Restaurant Royal Aruba
Welcome to Royal Chefs Table Restaurant. We want to give you a unique and intimate dining experience filled with an evening (3.5 hours) of delicious food, great wines, good music and lots of fun together with all other guests.
We are a small restaurant that seats maximum seventeen guests at a U-shaped high-top bar for guests 18 years and older. We believe this is the best way for us to highlight fine dining in a casual way. We will present you a playful five course set chefs menu with an optional wine pairing that will compliment every course. We put a lot of love and effort into creating the menu along with the wine pairings, so we ask you to come in open minded and not to be afraid of trying new things. Please be informed that we are not able to serve vegetarian, vegan or fully dairy free dishes as we are not able to cook without butter.
We start with dinner 7 PM sharp and dinner will be finished around 10:30 PM. In between courses we have a break to stretch your legs and mingle with other guests. At the end of the dinner, we offer the opportunity to sit on the rooftop terrace with us. (Talk about silly things)
The price for dinner in 2024 is $120 per person included a glass of bubbles when you arrive at 7 PM sharp. Please be informed that from January 1st 2025 dinner will be $130 per person.
We offer a wine pairing with your dinner, we have no set price as our wines will change each 8/10 weeks with the menu.
Monday through Friday 7 PM sharp we start with dinner. For re-confirmations the best time to call is please between 11 am and 4 pm everyday. AT THIS MOMENT WE ARE CLOSED ON SATURDAY TILL FUTURE NOTICE AND SUNDAY.

The Chef
My name is Roy Engelen, chef and owner of Restaurant Royal, born and raised in the south of Holland, Roermond. I started cooking when I was 15 years old, and I am still very passionate about it. After I graduated from culinary school, I learned/worked for some great chefs in several 1 and 2 Michelin Star restaurants and other high-level restaurants in the Netherlands. I enjoy cooking for guests every day and serving them tasteful and beautiful plated dishes. I love to recreate classic dishes and present them with a more modern twist. Plating and flavors are the most important part of my cooking.
