Royal Chef's Table Restaurant Aruba
Welcome to Royal Chef's Table Restaurant! We aim to provide a unique and intimate dining experience, offering an evening (3.5 hours) of delicious food, great wines, good music, and enjoyable interactions with fellow guests.
Dinner service begins promptly at 7:00 PM and concludes around 10:30 PM. We start on the rooftop terrace with a glass of bubbles to introduce the evening. Between courses, you’ll have breaks to stretch your legs and mingle with other guests.
Our cozy restaurant accommodates up to maximum 19 guests at a U-shaped high-top bar, exclusively for those aged 18 and older. We believe this setup allows us to showcase fine dining in a relaxed and casual atmosphere.
Our playful five-course chef’s menu comes with an optional wine pairing to complement each course. We’ve poured love and effort into crafting both the menu and wine selections, so we encourage you to arrive with an open mind, ready to explore new flavors.
Please note, due to our cooking methods, we are unable to accommodate vegetarian and vegan dishes.
We look forward to hosting you for an unforgettable evening at Chef's Table Restaurant Royal!
The price for dinner is $130 per person included a glass of bubbles when you arrive at 7 PM sharp.

The Chef of Chef's Table Restaurant Royal
Ashwin Maduro (33), born and raised in Aruba, began cooking at the age of 14 at Manchebo Beach Resort while still in high school. I did not graduate from EPI (Hospitality and Tourism) and at the age of 18 and decided to pursue a fine dining culinary career in the Netherlands. Over the years, I worked at FG Restaurant (2 Michelin stars) and De Librije (3 Michelin stars). However, I learned the most during my time at Daalder Amsterdam (1 Michelin star). In 2020, I returned to Aruba and worked at Infini Restaurant. Since June 2023, I have been part of the team at Royal Restaurant, where I greatly enjoy and find it rewarding to teach students and chefs the tricks of the culinary trade, hoping to inspire them along the way
