Est. San Nicolas Art Walk
From Jamaica to Aruba's Sunrise City
Chef Oneil Williams left Jamaica and spent years perfecting his craft in Aruba's finest Palm Beach resorts. But he had a vision: bring that level of quality to San Nicolas, the sunrise side of the island.
He opened O'Niel Caribbean Kitchen right in the heart of the Art Walk, knowing that this neighborhood deserved world-class Caribbean food. Today, people drive 45 minutes from the resort area just to eat here.
One of Aruba's only black-owned restaurants, and proud of it.
