Restaurants near Hooiberg

So glad we went to check out Madame Janette’s on our first night in Aruba. It was crazy busy yet the service! Our server was phenomenal and he gave us an great tips on sightseeing while here. Sorry I didn’t catch your name but you were wonderful! Nothing ever took too long for the amount of people dining which was really impressive was wonderful. Live music was great. Have food 4/5 stars only because it needed a little more seasoning but everything was so fresh! 4/5 stars for the ambiance bc we were seated in a back corner sort of on the edge of the action and had lights shining in our eyes but was by no means a deal breaker. A must try once. Mix of Dutch, Caribbean, Italian and steakhouse but all delicious!

The best steak we ever had. Excellent food and service. Andrei the waiter was very friendly and helpful. The drinks were fantastic. They make the drinks right next to the table. The bartender puts on an awesome show preparing the drinks. Highly recommended. Little pricey but for a reason

Fabulous dining experience! Waited about 10 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. But once we were, it was fantastic! Nicholas was our server & he was great…attentive, informative about the menu, but gave us space to relax & enjoy our meal. Drinks were fantastic, appetizer (roasted feta) was a lovely prelude, entrees were on point (short rib and rotisserie chicken), desserts were delicious (crème brûlée & pineapple sago) and the after-dinner salted caramel espresso martini was the icing on the cake! Plus Thursday at 9:30 starts 2-for-1 happy hour! We loved it so much were dining there again w/i 24 hours as we must bid Aruba adieu for now.

Incredible! So happy with this find after doing some research for places to eat in the Oranjestad/PalmBeach area. Service was phenomenal with the manager personally going to every table to say hi and thank everyone for being there. Honestly could not choose what to have for my meal and want to go back just to try more options. The market ceviche, mahi mahi and tuna steak were all a 10/10 with plentiful sides for a perfect meal. Would highly recommend to anyone coming to Aruba!!

Hidden gem in the heart of the tourist downtown. A must visit!
