  • Quiz Question

    Who is the Buurvrouw?

    Answer

    One of our favorite restaurants on the island is Eetcafe De Buurvrouw (= eatery ‘The Neighbor’). The restaurant itself is an oversized palapa, under which there is an incredibly beautiful atmosphere. We die for the fantastic skewers with Antillan rice. An absolute recommendation!
