Restaurants near Paarden Bay

We had a lovely dining experience. Order Chilean sea bass, Surf & Turf and ended with apple crumble for dessert. We were very pleased with our meal and cocktails: dirty martini and espresso martini. The staff here is absolutely amazing and so accommodating! Great ambiance too. I highly recommend and we will be back!

Our waitress Abby was so sweet & professional. The ambiance was nice overlooking the water & food was delicious. We are definitely going back.

Great ambience, very swanky! Great overall experience!

The food was exquisite! Perfect! Not one flaw! The drinks were a beautiful experience and the best tasting drunks I have ever had! The servers, waiters, bartender, manager and hostess were all welcoming and pleasant! This was hands down the best experience that I have ever had in any restaurant, in any country on any hemisphere!

This is our 12th time to Aruba and we always go to Madame Janette! When we arrived, the hostess mentioned our seating request and noted which table we had on our previous visit, asking if we wanted the same table! (A year ago) Our meal started with a couple of different German lagers (their beer menu is several pages long…). We chose lobster ravioli as our appetizer, and it was delicious. We both picked the almond grouper as our main course and we loved it; the topping of ribboned carrots and creamed spinach was yummy. Each dinner came with a side, so we chose creamed spinach and potatoes augratin. The portion sizes are generous. We have enough leftovers for a meal today. They also bring focaccia bread with two dipping sauces to the table as you enjoy a drink before ordering. One sauce was an oil/onion/chili pepper, and the other was garlic butter. Both were excellent…just try to not fill up on it before dinner! The service is attentive, and they’ve introduced an extra feature…there is a light on the table that provides a nice glow, and when you flip it, the light turns red. Within a minute of flipping it to red, someone will come to your table to address your needs (another drink, order dessert, get the check, etc). Excellent idea!! I wish more restaurants would do it. Make your reservations in advance - I normally book reservations before we fly in.
