Que Pasa?

There is nothing like Que Pasa!

Since 1992 we are more than regular guests to this island and frequent the local restaurants several times a week. If we are here for only one week we always have our favorites to dine out at least one time.

The only restaurant we will always visit at least twice is Que Pasa. Why? Because it's simply the best in every aspect. The superb service, no matter we arrive as a couple to dine at the cosy bar area or with the kids in the restaurant. The team will take care of every need. The kitchen is the most stable one at the island and every dish is superb and so fresh.

In more than 20 years they never disappointed us and everything is possible. Straight away, without hesitation. For us, demanding eaters with changing wishes, this is an absolute delight.

Last Thursday we went to QP for their Sushi night, outstanding! A pitty that a week on this island is always a couple of days too short...

What a letdown

I was looking for a great meal for me and my wife for our 10 year wedding anniversary and we decided on this restaurant due to the menu options and it being so highly rated. I ordered the beef and reef. I have to say that no part of my meal was good. My steak had no flavor even with the sauce they present it with. My 2 shrimp were not good. One piece of fish had bones still in it and the other was so dry I actually had to cut it with a knife it tasted like an overcooked porkchop.

We sat with our unfinished food for at least a half hour before we were approached and asked how our food was. I rarely complain but had to on this occasion. I was asked if I would like some free coffee or tea!! When I declined they asked what they could do to make the expirience better. I told them they could remove part of the meal from the bill or pay for a cab back to the hotel since we came to the area (downtown Oranjestad) just to have a quality meal. The woman said she would go talk to the manager. She returned and said that the manager offered to give us a free desert. I again declined there offer as me and my wife were just ready to leave at this point.

The woman returned with our bill for the meals. The full priced bill. I was going to pay with a credit card but after waiting for a couple minutes and being so disgusted by the whole expirience I just tossed the cash on the table and walked out.

Must try!

This was our second time dining at Que Pasa? and we will definitely go back again. Crab cake appetizer, Beef and Reef for dinner and the brownie desert with ice cream were fantastic and very flavorful. Our servers Angela, Charrell and Simone were friendly and very helpful. We really enjoyed our evening with them.

Wonderful As Usual

This is our 7th visit to One Happy Island and no visit would be complete without a meal at Que Pasa? In fact, we like it so much we have been there twice this visit! The food is very, very good. The presentation is very nice and the young Dutch crew is always welcoming and incredibly pleasant. Try the banana fritters for dessert. They are to die for!

BEST FOOD OF OUR ENTIRE ARUBA TRIP

My girlfriend and I spent 5 nights in Aruba and ate out every night for dinner. Que Pasa was the best meal we had on the Island. If you go, you have to try their tomato soup, it's amazing. Also the presentation of their dishes makes you feel like you are dining in an exclusive Four Seasons restaurant. The atmosphere gives off a local and hometown feeling, and the entire staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. There isn't a thing I would change about Que Pasa. You guys have done an amazing job with your restaurant, the menu, and the selection of your staff. Thanks for making our trip to Aruba so special.

Que Pasa is the place to be when you are on the one happy island, friendly staff and owners and the food is excellent. When i'm on Aruba i'll always eat at Que Pasa because the food is amazing from fish to steak to dessert. When you come in there's is a nice bar with a friendly barman to drink a good glas of wine and to eat a apetizer before you go to your table. Que Pasa gives you the feeling to be in paradise by a colorfull atmosphere and great serivice.

Que Pasa NEVER disappoints!! The food was exquisite, the atmosphere was fun and our hostess, Angela, was the best!! Angela made our dining experience memorable, light and cheery. The fish trio (grouper, salmon and shrimp)was out of this world!! I can't wait to go back!! Thanks Que Pasa!!

everytime I go to Aruba, I go to QUE PASA and always have a wonderfull experience, the food is excelent and innovative, the crew is so friendly that they make you feel the most important person in the world, they do everything to please you, and also the have good wines! and they know how to serve it which, -believe or not- a few rest in aruba do! this time I tried the Crispy Wahoo! I swear I have never tried something so delicious! all the crew is nice but Roy is marvelous! he took the time to gave my husband and I a lot of good suggestions about the island! anyway I will keep on going!

I have been going to Que Pasa ever since it opened (in numerous locations downtown). They never disappoint us and I usually dine there several times while we are there every year. Food is excellent from the fish to the steak. The tataky is marvelous!!!! The desserts are out of this world from the banana fritters to a special they had one night of poached pears. Marvin, keep up the good work!

OMG!
Our best meal in Aruba since we have been going there from 2004. Que Pasa is not a mexican restaurant. I had chicken liver pate for an appetizer, and then WOW! the crusted wahoo...Never had anything sooooooooooooo good!
Marvin & Lotte are the best. You have to have a drink at the bar first to watch the Ohio Basketball game 1st! lol!
We also send some friends there for their last night on the island and they said it was their best meal they had all week. So, please go to Que Pasa! It's worth the detour from Palm Beach Aruba.........Thanks Marvin for your great hospitality, and Lotte for your great service and pretty smile.........Manon & Greg from Dayton Ohio.
Marvin, nous irons te voir en fevrier 2013. Milles Merci!

Marvellous food, people and decoration. Recommended!

We just returned from a week in Aruba and of course we had to have dinner at least once at Que Pasa. Our table of 4 had beef, seafood and chicken dishes and all were superb. The wait staff is friendly and courteous and made great recommendations for meal choices. You really cannot make a bad choice at Que Pasa because all their food is wonderful. We also love the fact that they do not rush you. You can take your time and enjoy your meal in a great atmosphere. Be sure to check out the art displays within the restaurant. Most of the pieces are for sale so you can get yourself a great souvenir at a great price. We highly recommend Que Pasa - you will not be disappointed.

While visiting Aruba this year a friend of my recommended Que Pasa to us, bottom line is we went to the restaurant twice while we stay in Aruba. The food was amazin from appetizer to entree and lastly desert. I love the embiance of the place, so many beautiful local art works being display through out the restaurant. I can't believe all these time, I missed this great place for food. The staff at the Que Pasa are wonderful and friendly, got a chance to meet Roy and on elf the chef Secco at the restaurant. We love their food such much and on the recommendation of Roy & Secco, we went to their sister restaurant Mirandi as well, great place as well. I can't wait to go back next week to enjoy this great restaurant again!

This restaurant was highly recommended to us and it was THE BEST advice ever! So great that we went back twice during our one week trip. Divine good, charming atmosphere filled with artwork from locals and super friendly, accomodating service. We'll surely be back next year. Btw, the specials on the blackboard are superb!

Visit three times during our last visit in February. So happy to see the fried brie salad was back to the old style. My other favorite tomato soup was also great. Others in our party enjoyed the fish dish. All the entres were great. Definately on our list for next year.

Great menu and daily specials! Besides great food also warm and friendly staff. An excellent atmosphere to enjoy a good meal, have a drink (excellent cocktails), and experience warm hospitality. My favourite restaurant on Aruba - already for years.

I love Que Pasa. We just got back from 3 1/2 weeks in Aruba, and went to Que Pasa twice. The food is excellent and the staff couldn't be any nicer and more helpful. We like to sit upstairs outside when we are there. The view isn't very nice, but you can feel the nice breeze while you are eating. I like that every night they have a shrimp special. I will eat shrimp anyway it is cooked.
If you are in Aruba, I highly recommend Que Pasa.

Colourfull, friendly and happy. This is a cosy place to enjoy great food!!
Great experience. Relaxed and friendly staff.

We have been coming to Aruba for the past 13 years and always come for dinner here. Authentic Dutch/Aruban atmosphere and many unusual dishes. We had crispy Wahoo last night - best we have ever had on the island!!

Loved everything about this establishment!! I started with the Thai Shrimp soup...to die for!!
My entree was one of the specials on the blackboard...crispy wahoo served medium rare. Delicioso!!! In a nice terrayaki sauce...Service was first-class and prices are realistic. I will be back!

Another recommendation from the hotel staff. We went on New Year's Eve and were concerned about being rushed, which did not happen.
Very pleased with the food and service. My wife had the ribs and they tender, tasty and falling off the bone. I had the teriyaki chicken which was one of the most tender I have ever had at a restaurant. My picky child even liked both of our meals.
Great service, friendly staff. We will be recommending this one to others as well.

I found this restaurant listed in the top ten restaurants prior to our trip. What a find!!! Absolutely delicious food and great service. We went back twice only to find it was as great the second time as it was the first. We had four people in our party and tried everything from pasta to Barracuda and everyone raved about their dinner.

geweldige zaak. fijne mensen en uitstekende keuken.

try the tomato-soup.....delicious!!!!

Had a very enjoyable dinner at Que Pasa? Food was good and atmosphere was fun. Our waiter and waitress were both wonderful and very attentive. They answered our questions or went and found the answers. We sat right on the street and enjoyed the "people watching." When I wanted ice cream for dessert instead of what was on the menu, they served me ice cream, which was just want I wanted at the time. Definitely worth the trip and will visit again.

We just returned home to New York from yet another memorable trip to Aruba. several years ago, a good friend recommended we try Que Pasa for dinner and we make sure not to miss it anytime we return to Aruba.

The atmosphere is a relaxed blend of tropical island and European backstreets feel. The food is always delicious and extremely well-prepared. This time we particularly enjoyed the seafood casserole appetizer as well as the grouper special we ordered as an entree.

The service may very well be the highlight. Our waitresses was so sweet and pleasant - making us feel special and delighted to have her serve us.

We're looking forward to our next visit to Aruba and all the excellent restaurants there from which to choose. Of course, we are certainly going to return to Que Pasa - the highlight for us of our charming, delicious island Aruba!
