Many entrees are served on a hot stone, which is an interesting and mostly successful novelty, though their heat would not allows me to recommend for children. My order was quite enjoyable: fried calamari appetizer (small portion not really big enough to share) and surf and turf. The surf and turf consisted of several scampi style shrimp and a beef... More

We were looking for a nice experience for our last night in Aruba for a family of 7. I check Trip Advisor and La Petite Cafe was fairly highly rated, but a local who ate there last night wrote a terrible review. I should have known better and avoided the place. We made reservations and were greeted by a tall... More

I have a home on the island so I am quite familiar with most of the restaurants on the island. My family and some friends decided to eat here because Smokey Joes had a 45 minute wait. We walked accross the street to find out they would seat us immediately (should have been my first warning). The service was slow... More

The name of the restaurant is a bit deceiving. However the dinner menus are very good . Tried the meat,lobster,and shrimp special and well worth the price. Plenty of tables and did not need reservations at 7pm. Good attentive service.

My wife and I are pretty traditional breakfast people, so it's tough to not at least earn an average rating, but this place missed that by a bunch. We both had the All American breakfast, which is 2 eggs, toast, potatoes, bacon and sausage links. Egg were fine, potatoes soggy and chewy, toast stale, sausage shriveled beyond substance and bacon... More

This restauraunt was on a list that was provided by Aruba Tourism through Jet Blue Airlines, which provided restaurant certificates to be used towards offsetting your meal cost. This is definitely one restaurant to avoid in Aruba, considering the many choices you have in this beautiful island. My wife and were staying at the Marriott and the Concierge made reservations...

We were recommended to visit Le Petit by several of our friends that had visited Aruba. We were very excited to try this restaurant and we went there the very first night of our honeymoon. The waitress we had should be fired. She was awful and it was evident early on that numerous guests were annoyed with her. We waited... More

This was a wonderful place to dine, The lava rock at your table was so neat. To cook your own steak at your table no complaining about a over done or under cooked steak you do it yourself. This is a must try place

We went in mid November 2011 and were very impressed and ended up eating here twice. The fillet steak cooking on the stone was a very nice touch and tasted great and the prices were very reasonable. Service was good and the atmosphere was nice. Definitely looking to go back here in Feb 2012.
