5 stars. Absolutely amazing dinner from Chef Ricardo! This food was great and the ambience was appreciated. He even gave the table homemade sorbet. The waiter did a great job as well.
This was the best creme brulee I’ve had in a while, I order them at almost every high-end steak restaurant and this is at the top.
This was our last day here in Aruba and the perfect final meal to end this trip. Highly recommend.

Bottom Line: Run! Do not walk to Bogarts!! The food is fresh from scratch with bold vivacious flavors. It was so delicious we went 2 nights in a row! The Chef is Michelin Star ranked and his food proves it. The prices are pretty standard for Aruba but a steal for Michelin quality!
1st Night- we went with a big group of people.
Our waitress Nadea (spelling?) was fantastic! She was prompt, easy to talk to and gave wonderful recommendations. One of the couples in our group ordered the Chateaubraind and said it was the best meal they have had in Aruba. I had a taste of the Bogart’s Polpettes and the sauce was nothing I have ever tasted before. The flavor was rich and velvety. It did not disappoint. All of the pasta is made in house, all by hand. No automatic rollers or cutters. I had the Spinach Ravioli, self explanatory, right? It was so light but filling. And lastly the Creme Brûlée, the creamiest most decadent creme brûlée l’ve ever had.
2nd night- just as amazing as the first night.
Apps-Caesar salad (to die for!) and the Foie Gras
Dinner- the duck breast and filet
Sorbet is made fresh daily. First night we had passion fruit and mango. Second night it was a mojito sorbet! Both extremely refreshing.
The Chef came to our table (and others) to check in and speak with guests. He even offered to make something off menu if we wanted.
Next time we are in Aruba we will be headed straight here!

Do not sleep on this restaurant. We had a fabulous meal here 2 nights in a row. Chef Ricardo came out to greet us and explain specials and offered to customize things for a member of our party who didn’t like an ingredient. I got the meatballs at pasta and let me tell you- fabulous. Homemade pasta. To die for. Night 2, I got the filet and it was absolutely incredible. He finished it off with 2 unique sorbets that were savory and a great pallet cleanser. The drinks were fabulous, I got a spicy margarita. Our server was Neida, who was so amazing and friendly and made recommendations and was helpful with everything! If you are on vacation in Aruba in Noord, GO SEE THESE PEOPLE. You will not regret it. Can’t say enough good things about Bogarts and Chef Ricardo.

A must when in Aruba, a delightfully intimate dining experience. Every detail to menu and wine pairing were spot on. Interesting menu with many hidden flavors in each plate.
Add to that a beautiful singing voice as you are enjoying your dining experience
Can’t wait to return, Best of luck to you both in the future

We tried Bogarts and our meals were excellent. The lobster risotto was exceptional and probably the best I’ve ever eaten. My salmon was cooked perfectly. The Caesar salad was very good and a bit different than others I’ve had, there was, I believe, a scotch egg on it. Made for a great texture combination. Our server, Neida, was very pleasant, knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere was pretty cool. There are Bogart murals as well as a Marilyn Monroe and Steven Tyler. The chandeliers and tables give you the feel of being in a 1940s speak easy. Really had a great vibe.

Tried Bogarts tonight and our dinner was delicious. We were a party of 8 and everyone loved their food. So good. And the dessert was also delicious. They were really good with my gluten allergy and so flavorful. They also had vegan options. Cocktails r bomb. They had great live music and the vibe was very chill. Would definitely go back.

What an extraordinary expierence! Dont sleep on this one. Chef Ricardo is as talented as they come. His passion and heart for good cuisine shines through each course he delivers. Yvette, the sommelier is equally talented, providing perfectly paired wines and cocktails for each dish, with expert knowledge of everything she delivers to your table including wines and liquors from around the world.
Their personal touch, getting to know their guests make you feel as though you are dinning with old friends.
Every dish was perfectly mastered to accompany the palette. This expience alone may be the reason I will put this island on my regular visit list!
