Reviews Summary
Salt and Pepper Tapas Bar & Restaurant is a popular spot with a diverse menu, praised for its generous portions, friendly service, and unique ambiance. While many enjoy the breakfast and tapas options, some reviews mention inconsistencies in dish quality, particularly with pancakes and certain seafood items. The quirky salt and pepper shaker collection and the chance for free sangria are often highlighted as fun, memorable aspects of the dining experience.
"We were searching for a good breakfast spot in Aruba - and we found it! Loved the steak and eggs, bacon, hash browns. Service was great and friendly. The second time we had pancakes and eggs. All delicious."
Michael Shafer
"The omelet and sausage was good. The turkey bacon was way overcooked. Felt like I was eating pork rinds or chips. The French toast was the worse I ever had. A 5 year old probably could’ve made better French toast. I like the mixed fruits. The service from the bartender was good. She was nice and friendly but the breakfast was MID. I wouldnt recommend for breakfast or brunch."
Jon Snow
"The breakfast here was really good!! The service not so much. Our waiter didn’t really check on us after taking our order but his colleagues made up for it. The food took a little to come out but it was worth it. I ordered 2 pancakes and eggs breakfast that came with bacon and my husband did the American breakfast and the iced caramel coffee. We were both very satisfied with our meals."

Alfie’s has one of the best burgers I’ve ever had with peanut butter, raspberry jam, and maple bacon on it (please trust me and order The Goober!) Salt & Pepper is a must-stop for tapas. Casa Tua is fantastic if you’re looking for pasta or woodfire pizza. And Bingo is great for steak and seafood in an environment that’s not over-the-top fancy.
