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

    I loved my dirty martini, and the Caribbean mule my husband ordered was also v good. Greek salad was good but really tiny. Octopus with squid ink pasta was good but octopus a bit too chewy. My husban’s grouper was tasty and well prepared. Opera cake dessert seemed a bit stale - the cake was dry.

    Our waiter was so friendly. The staff assisted each other the entire evening. The food was everything! My husband had the potato soup and we both enjoyed the seafood mix. We had lava cake to top off the evening.. Don’t miss this fantastic restaurant.

    Calamari was an exceptional way to start off dinner. The red snapper, octopus and scallops were amazing. The chocolate lava cake was a nice ending to our meal. Staff was wonderful and very friendly. Would recommend stopping here if you are in aruba.

    Opus lived up to its fine reputation for our party of 4. Indoor dining with extremely attractive ambiance but somehow still felt open & casual. Room temperature was perfect with or without wrap. Creative, well presented/prepared food served with “joy”, in manner that might remind you of a classy backyard family gathering. Our busy hour arrival created a longer wait for entree than ideal, but all else overcame this flaw. Food highlights included the unusual Greek salad presentation, the red snapper filet, and the chocolate bomb dessert. Note - if you haven’t tried octopus, do so here….texture and flavor was a big positive surprise as an add-on to my snapper. We will return!
