Aqua Grill

Jerrgette Erasmus
Chef

As natives to Aruba, the team at Aqua Grill is proud to offer the freshest local seafood to visitors and fellow islanders alike.

In addition to the abundance of seafood available just off the coast of Aruba’s shores, the menu also takes inspiration from travels abroad with enticing delicacies from far-off waters. Local catches of grouper and snapper are featured alongside must-haves like live Maine lobster, Alaskan crab legs and sashimi-grade tuna. Enjoy fresh oysters and more at Aqua Grill’s world-class raw bar—the largest on the island—and savor the variety of regional ingredients used to prepare each dish. Here, Aruba’s island charm melds with the traditions of New England, the zesty flavors of Italy and the mystique of Asia and South America to serve up an exceptional experience.
