About Lima Bistro
The cocktail programme is genuinely excellent. Pisco-based drinks are made properly with fresh citrus and house syrups. Furthermore, the atmosphere is lively and social without being overwhelming. The staff know the menu thoroughly.
What to Order at Lima Bistro
Start with the ceviche — fresh local fish cured in lime with rocoto pepper. It is made properly and not softened for tourist palates. For example, the grilled fish with aji amarillo sauce is a highlight for mains. The lomo saltado stir-fry earns repeat visits. The pisco sour is among the best in Aruba.
Tips for Your Visit
Lunch is quieter and more relaxed. Dinner fills up fast, especially on weekends. However, bookings for weekend dinners are strongly advised. The restaurant is in central Oranjestad.
