ARE THERE VEGETARIAN/VEGAN OPTIONS AVAILABLE AT MOST DINING ESTABLISHMENTS?

It used to be very difficult for vegetarians/vegans to go out for dinner in Curaçao, but times have changed, and most restaurants now have vegetarian options and many have vegan menu items as well. At the time of writing the only strictly vegetarian restaurant (with vegan options) is Vita Vegetarian Cuisine. Check our restaurant listings for more great options.

WHAT ARE SOME SIGNATURE DISHES I SHOULD TRY?

It’s authentic local fare that draws adventurous foodies to places like Marsche Bieuw, the Old Market landmark where Curaçaoans go for lunch in downtown Willemstad. Portions are generous, and prices can't be beat. Seating is strictly first come first serve, so arrive early.
