Nusa Restaurant Aruba

Transport your taste buds to the islands of Indonesia at Nusa Restaurant Aruba. Located in the heart of Oranjestad at the Harbour House, this hidden gem offers an authentic Balinese dining experience led by Chef Wayan, who hails from the island of Nusa Penida. The name “”Nusa”” itself means “”island”” in Indonesian, reflecting the restaurant’s mission to be a meeting point between the islands of Aruba and Bali.

Nusa is renowned for its traditional Indonesian Rice Table (Rijsttafel), a feast of small dishes that allows guests to sample a wide variety of flavors in one sitting. Diners can choose from 5, 7, or 9-dish combinations featuring classics like Beef Rendang, Sateh (skewers), and fresh vegetables, all prepared with rich, homemade spice mixes and without the use of MSG. Set within a cozy, string-lit outdoor garden terrace, Nusa provides a serene and flavorful escape from the bustling city center.
