Bucuti & Tara Sets the Table with a New Dine Around Experience
EAGLE BEACH, Aruba – March 2, 2022 – Aruba’s culinary scene is among the most food-forward and buzziest in the Caribbean.
Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort, Aruba, is inviting guests to explore Aruba's culinary with its all-new Dine Around experience.
Long ago, the resort intentionally chose not be all-inclusive with the purpose of encouraging guests to enjoy Aruba's treasures including its diverse, bountiful culinary scene. As part of its extensive commitment to sustainability, this promise provides support to local business and culture.
Savoring Aruba’s culture
When it comes to dining, sometimes planning takes longer than the dining itself. On an island of just 110,000 people, Arubans are a rich tapestry representing more than 90 nationalities. Knowing where to dine makes vacation planning even easier with the promise of vetted and endorsed selections. The following is the launch list of restaurants soon to be joined by others. Bucuti & Tara carefully selected each participating restaurant, which complements its in-house dining at Elements.
- Elements: Named among the Top 5 Best Caribbean Restaurants for 2022 by USA TODAY 10best, Bucuti & Tara’s own oceanfront restaurant offers Caribbean and European cuisine throughout its vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and world cuisine menus. The restaurant also holds a Wine Spectator Award for Excellence.
- Lucca Modern Trattoria: This a warm trattoria serves up modern Italian homemade pizzas and pastas combining fresh ingredients, Italian products and good vibes.
- Brutto Beach House: This urban-chic concept uses cooking concepts from around the world to create delectable "meals to share," with a menu highlighting sushi, meats, and seafood.
- Texas de Brazil Brazilian Steakhouse: Dine in the spirit of southern Brazilian cowboys with a legendary feast, or a churrasco, of flame-roasted meats on skewers and carved tableside, seasonal vegetable dishes, charcuterie and regional delicacies to complete this festive offering.
- Papillion Aruba: Sporting décor reminiscent of the famous 1974 movie, “Papillon,” starring Steve McQueen as areal-life French prisoner, the menu also reflects the Frenchman's arduous journey to freedom: classic French dishes with a daring Caribbean flair.
- Driftwood Seafood: Teaming Aruba’s fishermen with professional chefs, guests savor the freshest catch of the day from the island’s surrounding waters prepared authentically.
Easy to participate
The resort's nightly rate already includes full breakfast daily, so this new Bucuti & Tara Dine Around Program provides the opportunity to enjoy a half-board experience.
