Wanna treat your dog to a fancy birthday celebration? Elements at Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort is the place to do it!
As soon as I found out that Elements Restaurant launched a Dog Menu I knew I had to take my dog Ramón there, and what better occasion than his 2nd birthday?
Finding a place where to have dinner with your dog as your plus one is not easy, since we may have less than a handful of pet-friendly restaurants in Aruba, but things are changing with new options appearing, slowly but surely...
The Culinary Team at Elements, the signature restaurant of the Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort, thought of everything when creating their Dog Menu. A 3-course meal and woah, what a meal! Ramón was the happiest and fanciest dog that day.
Whether it is beef or chicken your dog's favorite, they have made several options, making sure all ingredients and preparations are dog friendly, without any additives or seasonings that could hurt them, it is never a good idea to feed your pets with food made for humans, they don't respond well to high sodium and many ingredients could be toxic or give them allergies.
The Dog Menu Experience.
The five-star treatment starts once you get to your table. A fresh water bowl is placed close so you don't have to worry about bringing a water bottle or asking for a cup. Dogs usually get thirstier when they are in a new place or around unusual environments, so more than ideal.
Here is a screenshot of the menu, which can be found on Element's Website
I chose the Puppy Feast, based on Ramón love for chicken. It comes with basmati rice, grilled chicken, some avocado, some olives, carrots, tomatoes, and some cheese, just a dash... the portion is huge. We got too excited and forgot to take a good picture, but you'll get the idea. $8
You can't make a dog eat something they don't like, but look here he was enjoying it to the max.
A while later and two martinis in (hey! The parents and friends get to have some fun too!) the dessert arrived, a special piece of cake for dogs. I thought he was too full to eat it but that assumption was a mistake, the whole thing was gone in seconds. The cake was complimentary.
The restaurant looks better than ever. They just reopened the indoor area after a full renovation and it is looking fantastic, the booths look like a great spot, especially for brunch, which I will be reviewing soon.
The deck area is probably where you'll want to sit, with sunset views, breeze, and background music at low volume... this is a place for unwinding and relaxing.
The drinks were top too, the Beach Club Clover with Gin, raspberry purée, raspberry liqueur, citrus juice, and egg white was thoroughly enjoyed. Drinks are around $12
There you have it, short and sweet. Ramón's 2nd birthday could have not been better! The Elements' team really made us feel welcomed and at ease. Every step of the experience was great, especially thanks to Shakim who gave us flawless service.
Please take note that Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort and Elements Restaurant is an Adults-Only, cashless, and no-groups (6 people max) establishment if you want to plan your dog's bday dinner.
Special Thanks to Crescenzia Biemans and the F&B Team, Nicolás Nelmaceff, and Chef Federico Martín for making it all happen. We couldn't be more grateful.
