Bars & Restaurants in Curacao
Maybe you would like to know something about a special local specialty: “Dushi Kadushi” cactus soup. This is practically a national dish on Curacao. That’s why we tried the soup for you at the first address “Zus di Plaza”. The polite European finds this extremely “interesting” 😉 Take a look at our very personal impressions!
In general, soups on Curacao are our tip. It is always recommended to eat something warm when it is hot rather than constantly eating something ice cold. How about something from Pindakaas? No, this is not cheese, but a wonderfully exotic peanut and banana soup (Peanut Banana Soup). Plus it’s vegan!
Is it possible that you are more into meat? Then our reports on the popular “Stobas” are for you. A Stoba (English: “Stew”) is a type of “Caribbean goulash”, made with beef or goat meat. Accordingly, it is always braised for a long time and melts in your mouth. Tasty side dishes are served with funny names like Funchi, Moro or Tutu. Delicious!
As befits a good neighbor, De Buurvrouw (Dutch for neighbor and also a restaurant) takes care of your children: While you wait for the excellent food in the largest palapa on the island, for example a surf & turf skewer with Antillean rice, your children can spend the waiting time at the playground near the entrance.
Have you ever eaten iguana? Maybe you would like to accompany us to a typical Caribbean party and find out what “Iguana Burgers” taste like. If you have a thing for burgers, try a Williburger at Marfa’s Hangout in Sint Willibrordus, which is also made with local ingredients. Yes, we know, America sends its regards here, just in Curacao style.
In contrast, with the popular Coconut Dinner at Shelterrock you spoon your main course out of a real coconut. On top of that, the operators will sweeten your evening with karaoke. The Caribbean flavour comes out, literally. Pure party!
By the way, you can also go on a predator hunt, for example by catching the invasive lionfish while diving. By doing this and by eating this delicacy, you are helping to preserve biodiversity in the Caribbean. Speaking of fish: What do you think of fresh, grilled tuna in a sesame coating with friends at sunset and beer in a champagne bucket? That sounds good, doesn’t it? Or enjoy the “catch of the day” on a small, floating dock in a more private and iconic way – gentle rocking included. We’ll tell you where.
You should also drink plenty of fluids because of the hot temperatures. Awa is the ultimate thirst quencher. Awa means water in the local language Papiamentu. With a sweet and sour lime aroma, it is called Awa di Lamunchi, which, along with Blue Curacao and Green Rum, is a contender for the national drink of Curacao.
In the numerous bars in Curacao you can also try out different types of beer and rum that are not available in your home country. Alternatively, sip cocktails you’ve never heard of. Just let the music and atmosphere on site guide you. Relax and enjoy!
We can assure you with a clear conscience that you will neither starve nor die of thirst on Curacao. You’ll find something for every taste, including yours!
