Food and culture
Be well fed
Curaçao’s food is as colourful and eclectic as the island itself. Dutch, Spanish, African and Latin American influences fill most menus alongside local Caribbean cuisine. To sample everything our island has to offer, you’d better bring a serious appetite.
Taste Curaçao
Keep it local
If you want the local experience, it pays to seek out the neighbourhood spots where Curaçaoans love to eat. We’re always happy to recommend both restaurants and local dishes that you must try during your stay, such as a hearty keshi yena, crispy pastechi or a side plate of funchi with your main course.
Coffee, coolers, cocktails
Stay hydrated
Curaçao’s watering holes range from rustic, family-owned beach shacks to contemporary rooftop bars with sweeping ocean views. Whether you’re craving a barista-made flat white or a hand-squeezed awa di lamunchi under the midday sun, there's no excuse for going thirsty on Curaçao.
An inimitable culture
Get to know our island
Curaçao’s distinctive character is felt in every corner of the island: in Willemstad’s galleries and historic buildings, in bustling local markets, in the landhuizen dotted across the countryside and in traditions kept alive by smaller communities. There’s far more to Curaçao than its white-sand beaches.
