Acerca de este restaurante

  • Bueno para ocasiones especiales
  • Elegante
  • Ideal para disfrutar vinos finos
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.

    What a wonderful experience. Chef Patrick and his wonderful team present a memorable culinary experience. The food is thoughtfully, lovingly, and meticulously prepared with attention given to every detail. Delicious flavors and fresh ingredients combined in such creative ways. The wine pairings are simply perfect. We appreciated the special butterfly adornments to commemorate our anniversary. Chef and his staff are approachable, welcoming, and warm. The setting is so comfortable. We will be back!

    A wonderful evening enjoying Chef Patrick’s culinary vision! His passion for food is deftly expressed with each thoughtfully curated course. The intimate design of the evening- only a few tables are served each night- allowed Chef and his assistant, Jeremy, to engage with guests and share their experiences that have shaped this concept. Chef prepares 5 courses, with each harmoniously balancing depth and complexity. An optional wine pairing is a delightful complement to the meal. This was my first journey with Chef Patrick but am already looking forward to another when I return to Aruba next year. Aruba has many wonderful excursions but Chef Patrick’s “journey” is one you should put at the top of your list!

    Dear Christine, Thank you so much for taking your time to write a review. We really appreciate this. We are thrilled that you enjoyed Chef Patrick’s culinary journey and appreciated the passion and care that go into each course. It’s wonderful to hear that the intimate setting allowed for meaningful connections and storytelling—this is precisely the experience we love to create. We are delighted that the balance of flavors and the optional wine pairing enhanced your evening, and even more excited to know that you plan to return next year! We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable journey. Until then, wishing you many more delicious adventures! Team The Journey

    The experience starts at 7 kind of. It actually started around 7:15 with sparkling wine and a small appetizer. This meal ended at 10:30, with an intermission at 9ish. This meal was way too long and late for our table. The food was good, but the time it took to have the meal ruined it for us. Would be much better if they started at 6:00 and got rid of the intermission. We were ready to go at the intermission. The chef was really nice and a delight to talk to. He is definitely a master of his art.

    The Journey was the best meal we had all week in Aruba! We have loved the cooking of Chef Patrick van der Donk since we first discovered him 14 years ago at Amuse Bistro. With The Journey he has truly taken things to the next level. Delicious and interesting food paired perfectly with lovely wines along with friendly and helpful servers. It’s worth going to Aruba just so you can eat at The Journey!

    Dear Mrs Alexis, Thank you for taking your time and write us a review. It was a pleasure hosting you again. Amuse Bistro were Chef Patrick and His wife Ivette started their restaurant Journey. Thank you for following us all these years. We love to see you back during your next visit. Kind regards, Team the Journey

    Poor wine parings, soso food not worth the money - chef was more into selfies than food
    THE JOURNEY - To Culinary ExcellenceSe respondió el 28 de marzo de 2025
    Dear Mr Jim, Thank you for your time to write us a review. We appreciate all the feedback we can get. Unfortunately, we did not meet your expectations for the night and apologize for this. We do take our service and food serious. During the night we indeed do invite all our guests to come and have a look at the preparation of the dishes and have a possibility to ask some questions to Chef Patrick. This is part of our concept. We would like to invite you back during your next visit on us, to give us another chance to make it up to you.
