The honeymoon phase is over, and the food still hits. From burrata to Dover sole, Eskama at The St. Regis Aruba keeps the spark alive.

We’re starting 2026 and there are some things we need more of… and some that need to go immediately.

INs:
• Cheap Wine: because we don’t need to pay $80 every time we’re thirsty at dinner.
• Bar Food: cool, chic, and to the point. Sometimes we just want a bite and to move on.
• Long Lunches: a leisurely afternoon at the table is the ultimate luxury.
• Restaurant Merch: brand loyalty that goes beyond the table.
• Late-Night Dining: please. It’s about making the night last.

OUTs:
• Overhead Lighting: we don’t need to feel like we’re eating in a food court.
• Steak Courses: knock it off. Not every tasting menu needs a tenderloin medallion.
• Birthday Singing: are you five? No? Okay then.
• Mimosas: rough on the stomach and usually… not great.
• Truffle Anything: we need a moratorium on synthetic truffle flavoring (yes, 99% of the time it’s not even real).

Last Two Days to enjoy the Restaurant Week .aruba and The Birdie and I put it simple for you here: I’ll tell you my picks of each menu 🍷🤌🏼

Bucatini:
• Kale Carbonara Caesar Salad: Extra rich and savory because the dressing is enriched like a Carbonara sauce, Guanciale bits everywhere and a tons of parmesan cheese.
• Bucatini E Polpetini: Thick noodles coated in a sweet tomato sauce and meatballs, can’t get any more Italian.
• Panna Cotta: If you still have any room left (included in the menu) this dessert will give you one not-too-sweet moment. Loved that for us.

The Birdie:
• Corn Crab Chowder: The hearty soup I was craving. Sweet and silky. A 10.
• Skirt Steak: A classic dinner dish. Steak and Mash, wine sauce. If you are thinking steak this is your call.
• Apple Pie: a warm, flaky dough, piece of pastry is always welcome. Literall, what’s not to love?

Two special places, two special menus. I would make my reservation right now if I were you 😌.

Making honor of its 🌋 origin the Molcajete is sizzling with flavor and a ton of food to share. I’ve never seen anything like it. Fun fact: in the history of the place only one person has finished it by themselves. Are you up for a challenge?
