4.5 / 5.0(1,845 reviews)

A place I go to every year visiting Aruba. I always get the Almond Grouper fish, it’s so delicious! I got the side, a potato grout, that was amazing, would highly recommend, get it every time. My wife got the Schnitzel Vienna Style, also get that every time, very good. We also got some yummy martini drinks as well. I got the watermelon one very refreshing. This was the first time we were able to catch a live singer at Madame’s. Because we have two younger children, we’re not able to stay very late. But the family was good this time so we were able to enjoy. Plenty of seating in the outdoor patio area and inside as well, a very comfortable environment! I recommend making a reservation in advance. Come to enjoy a nice dinner evening, enjoy! Family of four for 6pm reservation on Friday. The dinner crowd wasn’t there yet and we chose to sit outside. Great atmosphere, nice breeze and shade from trees. Drinks were great. Appetizer was bitter ballen (spelling). Entrees were great! Waitress and staff also wonderful and helpful. Solo live musician was spot on. We really enjoyed our meal. Leave room for dessert. It was incredible! The best restaurant in Aruba without a doubt. I have been coming to Aruba for 29 years and we come here every single time. Almond grouper is the best. Shrimp casserole is amazing.

Our first visit to Madame Janette did not disappoint. I was worried about the completely outdoor seating but the canopy of trees kept the area free of direct sun exposure. The wine list had many selections and the mark up was typical for most restaurants in Florida. The portions were huge and flavorful to the palate. Spicy sauces with interesting blends of flavor. We had Grouper (highly recommend), beef tenderloin, tortellini, and the Sea Bass - all were extremely satisfied with their choice. A musician maintained an upbeat - chilled vibe playing familiar tunes but not did not interfere with conversation at the table. Service by Zuzy by request but she was clearly stretched to the max. My only comment would be to suggest getting the check to the table without prolonged delay when guests are ready to depart. Will definitely visit again!

Renowned for its quality fine cuisine which I tested and indeed it is true. I chose it to be the final dining experience for my stay in Aruba. If it were not for the bad live music I would have rated them at a five! The atmosphere is great (an experience) yet the live singer did not do justice to it! Service was slow and long time between entries. The Vienna Schnitzel is the biggest, most delicious I ever had. Make sure you try the Carpaccio as an appetizer. Almost any type of beer in Europe will be there!
