Can anyone suggest a good place for lunch downtown? We usually hit the town one afternoon during our stay. My husband goes to the casino, I shop and then we meet at Iguana Joe's for lunch. Would like to try something new in the same area this time.

the paddock, without doubt! the drinks are good, the food is better...oops, strike that...the food is good, the drinks are better...the prices are reasonable and the setting sitting on the docks is great.

Altho we go for dinner as well, our favorite place for lunch when in town is Rumba. They are located diagonally to the right behind the Renissance Hotel and have a great lunch menu. Check out their website: www.rumba-aruba.com and check out the menu to see what they have. Stefan and his wife run a wonderful restaurant that is also very reasonable.

That's exactly what we do every time. Why break tradition! You need those big drinks after a hot day of shopping!!

ohhhh that key lime pie and the fried babanas soooo yummmmy wish i was headed that way oh yah and a yummy strawberry daiqari ohhh man i have at least 11 mos b4 i can afford to go back

we love lunch at the Paddock. You can sit in the shade by the water and have the best pork sate' I have ever had along with fries and a cold one. The steaks and burgers are very good too.

their pita bread with beef platter is amazingly good. hubby is hooked on the full sate platter with noodles and egg for dinner. i had the pork loin last time i was there and it was wonderful. don't forget their wednesday night all you can eat rib special (do i sound like an advertisement for them?)

I agree! My husband and I know Stefan and he runs a great restaurant - Rumba is one of our favorites for lunch or dinner.

I agree with Sherry. The Paddock has a nice view and friendly staff and the food is good. It is one of our favorites Rick
