He enjoys buying many of his ingredients from local farmers. It is a combination of all the aforementioned, which is reflected in the dishes created at Chef Urvin his restaurants. He has many accomplishments, which aside from his culinary degrees also include several medals and he is locally famous for being the first winner of ‘Iron Chef Aruba’.

Scallop appetizer was phenomenal! I had short ribs while my husband had a NewYork strip with the blackened corn topped with queso fresco. Neither of us could finish our meals! We sat on the terrace which is enclosed. It was a little warm because there hasn't been much wind on island, but there were multiple fans to keep air moving. We would go back again, but sit inside. Cool atmosphere!

About the restaurant

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.

We have had dinner at King Fred’s a couple times. We’ve had the ravioli appetizers and they are excellent. My wife loves the Asian chicken, and I love the vegetarian eggplant, pasta Primavera. We went upstairs to the third floor and the windmill check out the beautiful bar Upstairs. You would highly recommend food is excellent. Service is great. People are very friendly there.
