Aruba’s newest restaurant has opened its doors.

It’s called ArubaVille, and the eatery is located at the former home of the Marandi restaurant.

After a “complete transformation,” the property, which is located behind the airport on Bucutiweg, focuses on food with a Caribbean flair.

Local Aruban chef Rawlin Silvania heads the kitchen, which puts out dishes from ahi tuna poke to zucchini stuffed with goat cheese.

The restaurant will also be featuring a weekly sunday barbecue and a Friday happy hour.
