   Jean our server curated the whole night to be one to remember. She was so kind, curious, and helpful. She even gave me her pen at the end of the night because it was sparkly and I complimented her 🥲. The food? Do yourself a favor and get the octopus. Best on the island. Fresh and perfectly seasoned. Melts in your mouth. Every dish was delightfully presented, unpretentious, and delivered on taste in spades. If you’re choosing between one place and Lima Bistro — choose Lima Bistro.

   Very enjoyable experience. The server was very knowledgeable and able to explain the details used in preparation of the entrees and apps. Would definitely go back.

   We have dined at Lima Bistro several times over the last few years. It has become one of our favorite Aruba restaurants, one that we visit on every trip. The menu has a Peruvian vibe both with the cocktails and the food. The Pisco Sours are outstanding, as are the food offerings. The bread service is delicious. Two slices of sourdough bread with a mustard based dip, and a butter spread mixed with port wine and smoked sea salt. On this trip we shared a special appetizer of Tuna Sashimi. It consisted of six slices of sashimi grade tuna topped with sliced radish, avocado and mango, and served over a flavorful sauce. The dish was outstanding. For entrees, we both opted for the Lobster special. It consisted of an 8 oz Caribbean lobster tail with a spicy crab sauce and topped with a mix of Thai basil and cilantro. Lima Bistro never disappoints and we look forward to returning on our next trip.

   Highly overrated. Sauces were tasty but meats were overcooked and tasteless. No kids menus. AND, $25 cocktails!!! Never again! Much better foods, services and prices found at many other restaurants on the island.

   De ceviche was geweldig, Verder de steak vond ik iets tegenvallen. Normaal gesproken hou ik erg van salade Maar door de manier hoe deze nu gepresenteerd werd was deze voor mij niet echt smakelijk.

   Altijd weer een culinair feestje bij Lima. Open keuken maakt het extra boeiend en gaaf om te zien hoe soepel ze daar werken ondanks de mega drukte.

    Nice little jem, hidden in Oraniestad. For those who seek a culinary treat. Great ambassadors of the Peruvian cuisine!
