About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for scenic views
  • Charming
The Pelican Nest Seafood Grill, opened its doors in 1994 and has been a favorite place for locals and tourists alike ever since.

Aruba’s favorite restaurant completely above the water offers many unique attributes; the spectacular view at any time of the day and especially during sunsets, the wide array of fresh seafood, a relaxing atmosphere, exclusive seating for dinner and the option while dining to feed the fish. Our Peruvian chef makes a famous and delicious fish ceviche.

The Caribbean, easy going yet professional atmosphere, the choice of fresh items on the menu, a courteous and friendly staff, the ever lasting sense of well-being and complete relaxation and enjoyment, what more could one require?

    We had a later reservation, but wanted to get in earlier. Seated us right away. Our waiter was great and gave great recommendations. Good food, great service and a lovely view over the water.

    Pelicans Nest Seafood Restaurant is a unique and amazing restaurant on (really) the water with some of the best seafood dishes in Aruba! The wait staff are very observant and in tune to your desires. We always come here at least twice each visit to Aruba. Always an exceptional meal!

    Best part of this restaurant is the view and sitting right on the water on a pier. Food was pretty good especially the grouper, but it took a long time to get it.
