What is Aruba's breakfast like?

Answer 1

When I went to Aruba, they ate the same foods that Americans ate, Eggs, sausage, omelettes, bagels, coffee, pastries cakes etc. cereal, Orange Juice. whatever it is that you would like to eat for breakfast, you can eat it at Aruba too!

Of course I stayed at a Marriott property but all the restaurants seemed to offer the same things.

Answer 2

A traditional favorite for breakfast in Aruba is pastechi. It's similar to an empanada or a turnover. Varieties include seafood ['pastichi di pisca'], cheese ['pastechi di keshi'], and ground beef with raisins ['pastechi di carni'].

Pastechis are available at roadside snack trucks and huts as early as 6:30 a.m. Pastechis are even available at such fast food places as Burger King, McDonald's, and Wendy's during breakfast hours on Aruba. But pastechis aren't just for breakfast. They're popular throughout the day.

LocaLisa, a very knowledgeable moderator on Aruba Forums at Visit Aruba, shares an entertaining, hilarious tale of pastechi's 'less popular sister,' 'Orea di Pastechi' ['pastechi ears'].
