Aruba Restaurants and Dining
Sip from a bottle of vintage wine, listen to the cool jazz saxophonist and enjoy the romance - if there's anywhere to do this on the beautiful and tropical island of Aruba, it's here at the L'Escale. Why? For one thing, the location is perfect. Indeed, that's why happy vacationers like you who are in the mood to impress come to the L'Escale. After that, it's the sexy atmosphere that draws in the eager restaurant visitors. You'd be best off leaving the kids at home. This is a place where you are sure to impress a hot Caribbean date or, more likely, the special someone you brought to Aruba for a passion-filled getaway.
The L'Escale Décor
You'll be sufficiently impressed by the sheer finery of the place. And it won't take you long to breathe in the stylish comfort that exudes from every inch of the elegant trappings here at the L'Escale. That's right, the L'Escale is top notch, but it is also a restaurant that you can feel at home in, a special combination that's quite hard to achieve, especially anywhere outside of the Caribbean. But the staff and management here have done the best that can be done with the warmth of the tropical climate - as well as the welcoming island culture - to define upscale as something comfortable as well as classy.
While one of the first and most noticeable aspects of the L'Escale that brings itself to the attention of diners here is the incredible harbor and sunset view (the L'Escale is open for dinner from 6pm to 11pm all week, and Sunday brunch from 10am to 2pm) there are also a variety of other fine features that go into making this one of the most amazing tropical dining locales on the Aruba island. First off, the exquisite chandeliers and the extensive wall paintings filled with garden and plant life scenes are sure to have you hearken back to the grandeur of the Dutch colonial days. Yet somehow this finery does not get in the way of - or clash with - the expansive Bay windows that let in the shimmering colorful sunset in its entire splendor.
The L'Escale Menu
Come to the L'Escale to participate in a truly decadent dining experience. For starters, delve into an ornately decorated - and orangey drizzled - salad featuring fresh shrimp and avocado. The main course will stun you with its sumptuousness. Try the chicken made with curry and mushrooms; it's out of this world. The primary dishes feature seafood as well as they do steak, and the dessert is also excellent at the L'Escale.
It's a good idea for you to make reservations when you come to the L'Escale. You can call ahead at (297) 583-6000. The restaurant is located in Renaissance Aruba Beach Resort (L. G. Smith Blvd. 82), in the down town area of Oranjestad.
