This week we’re global with Restaurant Reviews Aruba – Salt and Pepper was our first dining destination on this trip. We stop into have drinks and tapas at Salt ‘n Pepper at least once during each Aruba visit. It is a great casual spot with indoor and outdoor seating and a wide variety of modestly priced menu options. We had only eaten breakfast prior to our flight, so Ernie was especially hungry when we arrived. By the way, sorry about the lack of photos, I don’t yet have an international phone. We ordered two hot tapas items, Pika Chorizo and Meatballs, and an item from the cold tapas section, S&P Dip.
The Pika Chorizo is a zesty pork sausage in a thin and super spicy tomato based sauce. It was good but not sure that I would order it again. The meatballs were excellent and I will be ordering them again next time. They were small and moist with a mild flavor in a thin, tomato-based sauce. The S&P dip featured spinach and cream cheese with tortilla chips; a pleasant snack with drinks. For an entree, I ordered a fish sandwich with French fries. I didn’t eat the roll but it was extremely fresh. The fish was a well-seasoned fried Grouper and I give the French fries a 7 out of 10 rating (which is quite a high mark on my French fries scale). Ernie got the Salt & Pepper Burger which was 8 ounces of beef on a fresh, soft bun with cheese, bacon, pineapple, lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles. It looked crazy delicious and Ernie gave it a solid 8 out of 10. No dessert for us this time, just a walk along the Beach back to the Divi Phoenix. See you next time SaltandPepper.
