Bingo!: Special Restaurant Award for Bingo!

XpEdition Paradise TV Magazine is currently preparing its 2nd edition TV Shows. The focus is on interesting local sites, people, adventurous challenges. sports and culture. During the first edition of the Tv Magazine various outstanding hotels and restaurants received a Special Award in recognition for Quality, Service, Excellence and were voted among the most favorite establisments in the Caribbean. They were featured in the TV Show and this summer in a special magazine as well.

Among last years establishments who received this prestigious and very special award were Papiamento, Driftwood, Le Dome, Cafe the Plaza, Moomba's, the Buccaneer, Amsterdam Manor and The Boardwalk.

The producers of the XpEdition Paradise TV Magazine were so impressed by the quality of Bingo Cafe and Restaurant. Robert Aalbregt, producer: "If you imagine these people just started on this location last October they have done an amazing job." Mike van der Werk and Frans de Rooij old time restaurateurs with quite some experience also on Aruba: "We love our job, it is our passion and we hope it shows!"

It certainly does show. When driving through Noord it is conveniently located at the parking next to the Valero gas station. Although it is not on a beach, or in the middle of a lush garden, the atmosphere is very welcoming and relaxing. You can dine on a large tropical verandah or have a drink at the Dutch styled bar. Easy to have a conversation with about any one here.

Robert Aalbregt: "I had a filet mignon with shrimps, a daring 'marriage', but a very succesful one: a perfect piece of meat, tender and juicy and the dish as a whole had quite some spunk, sparkling almost, if you can say that from a dish!" And continues: "As a dessert I had a chocolate mousse, dangerously good: I haven't seen that done any better in the best restaurants on the island! So, yes, these guys deserve to be in our list of XpEdition Paradise Most Favorite Hotels and Restaurants and I recommend it with pleasure to anyone!.

We went to Bingo at the end of April while in Aruba - loved it! Also loved the owners/bartenders! It's definitely on our list again when we're back in Sept.

Do you know where Linda's Pancakes is located (strip mall on the road going inland from the Allegro?) Bingo is located in the same strip mall as Linda's.
