An intimate local family ran restaurant in the heart of Oranjestad, fresh world-class seafood, prime steaks,
and unparalleled service in a vibrant, up-scale setting.

Opus experience wouldn't be possible without our local farmers and fisherman’s. Produce delivered daily keeps our menu fresh and connected to the land and ocean. A taste of Aruba infused with a Mediterranean culture in every bite. Depending what ingredients the ocean provides us, our chefs will create flavors inspired by our culture. Fresh fish brought directly to the restaurant where it is served whole or filleted and served within 24 hours. Wide variety of local fish for our guest to choose

    The size of our party changed at the last minute, but we were happily accommodated. Kenny was an attentive, courteous and good humoured waiter. The food was delicious and the slow pace of our lunch was exactly what we wanted. Bravo Opus!

    This seafood restaurant in Aruba is a must-visit! Since Aruba is known for its lobster, we had to try the lobster and clam pasta—and it did not disappoint. The dish was absolutely delicious, with fresh, tender lobster and perfectly cooked pasta and clams in a flavorful sauce. Every bite was rich and satisfying. The flan dessert truly elevated the meal, offering a satisfying, indulgent end to a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone with a sweet tooth looking for a classic treat done right. The atmosphere was great, and the service was excellent. If you’re in Aruba and love seafood, this place is definitely worth checking out!

    Once again, our yearly visit to Opus was outstanding and Kevin our Waiter we’ve had for the past 3-4 years is always a delightful face to see. The food is delicious and the staff is so friendly. Until next year, my friends.

    My husband and I had a wonderful time at Opus. The hostess who greeted us was very friendly. But he felt very welcomed from the start. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly, the food was spectacular and the young lady that was singing was excellent. We decided at the end of our dinner, that we would come back tonight which would be our last night in Aruba. We cannot wait to be back.
