Best lunch spot in Aruba. Views from the tables at the end of the pier are amazing, and the fish is fantastic. Get the red snapper or mahi mahi blackened with polenta. Tasty, juicy, crispy, tender, fresh fish with delicious toppings. I’m very happy the food is as good as the vibe because that’s very hard to find. I don’t think there’s anything like eating a proper fish in a beautiful spot

Pelican Pier in Aruba is an absolute must-visit and easily one of the most memorable dining experiences on the island. Sitting at the very end of the pier with crystal-clear turquoise water below and nonstop ocean breezes, the setting alone is unbeatable, especially at sunset. The seafood was incredibly fresh and flavorful, from perfectly prepared fish to delicious appetizers that captured true island flavor. What truly elevated the experience, though, was our waiter Dubar, who was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making us feel like valued guests from start to finish. Between the stunning views, relaxed island atmosphere, excellent food, and top-tier service, Pelican Pier delivers the perfect Aruba dining experience and is a place we would happily return to again and again.
