone and still be full! My husband got the Oostends which he thoroughly enjoyed, it was a seafood belgium stew. These meals also came with potato croquettes which were unbelievable! They had a grouper filet and mushroom risotto special that night that my parents absolutely loved! My husband and I actually have been the Belgium (Brussels and Bruge) and were so excited to see an authentic Belgium waffle on the menu and had to split it for dessert. Will definitely come back again in the future. Very authentic after visiting Belgium ourselves and was such a nice meal and experience overall. The restaurant was located perfectly right off the main drag, so you still had the hustle and bustle of the people without all the chaos. A hidden gem for sure!!!

   We enjoyed a delicious order of mussels and frits as well as our entrees of shrimp salad and a shrimp and pasta dish. Our waiter was "CJ" and he helped make our evening fabulous.

   This is my 5th time here and always a pleasure. Our server, Vivienne, was very nice and attentive. The blood orange cosmo’s were really good. I had the special appetizer which was a zucchini soup. I didn’t especially like it, it was a bit salty and I didn’t really get the zucchini flavor. The special entree was surf and turf which was very nice. The shrimps were a little overcooked but the filet mignon was delicious and the sauce and mashed potatoes were succulent. The dessert was the apple tartin which is absolutely amazing. Overall a good experience and I highly recommend you try this restaurant if you haven’t already. As a side note, three times I’ve had their special seafood risotto and oh my god to die for. Unfortunately it’s not a regular item on the menu but I really ask them to reconsider and make it a regular dish!

   We grabbed a reservation here honestly just to make sure we had something, but reviews looked positive. Now our advice is - don’t wait, GO! Our dinner was incredible. The service was professional and attentive and the food was absolutely delicious. We had a delicious Burgundy that was reasonably priced for Aruba. We finished with the tableside crêpes Suzette - very fun. Highly recommend.
