Madame Janette Review

Especially popular with Aruba's Dutch residents, Madame Janette weds an unlikely pair: the cuisines of northern Europe and the Caribbean. The restaurant's outdoor dining areas spill down steps and around corners, some areas protected by reed-mat awnings, others open to the stars, and all within earshot of the live acoustic music. Rustic potato-and-leek soup with garlic croutons is a nice starter. Madame's hot shrimps show the chefs' ingenuity -- juicy prawns baked in a flavorful marinara sauce topped with melted Gouda and Gorgonzola. In fact, nearly every dish features a healthy dose of cheese -- the au gratin potatoes are perfect. The pan-seared mahimahi filet with tropical fruit salsa and the Caribbean stuffed shrimp with crabmeat and bacon are new on the menu. For dessert, try the chocolate soufflé with pumpkinseed ice cream, or traditional Austrian Kaiserschmarren, a thick and hearty pancake served with black cherries and ice cream.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
