Elements - Oranjestad

We just finished lunch here and it was amazing. we tried the vegan woof soup, the auberginen arempas, and the gnocchi we also got the tofu train mi, but sent her back) everything was great and the prospects were fantastic.

We had the 6-course vegan dinner and it was always better with each cure.

This restaurant is popular during sunset and a great place for special occasions. I wasn't blown away by the food, particularly given it was supposed to be gourmet. I ordered gnocchi in a tomato sauce with vegetables (unfortunately, the gnocchi tasted store-bought and not the softer, homemade gnocchi I've had in restaurants before) and my partner ordered a lentil steak' (a soft pattie) with grilled vegetables and a flavourless mashed potato round. We felt it was pretty pricey for such simple food, but the portions were okay. The appetizer of garbanzo bean and palm heart fritters were tasty, but the eggplant arepas weren't that interesting in flavor (we only ordered them because the avocado dish wasn't available). The best thing on the menu was actually the carrot cake with delicious almond-flavoured ice cream and strawberries. It was a decent portion too.

Elements had a full gourmet vegan menu including dessert.. Combined with the great sunset view on the beach it was a fantabulous experience. (The gourmet vegan selection at Ike's next door was maybe even better but the view is better at Elements.. Can't go wrong with either.

We had an amazing meal, met some amazing people and enjoyed the beach setting. Hard to top this place.
