Willemstad

Ceviche 91 is an atmospheric ceviche restaurant offering a wide selection of the signature Central American dish, including Peruvian, Ecuadorian and Venezuelan varieties. The menu also includes fresh oysters, tartare and much more. The experience is enhanced by the photogenic location and a colourful selection of refreshing cocktails.

La Bohème, which describes itself as a smoothie bar, offers healthy and well-balanced dishes at all times of the day, including omelettes, arepas, pasta and ceviche, proudly embracing the diversity that characterises not only the place but the entire island.

With an elaborate food menu and unique vibe created by old furniture and colourful tiles, Mundo Bizarro aims to give you a real Caribbean feel. Dinner highlights include tuna steak, sirloin and the local stew known as stoba. The lunch options are just as varied featuring omelette and other light snacks. There is also outdoor seating and evenings with live music.

On an island where so many cultures have blended, a gastronomic tour is one of the most exciting activities one can do. In Willemstad, Plasa Bieu is a mandatory stop when on the hunt for authentic flavours. The name translates as old market and it is a no-frills establishment with various stalls offering a wide range of dishes inspired by Dutch, Afro-Caribbean, Venezuelan and other cuisines.

Only a few minutes' walk from Mathey Wharf cruise port, this restaurant is an excellent choice for a quick immersion in the world of Curaçao — but it's also worth a detour for the good selection of Caribbean food and the legendary views of St Anna Bay and Handelskade. The menu also has a touch of Italian cuisine, and there is even a verdant garden in case you're looking for something more intimate.
