Hadicurari is one of those Palm Beach restaurants that serious food people know and tourists haven’t fully discovered. Tucked between the Marriott and Holiday Inn on J.E. Irausquin Boulevard, it’s a proper seafood restaurant with a genuine beach setting, reasonable prices, and a kitchen focused on the freshest daily catch.
The name comes from Hadicurari — Aruba’s traditional fishing beach nearby. The restaurant has been a local favourite for years, and the regulars who fill tables every weeknight prove it.

The Menu
The menu centres on fresh local catch — grilled, blackened, or fried — plus Caribbean lobster, shrimp, and a daily special based on the morning’s haul. The red snapper done blackened is a standout. Portions are generous and the preparation lets the fish speak for itself.
Starters worth ordering: the fish soup (thick, rich, deeply flavoured) and the conch fritters. Ask the staff what’s freshest — they’ll steer you right.
The Setting
Tables sit right on Palm Beach — casual, comfortable, no dress code. The kind of place where locals take family visiting from overseas, because it delivers without pretension.
