Que Pasa Aruba

Located in a beautifully restored historic merchant’s house in downtown Oranjestad, Que Pasa Restaurant & Winebar is one of the most colorful and eclectic dining spots on the island. Since opening in 1992, it has become a staple for those seeking a fun, bohemian atmosphere combined with serious culinary creativity. The interior doubles as an art gallery, with walls covered in vibrant paintings by local artists, most of which are for sale, creating a constantly changing visual backdrop.
The menu is a “world cuisine” fusion without borders, offering everything from fresh sushi and spicy tuna tartare to Dutch-style schnitzels and Caribbean grouper. It is particularly famous for its chalkboard specials, which change daily based on the chef’s inspiration and market availability. Whether you choose to dine in the cozy, art-filled salon or the breezy outdoor garden, Que Pasa offers a lively, casual-chic vibe that appeals to both couples and groups of friends.
