One cannot leave Aruba without experiencing the authentic Aruban culture, cuisine and hospitality of The Old Cunucu House. One of the first restaurants to feature traditional island dishes when they opened their doors over 25 years ago; their reputation for quality in every aspect still makes it a "must do" on veteran vacationers dining list.
Colonial influences of the Spanish, Dutch, English and French have all left their mark on Aruba's native cuisine, along with the rich flavors of the region. The owners strive to maintain Grandma's "secret recipes " for seafood, fresh caught fish, beef, pork and poultry, as well as the signature cabrito - the ever popular goat stew, enriched by international influences.

Went with high expectations. Service was good but wasnât impressed by the quality of meat used for the pricey beef and goat stews we ordered. The beef was not lean so my kids didnât like it. I ordered the goat stew which was very flavorful but most fat and bones. Appetizer sampler was good but a bit expensive for the quantity.

We always like to try a local country food which are authentic to that country. We went to Old Cunucu house based on recommendation from hotel staff and also online reviews. This was a great recommendation. Aruban pancake appetizer was really great. We ordered few other items including Catch of the day and everything was excellent

We went in the evening and there was a guy playing the guitar and singing which made it even more inviting. I would recommend anyone looking for good food at a local spot to
