Bohemian Bar & Restaurant

Restaurant French restaurant Mediterranean restaurant

😐 Bohemian is just OK. The food itself is fine, not overly amazing but not bad. It’s very hot and the way the restaurant is situated you get none of the island breeze, so I HIGHLY recommend sitting as close to a fan as possible. Their cocktails are great, but service in general is slow. I’ve been here... People often mention Aruba, restaurant, recommend, good, Bohemian, live, amazing, music, atmosphere, delicious,

    Bohemian is just OK. The food itself is fine, not overly amazing but not bad. It’s very hot and the way the restaurant is situated you get none of the island breeze, so I HIGHLY recommend sitting as close to a fan as possible. Their cocktails are great, but service in general is slow. I’ve been here a couple of times and have felt the same after every visit.

    We chose to eat at Bohemian on the last night of our honeymoon and we are so glad we did! The food is delectable… super fresh, cooked to perfection, and plated beautifully. The staff was very attentive and sweet. The ambiance here is unlike anything else I’ve ever experienced... like you’re dining in a lush, intimate tropical oasis. We we were even brought out an unexpected dessert with a sparkler as a newly wed celebration which was very thoughtful... Bohemian made us feel so special and loved and we can't recommend it here enough! Love, love, LOVE!

    Bohemian is fairly new to us but we love it already~food is amazingly deliscious and with ample selection. Service was great at end , it’s started slow🙏And Manager is very helpful. For me, the ambiance is so gorgeous and could be romantic in the garden with warm hanging lights and feels so , secluded and or feels like, you are on your own private place( they just strategically, place table setting , some under the huts, some divided by a huge tree and some are in the open specially right in the bar and live music, playing instrument/sand or DJ . Worth your time and highly recommended🙏

    A must go for dinner! Our waitress Patricia was the best! The food was delicious! The truffle mashed potatoes were delicious - BUT you need to like truffle because it is very powerful. The tbone steak was as amazing and so were the lamb chops. And the drinks even better! I love the old fashioned and the blueberry cocktail.

    I have been visiting the island of Aruba for 30 years, and a few years ago, I first visited Bohemian, which is on the main drag of restaurants on Palm Beach, Aruba. What I immediately noticed during that prior visit was the jungle atmosphere and the live music. This year I am in Aruba for a month, and a friend and I just went back to Bohemian on Saturday night for dinner at 9pm and to watch the DJ. The atmosphere was cool, the music was good, and we saw many different types of parties from honeymooners of all ages to large families and groups. You should go check out Bohemian, if not or the food, at least for a drink and the live music, which ranges from singing to saxophone during the week and a live DJ from 9-11pm on Fridays and Saturdays.

    It’s my favorite restaurant in Aruba, I went back to Aruba and this restaurant was one of my to do list in Aruba. Everything was perfect, people were so nice and the owner came himself to check on our experience. I really love this place and can’t wait to go back to Aruba. Also the tables were so clean and ready for seating. They usually have live music or DJ.

    Had an amazing time at bohemian bar and restaurant. It was very nice to sit outside in the warm tropical weather of Aruba. Also the staff was really kind. But perhaps the most important thing, the food, and that was amazing, especially compared to the often overpriced restaurants in the area. Anyone who is searching for a good and affordable place to eat in Aruba, do it here👍🏻

    Hands down the best dinner I had on the island. So many places were suggested and recommended to us, we found this one on our own and could not have been happier. Amazing service, unique menu options, better than anything we ate. (Yes...we went to all the other highly recommended places that I won't list here because I'm not bashing them, but this is just a can't miss spot!)

    Highly recommend. This was the best tasting food I had during my trip to Aruba which says a lot cause all the food I had was good. I ordered the Rack of Lambs with mashed potatoes, it came with mushroom sauce and roasted veggies as well. I would go back to Aruba just for this restaurant!

    When in Aruba a must. The night we were there live music filled the restaurant. The food is creative and flavourful. Attention to detail, the bread was served warm, rubbed with garlic and a olive spread. They cater to all, even several vegetarian options. Don’t forget desert, you will not be disappointed. The owner is on site overseeing all.

    Food entrees was fine, but not as tasty as other restaurants we went to in Aruba. I think for this area it’s how it might be. Annoyed that they tried to pass off coffee twice as espresso until I kept complaining and finally they admitted that something was wrong with their machine and coffee supply. However, it’s possible they normally do this. Ambience was great. However, when being sit, select a seating area with a fan pointing in your direction, especially as it’s usually hot. It’s pricey, but this type of restaurant usually is. The live traditional music that night was a good experience. The lobster bisque is same broth used for the bouillabaisse. Therefore, don’t get those two things together. Clams are tiny in seafood soup. Deserts and drinks are very good and worthwhile. Get the lava cake and the apple tart. I did it once and good to try, but no need to go back. The pictures show the lobster bisque in an espresso cup. I don’t recommend it.

    Must visit on your trip to Aruba! We could not count the number of people that recommend Bohemian to us and we're glad we could make it. The food was undoubtedly amazing but the highlight was the atmosphere! Loved the ambiance and the live music made the night even better! We had the Grilled Octopus and the Spciy Moroccan Mahi-Mahi kebabs. The Grilled Octopus is a must order! For desserts, we had the Apple Tart and Profiterols and both were absolutely delicious!

  • 5/5 Mariana R. 4 months ago on Google
    Excellent place. I definitely recommend it. We ordered duck and it was incredible. We ordered paella too and a French wine called Le domain d l’ebeque or something like that which was amazing. Service is excellent. People really polite and professional. The place is beautiful with candles and lights in the middle of a beautiful garden. We would firmly recommend it and we would come back.

  • 5/5 Carlos L. 3 months ago on Google New
    Very good. One of the best restaurants on the island. I always go when my daughters visit me. I love Paella (the best of Aruba), octopus and lamb. The sangria is delicious.

    Pretty good restaurant to checkout while in Aruba. There is a very nice unique outdoor atmosphere. The menu is pretty extensive so you can literally find any type of protein that you might be looking for. The service was a bit slow as multiple times we had to wait over 15-20 minutes just to get more water but overall it was a good experience.

  • 5/5 Anita Mohan S. 11 months ago on Google
    This restaurant is relatively new but has become a staple each time we visit Aruba. It is walking distance from the Palm Beach hotels. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful and filled with plants. The vibe of the restaurant turns into a party as it gets late into the night, with signing and dancing. The food has always been excellent. The menu changes and we get different things each time. We have never had a bad meal at Bohemian from start to finish. Their apps are delicious, their main courses are so good that everyone should share so you can try all of the flavors. The desserts are spectacular. Until next time!

    This is a must place to visit when you arrive in Aruba. Staff is very friendly and inviting, but....... the FOOD.... is amazing! You are greeted with such warmth, I call the owner our buddy! Musts: Whole Red Snapper Smoked Old Fashion Lemon Drp Martini

    We had an excellent meal, and the cheese cake was "Tremendo" as the locals would say or terrific. Really enjoyed it. Waitress was really attentive and helped us choose the best meal possible. Glad that we made reservations and were early. When we left there was quite the queue outside

  • 4/5 AJ M. 6 months ago on Google
    Fairly good food. The banana ice cream with the lava cake was pretty great. Service was excellent. Only downside was the very large mouse that went running across the string of lights directly above our heads. It's an open air resturant so it's not a huge surprise but it wasn't a pleasant sight during dinner.

  • 5/5 Sylvia M. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow, wow wow!!! Impeccable service and the food was out of this world. Our water glasses never stayed empty. The staff was extremely attentive and very friendly. The atmosphere was trendy and beautiful. If you visit Aruba this is a place to be! We loved everything from start to finish. I would give this place 10 stars if I could.

  • 5/5 Alexis K. 1 year ago on Google
    DJ made our dining experience here amazing! The atmosphere was super fun, felt like we were in a jungle. We came here three times, the cheese board, creme brûlée and lava cake are incredible! I highly recommend trying this restaurant out.

  • 5/5 LaJoy C. 2 years ago on Google
    My husband and I just came back from vacationing in Aruba and this restaurant was one of the highlights of our stay. The atmosphere is beautiful, the staff are friendly and very welcoming. The food is delicious and came out really fast. Everyone apart of our dinner party was extremely satisfied with the food, drinks and service. I can't wait to go back!

  • 5/5 Diana N. 2 years ago on Google
    I absolutely loved this place and recommend everyone to go here. The atmosphere is super chill and fun. The staff is friendly. The owner even came around and asked about our experience. The food is delicious and portions were big! They have plenty of seating. There was a dj playing when we went but sometimes they also have live band. Can’t wait to go back to Aruba and return to this place.

  • 5/5 Sarah Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing meal and ambiance! The food was delicious especially the gambas and can’t go wrong with the lava cake + banana ice cream! The staff was highly attentive & they came to check on us or clear our plates at the perfect times. I would highly recommend dining at bohemian or even coming for just a drink because the decor and vibes are on point

👍👍 This is my favorite restaurant in Aruba! The ambiance is literally a dream - I wish I could make my backyard look like this. They have such soothing live music.
