Best Seafood Restaurants in Aruba

When you ask an Aruban local where to get the best seafood on the island, they won’t point you toward the high rise hotels of Palm Beach. Instead, they’ll tell you to grab a car, drive 20 minutes south to the sleepy fishing village of Savaneta, and look for the red roofed shack built over the water.

They are sending you to Zeerover.

Zeerover (Dutch for “Pirate”) is not just a restaurant; it’s an Aruban institution. It is a no-frills, hands on, salty aired experience that has remained unchanged for decades, even as the island around it has modernized.

Here is why Zeerover is, without a doubt, one of the best seafood experiences on the One Happy Island.
