We passed by this restaurant and decided to give it a try. I didn't see Grouper on the menus so I decided to ask if they had any. I was glad I did. It was the best yet! Lightly cooked in a delicious but not too heavy sauce. The prices were reasonable for Aruba and the service was excellent. I... More

My wife Barbara and I have visited Aruba several times and we always try to take in a few new restaurants on our vacations. This year we discovered the Tulip at the MVC Eagle Beach and believe me when I tell you that we have discovered our favorite Aruban dining experience! We had driven by the place numerous times on...

This place was ok. walking distance from bucuti. we got there about 9 pm, the place was kind of dead. had the shrimp/chx combo. the proteins were good, but the side of rice and beans must have been made early that morning and left in the heater all day. Not the friendliest of service.

Tulip is not flashy or fancy....but it is a cute little restaurant with a lovely courtyard and really good food at decent prices. Service was impeccable (thank you Pauleti!) The catch of the day was Wahoo (my favorite) and it was cooked exactly how I asked (grilled with a side of lemon caper sauce). Just a very nice relaxing atmosphere... More

My friends, husband, and I had breakfast here our first day due to its convenience. The food was ok but the choice was limited. There were cereal, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, fruit, ham and cheese. It was fine if you didn't feel like making your own breakfast, but definitely nothing special.

Tulip is a somewhat quaint outdoor restaurant, in fact the ambience is rather charming. It was relatively near our hotel and we chose it because of its convenience as well as its favorable reviews on Trip Advisor. The specialty of the house was advertised as spare ribs so spare ribs is what we ordered. These were not your ordinary spare... More

We took friends with us this past time. Our friend had the grouper which she was said was delicious and the rest of... More

I'm not a gambler when it comes to dining. I usually stick with things I've tried before. The "Catch of the Day" listed on the menu board was always ignored by me until this day. The waitress described the meal and took a chance.... I did not regret my choice! The fresh Grouper was cooked to perfection. The portion was... More

Great service! Food was unbelievable. You must try the Mixed Grill platter. Theo, our server, he is awesome. The whole staff makes a great team. We will go back.
