Madame Janette

Make a reservation! I felt like we were in the bayou of New Orleans. Delicious cocktails, amazing service and the Bang Bang Shrimp was the best! They also have the biggest burgers we have EVER eaten. Loved it 😍

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!

The food was good, but I wasn’t blown away. The ceviche was very fresh, bread was excellent, & they had a large wine and beer selection. I got the Caesar salad as a meal and added chicken. The chicken was excellent! The salad was just okay. I tried my husbands Schnitzel, which was fine & my mothers Red snapper which was quite tasty. Maybe we just didn’t order the best dishes. The Atmosphere was crazy loud between the music (we were seated right by a speaker with our toddler) and a ton of birds flocked to the tree above the patio. It was honestly so loud we could barely talk between those two things. It was NOT relaxing.. Once the live music started, it was much more relaxing and a good volume.

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 food,service and atmosphere were superb! Imo they had large portion dishes. My single complaint, we got our check and noticed a double charge for a bottle of wine that was supposed to have been removed because the cork fell inward. The server did say he forgot and was busy but we had to remind him. Double check your receipts people!

A must visit!! The experience was outstanding. To start, reservations are extremely hard to get and we happened to be late, they were very accommodating and added another chair for an added guest while also holding our table for us. We order the lobster ravioli and goulash which were both amazing. The 20 oz burger was much bigger than expected and pictures do not do it justice (definitely order it for more than 2 people) The hanger steak was another highlight which was beautifully plated. Then there’s “The Spoon”. Not just a dessert but an experience and a perfect way to end the meal! EASY 5/5

Last night we visited Madame Janette for dinner, a spot highly recommended both on the island & back home, and we couldn’t have been more satisfied. Jayar & Jai took excellent care of us throughout the evening. We started with delicious fresh bread & the Dutch island croquette, bitterballen — perfectly crispy on the outside & filled with flavorful beef on the inside. For our entrée, we shared the mixed grill for two, which included two types of steak, chicken, chorizo, potatoes, & vegetables, all paired with amazing sauces. We were completely stuffed, but when we saw the tres leches with butterscotch, we couldn’t resist — & it was absolutely worth it!

Dear Madame Janette’s Happy New Year! We hope this finds you well. I just wanted to send a note of thanks for making my husband’s Birthday Celebration in November 2025 with our family at Madame Janette’s Aruba so special and I have attached a few pictures for you & your team to enjoy. From start to finish it was a wonderful experience! We appreciate the follow-up that Monique did with us when making the well-in-advance reservation for our large dinner party to ensure we were able to get in one of our favorite dining choices on “One Happy Island” so that our family was able to experience what we get to enjoy annually. My husband and I married in Aruba many years ago and have returned annually every since and ALWAYS make sure we get to Madame Janette’s. Managers Carolyn and Lizzy were AWESOME!!! They took great care of us on arrival getting us seated promptly, checked back often to ensure we had all needed for the special evening and our Server Jai and Ricky OUTSTANDING!!! We requested them due to having a great experience in the past and they did not disappoint. Their customer service was “Top-Shelf” in personality, really making our evening special with well-timed dining throughout evening. Closing out our dining experience, Carolyn was wonderful in bringing us some birthday desserts. My husband and I will be back in February 2026 and will make sure that we get in for our annual tradition with a dining night out to Madame Janette’s. With all the dining choices on the island, Madame Janette ALWAYS makes us feel that our loyalty is important to them. Kindest Regards, The Traci Family (Dan & Candyce) & our children & grandchildren U.S.A.
