Discover innovative food and drink experiences crafted by the best talent on the island.

While speaking to locals in the restaurant and tourism industry to create this issue, we discovered a common thread that connected them all: they are innovators in their own right.

Read about Apotek Speakeasy and how it stands out as the only cocktail bar of its kind in Aruba; learn how Frank Timmen is enriching agriculture for the next generation with hydroponics; discover a fresh ceviche recipe elevated with toasted coconut and coconut foam; try a cocktail that isn’t as sweet as the famed Aruba Ariba but does boast subtle notes of passion fruit and peach.

We hope our recommendations will help you uncover a few of the hidden gems around the island. Join us in appreciating the talent and dedication behind each menu, cocktail, and innovation featured in these pages.
