Barefoot Restaurant

Barefoot is now our favorite place to eat in Aruba. We ate there on May 18, 2011.
First, the service is great and we really enjoyed talking to one of the owners Luc. Luc and his staff are VERY attentive.

I wish we could have personally thanked the Chef. The lobster, shrimp and scallops in lobster sauce was incredible. I normally do not write reviews, but this review is well deserved. I could list everything we tried, but my mouth is starting water just thinking about it. We enjoyed the food, wine and atmosphere.

Barefoot is a MUST when you visit Aruba. It was the best meal and overall dining experience that we had over the last 8 years that we have been visiting the island.

We loved this place and plan to add it to our list of "must eat at" places for future visits. This wss the location of Mirandi, another fine place to dine. So glad to see another great place open up at this incredible beach location. The huge dining palapa with feet in the sand seating adds to the magical ambiance, and the staff and food were top rate. Had the grouper and filet mignon feature. Others at our table were pleased with their choices too. Great music added a another special touch to our experience. Thanks!!! If I could rate higher than a 10 I would.

Wij hebben met smart gewacht om bij Barefoot te kunnen eten. Afgelopen twee weken op vakantie geweest op Aruba. En het was geweldig. Wij wisten wat de eigenaren in petto hadden, omdat ze bij Marandi hebben gewerkt. Maar wat zij in twee weken hebben bereikt: Chapeau. Eten is geweldig,wijnkaart uitstekend. Ook de bediening is top. Ambiance: kan (bijna) niet beter. Op het strand, of onder de talapa met bijna altijd de mooiste sunset. Door de aanwezigheid van de grote talapa kan je ook met eventuele regen uitermate comfortabel dineren in tegenstelling tot andere " strand gelegenheden zoals b.v.Passions.

Afgelopen 2 weken met gezin op vakantie geweest in Aruba.
Van tevoren al de tip gekregen van fervente Aruba gangers om ook eens een bezoek te brengen aan Barefoot.
Waar de vorige vakanties steevast Marandi met een bezoek werd vereerd hebben we dat dit jaar gedaan met Barefoot.
Zeer kind-vriendelijk, erg aardig en voorkomend personeel.Schitterende ambiance, uitstekende wijnkaart.
Zeer goede service en als ze het kunnen, vervullen ze al je wensen.
1 heel klein puntje van kritiek,zorg voor een adekwate en gevarieerd kinder menu.
( beetje ook onze eigen schuld als je in korte tijd daar 5x gaat eten :) )
Luc en Gerco hebben in korte tijd iets neer weten te zetten dat staat als een huis.
Het eerste wat wij doen als we volgend jaar weer terug gaan is reserveren bij Barefoot.
Groeten, Humphrey, Saskia, Floris en Maurits.

Wonderful View! Very quiet (except for jets landing- which was cool in the dark of the night); the sunset was beautiful. The staff was very friendly. The food was excellent. Little mix-up when they forgot our soup/salad but quickly corrected it.

The Barefoot Restaurant is a must on your visit to Aruba....the food was delicious and the atmosphere was beautiful! We really enjoyed our evening out at the Barefoot.

We dined at Barefoot with 14 people. The setting was beautiful, the food was fantastic. I highly recommend the Carribean Group or the Shrimp done in a Blue Cheese sauce (if you like Blue Cheese). They accomodated our 7 children, and the setting was just gorgeous. I highly recommend trying.

My family enjoyed Barefoot so much we went three times while on vacation. Breath taking views along with superb service.

Our last night of vacation was complete with a trip to Barefoot Restaurant. When you walk into the restaurant the ambience is beautiful. Soft lighting and tables on the beach or under a giant palapa. The service was excellent. The owner brought over the bottle of wine that we ordered and chatted with us as he opened it. Our server was excellent as well and all of the staff helped each other out. To start we had the lobster Cappuccino soup and the two tomato both excellent. For dinner the Caribbean grouper was my favorite! I wish I had some right now. For dessert was had the grand dessert which was a combo of treats. The Forrest berry soup, Chocolate mouse, and coffee cream burlee were to die for! Sooooo good. This restaurant was a highlight of our trip. It is a very relaxing and romantic environment.

We have now been to Barefoot 4 times in as many months and have loved each experience. The food is delicious and has lots of options (fish, meat, etc) and will alter or prepare any of their dishes to suit your wishes as we experienced.
The atmosphere and setting is first rate. The restaurant is partially outside but sits right on the beach so you get the best of both worlds with part of the inside having sections of the floor being sand.
Luc, the owner, is warm and personable and remembers his regulars and greets them with a big hug. It was nice to see this restaurant's success and it is a "must" on all of our trips to Aruba. It is in our top 2 places to go.
