Cafe 080 Aruba: Hollandse bar met late hapjes in Noord

The best choice for a real, authentic outdoor local dining and bar experience is Cafe 080. Japie (Jacob) is most welcoming and personable. This is only a ten minute drive from the Eagle Beach area (even closer from Palm Beach). The Fish and Chips and Flammkuchen (flat bead pizza- toppings vary by day of week) and Wings are all great options. Just because you may be staying near the beaches, don’t let that fact deter you from visiting Cafe 080. You will be happy you made the short trek.

Such a wonderful place to stop into on our first night. Everyone was so lovely, kind, and very attentive to our needs. Happy Hour was from 4-6 so we were able to try a few different drinks and the food was delicious! We got calamari to start, the mixed platter and the beep tips! Highly Recommend!

This Dutch style pub was and is a must go to. Warning!!!! The bitterballen are highly addictive. First time ever having them and became obsessed. They are delicious mouth sized bombs They were filled with the remoulade and pieces of beef meat. They match perfectly with any drink. My new favourite app while drinking. Tried their fish and chips, reminded me of that that old fashioned fish and chips. The batter and crisp were amazing, the fries were done well and the tartar sauce was delicious. The atmosphere is fun and local vibe. The staff are super friendly and extremely warm. The crowd seemed to always be chilled and down to earth. Great place to relax and have a drink and some pub bites to match. Happy hours are amazing here. Please make sure to ask for their housemade Pica de Papaya and you must buy a jar from them. Its super tasty and has some nice heat to it. Favourite pub on the island.

I had some fries while I watched a bit of the Netherland vs Sweden World Cup match. Fun atmosphere and everyone was representing in their orange. My first time trying Dutch style fries. The fries are topped with mayo, a slightly sweet ketchup, and chopped bits of onion. I had it with a chill beer. It was fun and the fries were good.

We’ve driven by this place frequently over the last few trips here but decided to try it out finally. Wish we had tried it sooner! Fantastic ambiance with outdoor seating and lighting. We were immediately greeted by the server who was very friendly. He let us know we could sit anywhere we liked. He made us feel like welcome guests immediately! The menu is Dutch/bar food. I got the zuurkool and my husband got the coconut shrimp. Both platters were fantastic. The zuurkool is mashed potatoes mixed with sauerkraut with either smoked sausage or a meatball. I got the meatball and it also came with gravy and mustard. Also service was quick and we were able to eat and get back home. Lovely fun atmosphere and they have a great playlist
