Bingo is a welcoming local spot in Aruba that offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Inside, it feels warm and cozy, complete with the charm of a fireplace TV on the wall, while the outdoor area is airy and surrounded by greenery, though it does overlook the parking lot.
The service is excellent—staff are attentive and genuinely aim to please. The menu is impressively diverse, complemented by a solid cocktail list and a good wine selection. Portions are generous, with the nice option of ordering half portions on many dishes. Dinner begins with freshly baked rolls served with butter, which were very good.
For appetizers, the Shrimp à l’Escargot stood out as one of the most flavorful starters I’ve ever had—pan-fried shrimp baked in herb and garlic butter, finished au gratin with gouda cheese. The Chorizo Mozzarella Melt was another hit, featuring Spanish sausage baked with mozzarella, tomato sauce, and a basil dressing—rich and full of flavor.
For mains, the Grouper was excellent—perfectly pan-fried and paired with lobster sauce and mashed potatoes. The Bingo! Brochette offered a choice of marinated chicken, beef, or pork skewers; I opted for the beef. It came with peanut sauce (not my favorite), a fresh mixed salad, and curly fries.
Overall, the meal was very satisfying—flavorful, well-prepared dishes in a relaxed, friendly setting. We will definitely return to Bingo on future visits to Aruba.
