The Chophouse Aruba - Timeless Steakhouse Elegance at Manchebo

For decades, Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa has set the pace for Aruba's culinary scene, and The Chophouse continues that legacy with a fresh, contemporary dining room, gleaming tableware, and experienced servers who know how to make every evening feel special. Steps from Eagle Beach, this cashless fine dining experience showcases premium South American beef, island-inspired plates, and international favorites crafted by Executive Chef Jeffrey Wouters.

A Menu Rooted in Tradition & Innovation

Start with beef tataki drizzled in truffle aioli, classic escargots sautéed with Pernod, or an authentic keshi yena—a nod to Aruba's heritage with baked stuffed cheese, chicken, plantain, and fried polenta. Seafood lovers gravitate toward Caribbean shrimp cocktail, calamari rings, and portobello ravioli, while the soups and salads feature house specialties like French onion soup and Caprese with buffalo mozzarella.

Seafood, Poultry & Vegetarian Highlights

• Seafood Pasta – Shrimp, mussels, calamari, and fish of the day in creamy lobster sauce

• Chicken Breast – Corn-fed, bone-in, served with porcini mushroom sauce
