Frommer's Review

This warm, appealing restaurant showcases home-cooked Aruban specialties. Set in a traditional island homestead, Nos Cunucu boasts thick, whitewashed walls, Shaker-like furniture, and checkerboard tile floors. The intimate open-air dining room is neat and informal. So is the food. Aruban fish soup with lemongrass, mezze (fish cakes), and cheese pastechis (deep-fried turnovers) are good appetizers. Recommended main courses include fish, chicken, or beef curry, steak crioyo, Caribbean lobster, mixed seafood, and the popular keshi yena (chicken and Gouda cheese baked with onions, peppers, olives, raisins, and cashews). Most dishes come with fried bananas and funchi (corn polenta) or pan bati (corn bread). Have caramel flan or cheesecake for dessert.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
