Vacations are about extraordinary foods, beverages and relaxation and SUNDAYS are for Brunch.
For anyone heading to Aruba, I will share where we found what I consider the best brunch in Aruba.
Best Brunch In Aruba for Sunday Yum!
Two very steadfast parts of any day, morning and night.
Vacation seems to be when most of us step back and appreciate each of these.
I may be jaded, by my personal experience, but I will say it is the best brunch in Aruba.
After you’ve taken your Sunday morning run, enjoyed a bit of beach time, and are ready to relax a spectacular brunch awaits.
Dawn to Dusk. Best brunch spot in Aruba is also a premier dinner spot!
Conversely, as the day draws to a close, the sun sets in Aruba.
The sunset and a glass of wine alone are something to behold, yet it can get better than this.
Sparkling windows from floor to ceiling in this same restaurant allow more than formidable views of both the Caribbean Sea and the Divi Links Golf Course.
As minutes march forward on the clock, so too does the sun, as it prepares to set.
CaribbeanUltimate Caribbean Vacation. Sea waters seem to tuck in the last rays of sunshine, alongside it, a million-dollar view, right at the vista in front of your table.
Smart, sophisticated, fine dining, an Aruba not-to-be-missed foodie experience awaits.
Come here for a masterfully executed dinner and sunset or to welcome your new week for a Sunday brunch.
Whatever you do, just don’t miss out on the best brunch in Aruba or your vacation will not be complete.

BRUNCH at WINDOWS – the best brunch in Aruba (IMO)
What’s special about this destination are all the windows and the Divi Links Golf Course with the Caribbean Sea view straight ahead.
No matter WHAT table you are at, your view will be spectacular.
WINDOWS is set as a circular restaurant, no tables are behind, and all tables have a view.
On the back half of the ‘circle’ you are in, you will find the kitchen, with ‘windows’ you can look into.
As you walk in, to your left is a bar area, and in the morning, a seat for a Violinist!
To be honest, it was very awkward for me to photograph, please forgive the lighting.
We were not right next to a window and people were watching every time I tried to photograph.
Generally, I try to keep it to a dull roar when working as to not disturb anyone else and to be inconspicuous but it was obvious.
With that said, some of these photos will not be the best that they could be as I had people behind me and in front of us, etc.
Trying to not impede anyone’s vacation was mandatory, so please forgive the less-than-perfect images and enjoy the great ones!
I do think I should have gone to the table in front of us, that ordered 8x and asked to photograph their food, lol!
If you are really curious, head to Aruba and experience it, you won’t’ regret it!
Brunch ~ A Must Experience: Sophisticated Aruba Dining
Start off with a mimosa, and follow that with another and another.
Cheers to Sunday.
Then there was the all-celebratory table behind us, who told the server, ‘stop playing with the orange juice, leave the bottle of champagne only!”
Yes, to answer your question, the server complied.
Windows Brunch and Understanding How It Works.
Don’t be afraid to order. Eat. Repeat.
Yes, that is how it is done.
The server will take ONE item at a time.
Once it is served, the server comes back and asks for additional orders.
You are not ordering everything at once.
Order. Savor. Repeat. As much as you want, as long as you want!
Divi Properties & Is It All-Inclusive?
For those staying at Divi Properties (all-inclusive Tamarijn and Divi Divi, as well as Divi Village AI), there is an additional charge.
It is not part of the AI Program, but it is a straight charge per person.
It’s one fee per person and it’s all you can eat, however, it does not appear that way on the menu.
Basically, the menu is provided and you begin ordering.
Choose one item at a time, and the food is delivered to the table.
While you wait there are ‘brunch appetizers’ which really are outstanding pastries.
Warning *** don’t fill up on these, there is a large menu and you can order off of it over and over and over until you are ready to ROLL out of Windows, LOL.
Truly, a couple dining around us, ordered 8 times. I was just in awe.
We did not come anywhere near that amount of food nor beverage.
Pastries that are outstanding, will be presented.
DO try to not eat them all.
They are filled, and definitely pleasing.
What a brilliant blue sky right?
Look out the WINDOWS A premiere Aruba dining experience.
Amazing, and you can’t help but smile, but I think the food has something to do with this happiness as well.
Remember, it’s not just the food that is delicious, it’s the ambiance.
Hmmm, which is it? How about both!
The way the light hits the windows that again are floor to ceiling.
It’s almost like you are inside of a Terrarium!
Food, Glorious Food at Windows on Aruba
To not spoil your future sophisticated dining experience, I will just share a few pictures of the food.
Watermelon Feta Salad
I could have eaten about 5 plates of this, I stopped at one.
Sweet, succulent watermelon bites, amidst greens and a balsamic glaze, just danced across my tastebuds. Mmm.
I’m A Sucker for A Caprese Salad
Oh, what a salad.
A slice of fresh mozzarella, tomato and topped off with a very fresh arugula.
Delish. Refreshing. Beautifully executed.
Scallops and Lobster
Seafood. It’s a must-order especially because it is so fresh we are right at the sea!
Lobster sauce atop the scallops and the mango chutney to top it all.
Allergen Friendly Dining Pros & Cons
So you might know that our son has massive amounts of food allegies.
Food allergies and brunch in Aruba may be a bit difficult to navigate so do call ahead and discuss with the Windows or anywhere you go.
I’m going to be brutally honest, not to dissuade you from dining here but…
My son has serious food allergies, and they could not have been more accommodating, but it was busy. Above you see his plain pasta, so he had an option.
Below the waffle, which he could have ordered more, but read on as to why we stopped.
Maybe this is why we find Windows to be the best brunch in Aruba,
I personally felt bad having to impost our son’s allergies onto the Chef who had to make special food due to his allergies.
But they welcomed Niko to order more and never made a single comment, and brought the food out with a smile! Kind, tasty and special.
There was a gap between the timing of the order (it is so busy) and what he could order, which is why I felt bad when he ordered more.
The waffle above is what he dined on and a pasta.
Food Allergies Brunch In Aruba
Honestly, it is very limited and if you have food allergies and brunch in Aruba, while they go above and beyond, I think this may not be your stop.
Where Niko Travels had a special set of waffles and a bowl of pasta. That was it. It was too busy to ask for more and we felt that.
Also, don’t forget, he has multiple food allergies, and as we were advised all of the food is prepared ahead with latex and no concern (as it should be) for cross-contamination.
He could not eat the pastries or the bread that was sent to the table due to nuts.
Most of the menu was off-limits too, so very restrictive and there are other more suitable options for the food he required.
Our Thanks
My thanks to Windows on Aruba for hosting us.
We had a very memorable and beautiful dining experience both at dinner and at brunch.
The staff is welcoming, warm, and kind.
They, in fact, go all out to make this the best dining experience you will have on the island and it is heavenly.
Scenery, coupled with a brilliant menu truly creates the quintessential brunch visit on the island.
Don’t forget to make a reservation and I suggest arriving when it opens as it does get busy!
Enjoy this fabulous restaurant with Windows from floor to ceiling.
May the sunshine on your day and the food taste spectacular ~ DANA XO
