If you had just one restaurant

that you could go to, which one would it be? And why? Just one!

madam janette

because it has the most delicious food (IMO), the wait staff are personable and friendly, service is always outstanding, it is fine dining in a courtyard/garden atmosphere. is a bit pricy but not as pricy as the places on the water. they make a "mean" vodka martini.

there are usually lefotvers to bring home and have for dinner the next evening..

Passions at the Amsterdam Manor
  • dining on the beach, who could ask for a better atmosphere?
  • delicious food
  • less expensive beach dining than OM&TS & Flying Fishbone

DITTO. Everything Andrea says. It is "pricy" but the portions are huge. I haven't dined at Flying Fishbone but I have at Passions and Old Man and the Sea. You can't beat the atmosphere at OMATS. Just beautiful.

Ditto to the above!

I like MJ's but I'm not big on the heavy sauces/creams that they specialize in. Too rich for my taste.

#1 Restaurant-What do you think?

Hello all,

Off to the Divi next week..
Everytime we go, we always like to try a new restaurant.
We like pretty much everything from Italian-Seafood etc...
We have already been to El Gaucho's, Blossoms, Windows over Aruba, Pirates Nest and a few other restaurants close to the Divi (do not remember the names)..

Looking for opinions from the Aruba experts? Best spot???


One week from today.. Ah.........................Cannot wait...
