Find out what Dutch restaurants to try in Willemstad. The lively capital of Curacao is a welcoming, upbeat destination with two distinct historic districts divided by the lovely St. Anna Bay. Punda, site of neat, narrow streets, is crammed with shops and museums. Otrobanda, or "The Other Side," is a maze of twisting residential streets, contrasting with the organized grid across the bay. Willemstad's colorful colonial architecture has won it UNESCO Heritage site designations. Diving and swimming with dolphins are popular activities in the bay.

The Restaurant is ideally located on the waterfront in full view of the Otrabanda across the Canal where one can see the lighted Pontoon Bridge that spans the Canal. It was great urgency for the Servers to point you to a seating accommodation take your Order and then you wait for the meal. The service was slow. Then you had to cross the road to pay the bill.after waiting for some one to bring you the bill which you received at the time of payment.. Maybe it was a bad day. The meal was not that tasty in any event. I had tasted better elsewhere.

We had been walking for a while in the heat and stopped for a beer to refresh us. Nice place to people watch while enjoying a cold beer.

We have been dying to go there for several months. Ambiance and signer are amazing. So we made a reservation for fish market.But the lobster and pizza were quite overcooked / almost burnt.We didnât finish our plates. I would have returned it but the waitress didnât stop by.The waitress was a bit lunatic and forgot to bring half or our side orders and cocktails. We waved at her the whole evening, and she wouldnât see us half the time. The other waiter assigned to serve us the wine was really fantastic though and so was the chief at the fish desk. In conclusion the Service across the staff is very inconsistent, from terrible to extremely pleasant. And the price is not cheap. Watch your bill for undelivered charged meals. We left a good tip anyway because we felt bad for the rest of the staff which are working super hard.Will not go back to the restaurant unless itâs only for drinks.Dear Jessie,Thank you for sharing your experience.How nice that you liked our ambiance and singer so much!We aim to give all of our guest the best possible and consistent service.We are sorry that you didn't experience this from all off our colleagues.Still, we hope to may welcome you again.Sincerely,

This place is great! The menu offers something for everyone from breakfast dishes, burgers, fresh squeezed juice blends, and much more! The apple Dutch pancakes are sublime and the greens juice with ginger was just what I needed after missing my juices I regularly have in the US. We sat on the patio and it was lovely!

We came here with the ATV tour. The restaurants has a pretty decent menu offering and is huge in size relative to the beach. Food from the restaurant was very nice too. Water is very clear and you can take picture on the swing out in the water. Water is clearer than Cas Abao beach.

We had booked in advance for a special occasion and I requested an oceanfront table. When we arrived, it was not ready so we waited at the bar for 30 minutes (there was a couple there who were not ordering anything more but weren't leaving and they wouldn't tell them that the table was reserved).Upon getting the table, service was very slow in terms of ordering, and the food took so long per course that we were close to falling asleep.In terms of ambience, it's really a nice setting to see the sunset and to dine on the waterfront. The food was tasty too but it just took a long time.Dear Shivani,First of all we thank you for your input. We thrive for high quality in every aspect and we regret that our service level was not that night. We also try to tutor new members of the team and you will understand that the best learning is in making mistakes (although these mistakes should preferably not me made at your table). Having said that we would like to apologize for not being able to astaund you on your special day. If we could make up for this, we would! Please stop by this week and raise glasses to your special occasion!kind regardsTeam BijBlauwRuud van Dijk

Karakter is a bit different then other beach restaurants. Itâs not a snack bar but a place with a great menu for both lunch and dinner. Friendly service and a nice environment. Off course the prices are a bit steeper then the other beach foodstalls, but for that the food is really lovely (40-50naf/main course)Apparently the best appeltaart on the island. I tried it and itâs good Hi Floris_71,Thank you for your great 5-star review! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your visit and that you have so many good things to say about Karakter. Mostly, we are glad you liked our homemade apple pie, it was made with love! We look forward to serving you again soon!
