Do you mean "top" as in expensive or ambience?<BR>When we went, El Gaucho had great steaks & interesting atmosphere. The Flying Fishbone is very romantic & memorable. No one has mentioned Twinklebones. The staff entertains & includes the diners in their act. Lots of fun!

Of all the restaurants I’ve tried in Aruba, I would list my overall favorite restaurants in this order (considering quality, cost and convenience):
1. Madam Janette’s (my personal favorite)
2. Chez Mathilde (best “dining experience”)
3. Chalet Suisse (best Sea Bass I’ve ever had)
4. Papiamento
5. Marandi (kinda far from Palm Beach)
6. Flying Fishbone (very far from anywhere)
7. Driftwood
8. Iguana Joes
9. Texas De Brazil
10. El Gauchos
11. French Steakhouse
12. Moombas
13. Smokey Joes
14. Que Pasa
15. Pirate’s Nest
16. Salt and Pepper
Note: I haven't tried any not listed above (e.g., Le Dome).

I think the best chef on the island is Chef Karsten from Madam Jeanette. Sit on the lawn. It gets hot on the porch.
Rio Steakhouse (we've not yet been there) is getting a lot of good reviews on the various Aruba boards.
Don't bother with La Trattoria at the lighthouse because the food is expensive, but not wonderful (though the view is nice)

We've just returned and here are our favorites (I think things have changed since this post started in 2002).
1) Le Dome
2) Tuscany (in the Marriott)
3) Madame Janette (ambiance is excellent; food is not)
4) El Gaucho
5) French Steakhouse
We stayed at Bucuti, and its restaurant is not good, and the wine list is appalling. The cold breakfast served in the Tara is excellent however.
