Buccaneer Restaurant

Description:

A legendary landmark of Aruba for the past 38 years of operation, owned and run by the Munzenhofer family, who built the restaurant in 1980.The vision of the late Josef Munzenhofer Sr., a German chef who wanted his business to reflect the heartfelt love he had for his adopted home island of Aruba. This labor of love was built by father and son, and together they created the unique underwater grotto ambiance with the gorgeous indoor 18,000-gallon wall to wall aquarium that this spot has become famous for. Today, Josef Jr. is happily at the helm of The Buccaneer, carrying on the family tradition of serving the freshest locally-caught fish and seafood with a tropical flair in a fun and friendly maritime atmosphere. But he’s also ensuring they keep up with the times. Josef says, “We’re delighted to announce a brand new menu incorporating the talents of our executive chef for the past 4 years James Rogan who delights the guest’s taste buds and has people raving on Trip Advisor about the dining experience. Our restaurant highlights a mix of our standard favorites along with some forward-thinking avant-garde cuisine. And just because we have a nautical theme doesn’t mean we don’t also specialize in other favorites. We also make magic with poultry, lamb, Angus-cut beef, pasta and even duck, we also have vegatarian, kids menu and specialize in special dietary entrees! Come and taste for yourself”
