Salt and Pepper Tapas Bar & Restaurant

Founded in 1999 by Karsten Gesing and Ramon Helgers, Madame Janette has earned its reputation as a culinary landmark in Aruba. Nestled in the countryside of Noord, this award-winning restaurant invites guests to dine al fresco in lush tropical gardens illuminated by twinkling lights and accompanied by live music. It is the perfect blend of fine dining and a casual, welcoming atmosphere, making it a favorite for both locals and visitors for over two decades.

The menu is internationally renowned, featuring signature dishes like the famous Lobster Ravioli, the Black Angus Beef Carpaccio, and the legendary “”Old Butcher Steak”” (a prime tenderloin cut). Guests with hearty appetites also flock here for the massive Vienna-style pork schnitzels and the inventive “”Burgerloin.”” To complement the meal, Madame Janette boasts an extensive wine list and the Craft Beer Corner, which claims to have the largest collection of specialty beers in the Caribbean. Whether for a romantic date night or a celebratory family dinner, “”MJ’s”” delivers an unforgettable evening under the stars.
