Seeking to expand his horizons and further hone his culinary skills, Chef Ludena set his sights on Europe, particularly the Netherlands. He embarked on a journey that would lead him to the prestigious culinary school in the Netherlands, where he delved into the intricacies of European cooking techniques. During his time in the Netherlands, Chef Ludena had the incredible opportunity to work under the mentorship of Chef Jermain de Rozario at 'de Lindehof.' Chef Jermain de Rozario is a distinguished chef known for his exceptional culinary talent, and his restaurant holds two Michelin stars, signifying the highest level of culinary excellence.

Best dinner we’ve had all week in Aruba. Was a last-minute restaurant change for Thanksgiving, and we are glad we made the decision. We shared the goat cheese crème brûlée and escargot for appetizers—so yum that I could’ve eaten another serving of both myself, truthfully. My wife and kids had the Dutch steak, and I had the wild boar shank for our main course. Both were flavorful and well-plated. We unfortunately passed on dessert, because we were stuffed. When we return to Aruba, Papillon will definitely be a spot to dine at once again.

French onion soup is excellent. All three people on our party ordered steak. The filet was the best of the three, the steak De Vinder was acceptable, but nothing special - the highlight was the truffle fries that were AMAZING (upcharge). The real reason for the three star review was the flank steak - the description indicated that it was sous vide and then either grilled or seared but it did not seem to be sous vide to me, and there was no sign that it had even touched a grill or skillet - completely grey. It was full of connective tissue that was not broken down at all (making me think that it was not sous vide) - I had to ask for a sharper steak knife because the one they initially gave me couldn’t handle the connective tissue. The real issue was that the flank steak was served in a single piece that was folded in thirds - a true crime for a flank steak. If the chef had served the steak in cut thirds and then sliced against the grain, perhaps at a nice bias, and presented neatly over the sauce and topped with the micro greens, it would have been better I was so irritated by having to saw through the pile of improperly cooked mess that was plated that I made our party leave without dessert. Our bill was over $300 for one bottle of wine, two mediocre steaks, and one crime against the culinary arts.

The early bird special is what we selected. I chose the quiche with the grouper. And my partner chose the squash soup with the grouper. We were celebrating our anniversary and was delighted that they made a special ice cream plate for the two of us we always go here at least during our visit to Aruba.

Still very good spot. We were inside and it was loud, not obnoxious, just the luck of the draw that two two tops that the gentleman had quite loud voices. The food was very good, service tried to be very helpful. Inside seating is air conditioned, but tends to be louder. The lobster bisque was exceptional! Rack of lamb was very good. Goat cheese appetizer was quite nice. Parking was insane. It is normally difficult, but with the street under reconstruction it was a zoo. The locals were definitely not exhibiting “The happy island” spirit. We were cut off at several points, but they did indicate we were #1 😉 We will give it another try next year. I think we rated it 5 last year, 4 this year.
