Yemanja Woodfire Grill

Great food! The waiter brought a piece of GF bread for me w/o asking which was super nice. I felt there were a decent amount of GF options on the menu including Caribbean bbq combo. I had the crispy salmon which was phenomenal. We were even able to get GF crème brûlée :) definitely recommend

We went here after reading the reviews. The chef very carefully prepared my food. I react easily and also am allergic to corn. No issues. The food is fantastic!

This was delicious, one of the best meals I have had on the island, and dare I say in my lifetime. The menu is online and items that are gluten, dairy, nut or pork free are marked as well as any item that is vegetarian. The wait staff is also very helpful and knowledgeable and will point you in the correct direction if you have any questions.

I had the Caribbean BBQ platter, they switched out the calamari for another piece of fish, and they made a mistake which they noticed and corrected immediately. For dessert I had the Caribbean Dream which was also amazing.

Our waitress: Juvian, was very helpful and apologetic because of how long the wait was for food as well as how busy the restaurant was, but it was more than worth the wait.

Probably one of the best experiences while in Aruba. They are so knowledgeable about gluten free (even what cocktails and liquor to get). They had the best gluten free bread. All of our food was amazing and the quality is great. Would highly recommend!!!

I was in Aruba last week for a week with some friends - all of which are Celiac and I am also dairy free.We ate at Yemanja one night for dinner! As soon as we sat down the server tried to bring us regular bread and upon us saying we are gluten free, she took it away, only to come back with delicious gluten free bread a few minutes later! It also came with an olive tapenade that was delicious. The menu was labeled well and everything was delicious.

What an amazing experience! Absolutely a perfect night.

Started with freshly baked gluten free bread served with olive tapenade and garlic butter. Next we enjoyed a beautiful, and huge, wedge salad followed by potato truffle soup and French onion soup. We wrapped it up with shrimp creole and grilled seafood medley. For dessert we enjoyed flaming B52s.

Service was fantastic and very attentive. Every course was presented beautifully and the flavors were amazing.

I’m celiac and highly sensitive. Did not get sick at all.

I ordered GF salad and Nima test showed gluten was present in the dressing.

Celiac friendly?

No

Food is here is very good and they are very accommodating to Gluten free and they even brought gluten free bread to the table. Everything is marked on the menu and the server we had was very knowledgeable. The only reason I wouldn't give it five stars is that service was very slow. It took a really long time for our food to come out. Perhaps that was because they made it separately and carefully, but it took a long time. If you are on island time and don't care, then have a drink and enjoy. But if you are in a time crunch to do other things be aware it could be slow. In terms of gluten free options it is a 5 out of 5. But overall there are other good options with better service.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everyone has said really great things about this place and now I know why! Food was absolutely amazing (I got the seafood medley), menu was clearly marked what could be made gf, staff was very friendly, they brought me out gluten free bread which was really good and they even double checked to confirm dairy wasn’t an issue before doing so. I would definitely return in the future!!🙂

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing food! Manager brought out the gluten free plates. Even had a raw vegan snickers bar for dessert

Oh my gosh this place is amazing!! The menu is clearly labeled with tons of gf option and the food is absolutely delish! This a must have if you are in or visiting Aruba. We will be eating here a lot on our vacation. Just make sure to tell the waiter you are gluten free so they make sure you dish is adjusted accordingly.

Had a fantastic experience here! The staff was attentive and the food was delicious.

Celiac friendly?

This restaurant is amazing. The food and ambiance rival any top NYC dining experience. Both of our kids have Celiac (our daughter is extremely sensitive to any cross-contamination)and they both ate here safely and did not get sick. Our waiter and chef were very knowledgeable and aware of Celiac. The menu was clearly marked as to what could be made GF. Their GF bread was delicious. My son had the filet and mashed potatoes and my daughter had grilled shrimp. They loved it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

LOVED THIS PLACE!!!!! Most delicious food on the entire island in my opinion. They label everything on their menu with a little symbol indicating if it is nut free/gluten free/vegetarian. HOMEMADE GF BREAD! The waitress asked if there were allergies when taking our orders and never rushed with ensuring our order was perfect. Its a perfectly tucked away place as well. No road noise of any sort. Highly recommend a reservation in advance. We would go back in a heart beat

I love that there are gf options, but I’ve eaten here twice and was sick both times before I even left the restaurant???

Everything a GF diner could hope for. GF menu, educated friendly staff, made on premise GF rolls, food was amazing. Not cheap, but.

Celiac friendly?

Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. This may very well be the best meal I’ve ever eaten. I have celiac disease and am extremely sensitive and I have had no issues.

Celiac friendly?

Amazingly delicious! I'm gluten and dairy free and there were a ton of options. I had the Mediterranean quinoa salad as a starter, then the seafood medley with 4 shared sides (only one contained dairy, which I was warned about) and the raw vegan snickers bar for dessert. A dessert that isn't sorbet! They have sorbet too but the snickers bar was the bomb! And I had gluten free bread with olive tapenade. Great wine list and perfect service!
