King Fred & Princess Diana is a charming restaurant located in Aruba’s iconic Windmill area, a spot already known for its local character and warm island atmosphere. This cozy eatery brings together two well-known names in Aruba’s culinary scene: Princess Diana, famous for her delicious Dutch pancakes, and King Fred, the creative mind behind the acclaimed chef’s table restaurant 2 Fools and a Bull. Both were highly successful in their previous ventures, and their collaboration has resulted in a delightful concept that perfectly blends comfort, quality, and personality.
The restaurant serves breakfast in the morning and home-cooked comfort food for dinner, offering guests a relaxed and inviting place to enjoy great food at reasonable prices. Inside, the space is clean, bright, and quaint, with a friendly, laid-back charm that makes you feel right at home. The service is attentive, warm, and always delivered with a smile, adding to the welcoming experience.
For breakfast, we enjoyed Diana’s Breakfast Special, which included a plain Dutch pancake, scrambled eggs, a side of bacon, and iced tea — simple, well-prepared, and delicious. We also tried the Apple and Bacon Dutch Pancake with coffee, a combination that was both savory and sweet, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor.
Everything about King Fred & Princess Diana reflects the couple’s passion for food and hospitality. The dishes are fresh, hearty, and comforting, and the ambiance encourages you to linger and enjoy the moment. Whether you’re stopping by for a leisurely breakfast or planning to return for one of their home-style dinners, this new addition to the Windmill area is well worth a visit.
