Most Popular Caribbean food in Curacao, Caribbean

November 3, 2019 Timmy Ribble

Find out what Caribbean restaurants to try in Curacao. Serious divers have long flocked to Curacao. Whether you’re looking for a challenging wall dive or a shallow snorkeling spot, you’ll find it here. Beaches, of course, are another big draw. With sugar-fine sand and calm waters, they’re perfect for kids. And make sure to explore Willemstad, Curacao’s capital city. Its charming pastel buildings and equally colorful history earned it recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage City.

A gorgeous setting high on the hill above Santa Martha Bay. Lovely place to enjoy the sunset and evening breezes. If winds are not sufficient, insects may be a problem in the open air. The menu has a very nice selection of seafood and meats. The appetizers are fairly large plates, in fact 2 or 3 of them would be adequate for a meal. Excellent fresh seafood, particularly catch of the day.

We love this place because of the fresh food and the friendly people. Always a smile. Interested in their service to their customers. Very local style. Food is tasty. Even the cook came out to ask whether everything was fine. They care for what they do!

Stayed at Santa Barbara where the food was pricy. Had to venture out for all dinners. WE found this place later in the week. Loved it so much we went 3 nights in a row. The wife had the same dinner all 3 nights, lobster. I switched it up all 3 nights and every dinner was great. Great spot on the water. Loved it hope we can return.

We are moving to the other side of the road. You'll find us at the entrance to the National Park at Cactus Cafe. Opening Hours: 10am-3pm (kitchen opens at 11 am till 2 pm) and 5pm - 10pm (kitchen closes at 9pm)

The cactus cafe (its new name) is a lovely restaurant in Cristoffel Park. The family needed to grab an early dinner so we were the only ones in the restaurant at 6pm. The service and food was excellent. They were also patient when I asked repeatedly if there were nuts in my 15yo son's meal. (Side note, yes my kid says I was being too much of a "mom", but he doesn't remember the last trip when I had to take him to an ER and it was in a foreign country).

Reviewed By lancelotd669

We had a very bad experience in this restaurant. Nowhere was mentioned they would charge an extra 10% on the total amount for service. It's normally up to the customer to decide whether he/she wants to tip for service. All the restaurants we've been to in Curacao work like this, just as they do elsewhere. Obliging people to tip your staff is absolutely NOT DONE. In this restaurant however, when we got our bill, we were obliged to pay a arbitrary tip of 10%. This was not mentioned in the menu and not communicated in advance and could thus not be charged. When taking this up with the staff, they claimed this decision was not theirs to make, but the manager's. Of course, conveniently, this person wasn't present and neither reachable by text or call. I offered to get the police or any other authority involved to solve this as the restaurant wasn't capable of offering a solution. This, obviously wasn't to their liking as they knew they were in their wrong. We ended up paying the unjustified extra amount as they didn't let us leave by paying the correct amount. Overall, I am very very disappointed in this establishment and I would recommend any fellow traveller to avoid going here to be treated this way. To be clear, the amount was not big, but just the way we've been treated is a disgrace. This is completely unlike any other experience we've had on the island and something nobody should experience on their holidays.There are many restaurants in Curacao charging 10% or even 15% . I will mention 5 Nautilus (15%), Matsuri (10%) , Shore (15%), Kyoto (10%) St Tropez (10%) these restaurants are among the best. I was informed that you found the food delicious and the service excellent. But it all turned around when you saw the check. It is sad that you could not find it in your heart to reward our employee's hard work. Instead you did a disfavor to all of them by your unsubstantiated review. It seems it is you who put your country to shame by representing them in such a cheap manner.

Greatest view. A pity they don't clean up the place. I was feeling great and the food was fine until I saw the way they keep their goats. No water at all in this heat and no plants to even get somehow a bit of water. And a beautiful Warawara bird in a dirty cage without a drop of water who should be right there flying around in the nature which is exactly where they are located.Hi , U can not put a private property in a review. The goats have nothing 2 do with our restaurant! The bird is in good condition like always! We give him good and water and i take time to even talk with him every day! Ur review is not based on facts. Well the only fact is that u eat good. Thanks u! For ur time to make picture about the goats. And not the good food and service.Gito

Cana Bar & Kitchen

The first and only gastrobar in Curaçao. Latin/Caribbean inspired. Taste the region on your plate and in your glass with rum and tequila as the stars of the backbar.

Reviewed By lindanD7839SW

Fantastic fusion of fresh Caribbean inspired cocktails, delicious food plates and classic chic island ambiance make Cana a special place. The menu offers an array of dishes that are larger than an appetizer but smaller than a dinner. Our table of 4 started by ordering 3 plates, served sequentially to share, first the Ceviche (local reef fish), next crispy calamari (fresh, tender with a sweet chili dip sauce) followed by Picahna a la Parrilla (Brazilian sirloin with chimichurri)...the friendly and attentive wait staff kept the plates coming and the drinks fresh. As the Picahna arrived we ordered two more plates, a calamari encore (it was so tasty!) and the Rum Ribs...OMG, we were full when the ribs arrived but the meat was delicious and fell clean from the bone!A perfect night! I believe that Cana is a “can’t miss”!
