About

Club Margot operates inside the Tamarijn resort on the Palm Beach strip, but it's not your typical all-inclusive buffet. The space pitches itself as upscale international, and the perfect subratings — atmosphere, service, and value all at 5.0 — back that up. Food sits at 4.7, which is still well ahead of most hotel dining rooms on the island. At #125 out of 316 in Oranjestad, it's mid-pack citywide but punches up within its category. The $$ - $$$ range suggests you're paying slightly more than casual, though given the resort setting, that's expected. Eleven reviews is a thin sample, but when every rating lands that high, the kitchen and front-of-house are clearly doing something consistent. If you're staying at Tamarijn or just want a quieter dinner away from the high-traffic strips, it's worth checking. Families are welcome, and no reservation is required, though calling ahead during high season never hurts.

Calabria Trattoria at TripAdvisorPalm Beach●●●○© Q3638MNtracyh via TripAdvisor

Calabria Trattoria

Calabria sits in the Metro Mall complex on Palm Beach, which isn't the setting you'd expect for the #3 restaurant in the area. The draw is straightforward: Italian food prepared the way travelers say it should be, without the upscale dress code or the markup. The 4.9 on food isn't common at this price tier, and the subratings hold across service and value, which explains the ranking among 155 competitors. The kitchen sticks to Italian and pizza, and regulars mention authenticity more than ambiance — this is casual island dining, not a date spot. Families show up. Groups show up. The vibe works if you care more about what's on the plate than what's on the walls. One practical note: at least one diner reported a service fee added to the bill despite the menu stating otherwise, so check the total before you settle up. Reservations help.

Lola Taqueria

Lola Taqueria is tucked into a strip along Palm Beach's high-rise corridor, but it doesn't feel like hotel dining. The Mexican and international menu pulls off something tricky — it's casual enough for families mid-vacation, but the food scores nearly as high as the atmosphere, which is saying something given the 4.9 subrating. The Travelers Choice nod and top-15 ranking among 155 restaurants in the Palm-Eagle Beach area aren't decorative; over 2,000 reviews hold a 4.7 average, and that kind of consistency across service, value, and taste doesn't happen by accident. It's the kind of place where you can walk in without a reservation and not feel like you're compromising. The price sits in the mid-range, and the room skews relaxed without sliding into generic beach-town taco joint territory. If you're staying on the strip and want something better than the hotel buffet without driving across the island, this is the move.

Papillon Restaurant

Papillon sits in The Village shopping center across from the Hilton on Palm Beach, and it's been collecting the #6 spot among 155 restaurants in the area for good reason. The kitchen runs French technique through a Caribbean filter — European fundamentals with island ingredients — and the 4.6 food rating holds across 2,400+ reviews. It's upscale without feeling stiff; the atmosphere scores slightly lower than the food, but that's splitting hairs at this level. Service matches the kitchen at 4.6, which matters when you're spending top-tier money. The Travelers' Choice award for 2025 confirms what the ranking already suggested: this is a consistent performer in a crowded Palm Beach scene. Value comes in at 4.3, which is fair — you're paying for execution and location, not for a deal. It's not a kid-friendly setup, so plan accordingly. Reservations aren't required according to the data, but walking in on a Saturday during high season is your own gamble.
