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?

    Food, service and ambiance were all great. We enjoyed cocktails before dinner. We had the coconut shrimp appetizer. We had red snapper and chicken for dinner. Everything was amazing as usual.

    View was great but food was just okay. Was not very warm and steak was just okay and for a filet was somewhat tough.
