postal2011 Posted July 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Hi We will be in Aruba on Wednesday Oct. 4. We do not leave the port until 10 pm I was wondering if there are any good places to eat near the port. We are sailing on Carnival. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iguana Joe's one of the best restaurants in the port area. It's a big pink building restaurant is upstairs can't miss it. Great view of the whole area. Crew favorite great food great drinks. The place will be packed I have dinner here every time I'm on the island. Google Iguana Joe's Aruba and check out they're menu. Best drinks and best food close to the port. You'll go back. Have fun. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted July 19, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Eetcafe at the Paddock Just to your left out of the cruise port. try the Dutch platter. Also The Old Fisherman on Havenstraat, which is just past the Royal Mall, a block down and a block up from IJ, has great seafood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcbiker97 Posted July 20, 2023 #4 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Barefoot restaurant is a short taxi ride down the street. They have beach side dining and we enjoyed our meal there in May. https://barefootaruba.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTEllis Posted October 19, 2023 #10 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Iguana Joe's (AGAIN🙄) with EVERYBODY ELSE. Best authentic REAL nachos I've eaten in years. Bloody Marys ROCK. Mojito's are as good as they are on the ship. Fresh everything. Pretty people, nice too!! One of the best vibes on the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is located downtown, but pretty far to walk from the cruise port. It is definitely not upscale, like LG Smith's. We haven't dined there in years.
