Tables set directly in the Caribbean at a fishermen's village in Savaneta — waves at the table edge, open-air kitchen, fresh seafood, and sunset views over the southern coast. Among the most atmospheric dinner setting in Aruba. Requires a car; reserve ahead.
Why It Belongs on the List
Flying Fishbone helped define the concept of toes-in-the-sand dining in Aruba — the restaurant is built over the water's edge in Savaneta, with tables set so close to the sea that the Caribbean laps at your feet. The menu is fresh seafood and international with cocktails; the sunset is spectacular; and the atmosphere on a warm evening with the water gently moving around you is among the finest dining settings in the Caribbean. A 20-minute drive from Palm Beach; book ahead, especially for sunset tables.
