ARUBA – During their graduation year, the students of EPB, the local basic professional training high school, need to practice what they learned, while interacting with each other and clients in real-life restaurant situations. The Aloe Restaurant and its professional commercial kitchen is where these students train and invite the general public to enjoy a three-course lunch for only Afl. 25.00 per person, every Tuesday and Wednesday to work towards their diploma. Lunch is served every Tuesday and Wednesday from noon to 2 p.m. starting October 21st, 2014 until November 19th, 2014 when they go on break for the holidays. The restaurant opens back on January 06th, 2015 and close March 11th, 2015, at the end of the academic year.
In the kitchen, Chef Orlin Geerman and Chef Reynaldo Maldonado call the shots, while François Maduro coaches the front of the house staff.
The Chefs, with extensive experience in the food and beverage arena, truly enjoy working with the enthusiastic students.
Together the service and kitchen teams will deliver a great lunch experience. It will also be a pleasure for you, to enjoy this opportunity to share these ambitious young people’s future and to actively contribute to their training as the island’s future hospitality professionals.
