L'Avenue Belgian Bistro

Authentic Belgian Cuisine in Paradise

Nestled in The Cove at J.E. Irausquin Blvd 384-A in Noord, L'Avenue Belgian Bistro transports diners to Belgium amid Aruba's tropical allure. The menu celebrates hearty staples like moules-frites in white wine, Provençale tomato broth, or Belgian brune beer, alongside Flemish beef stew simmered in dark beer with onions and carrots. Seafood shines with Dover sole fillets herb-crusted and served with potato leek mash, while USDA Black Angus cuts including bavette, tournedos, and côte de bœuf come with Belgian fries and sauces like peppercorn or tableside Archiduc.

Signature Dishes and Tableside Theater

Standouts include drunken rabbit slow-cooked in kriek beer with bacon and mushrooms, scampi L'Avenue over spaghetti in spicy cream sauce, and Zeebaars Caribbean seabass with peas and spinach. Lunch offers salads like Brussels sprout with bleu cheese and bacon, plus sandwiches and savory waffles. Desserts feature flaming crepe Suzette and Belgian waffles with berries and cream. Tableside preparations of Angus tartar and crepes add dramatic flair, paired with over a dozen artisanal Belgian beers in signature glasses.

Elegant Yet Casual Ambiance

The bistro's sleek upscale interior displays Belgian beers with personal mugs, complemented by air-conditioned indoor seating or breezy outdoor patio under candlelight. Service is impeccable, with staff like Suzan, Andres, and CJ noted for attentiveness, menu knowledge, and accommodating dietary needs such as gluten-free modifications.
