About the restaurant

Next to the 'Old Mill' in Aruba you'll find a unique new restaurant, 'The Journey'. Michelin star trained chef Patrick van der Donk (Amuse Sunset restaurant) has made a very intimate chef's table concept.

Credit card information will be required in order to hold reservation as well confirmation by phone.

Not your usual bar seating set-up! Here you are able to dine at you own separate tables and still have a view of the chef creating your 5 1/2 course meal for a max of 20 guests per evening.
Price $130 per dinner and $80 for the optional wine paring, small bar available.
The evening starts at our cozy lounge with delicious hors d'oeuvres and bubbles, inside at a small and stylish set-up the chef will prepare every dish in front of his guests taking time to invite his guests over for a chat, he might even ask to help plating his dishes which gives a truly extraordinary dining experience. The menu changes frequently, classic dishes with a twist prepared with the best ingredients.

The place was amazing! I must say, Juan was an outstanding bartender. His professionalism and attention to detail truly made our experience unforgettable. It is rare to come across such exceptional service, and I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for his dedication. I highly recommend visiting this place and experiencing Juan's exceptional hospitality for yourself. My recommendation that he hooks up with my friend Norberto. Let me know if you want his number.

Apotek Speakeasy is a hidden gem that masterfully combines vintage charm, craft cocktails, and intimate setting. From the moment you enter through its discreet entrance, you’re transported into a world of moody lighting, antique apothecary decor, and an spoky vibe. The cocktail menu is exceptional—creative, balanced, and beautifully presented, with house-made infusions and unique flavor profiles. Service is top-tier, with staff who are friendly and clearly passionate about creating a great cocktail. Do go if downtown.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
