    Ontdek de traditionele, beroemde gerechten van Curaçao

    De Caribische keuken is net zo kleurrijk als de cultuur. Probeer enkele van de beste regionale keukens uit het Caribisch gebied.
    Curaçao is een van de mooiste eilanden ter wereld. Maar het duurt niet lang om te beseffen waarom veel mensen ervoor kiezen om hier op vakantie te gaan.

    De natuurlijke schoonheid is onmiskenbaar, maar wat Curacao echt uniek maakt zijn de smaken die over het hele eiland te vinden zijn.
    De eetcultuur op Curaçao is divers, aangezien Curaçao bekend staat als een van de meest diverse eilanden van het Caribisch gebied. Met meer dan 50 nationaliteiten die er wonen, kunt u genieten van heerlijke traditionele gerechten zoals: traditionele Creoolse gerechten zoals curry geit en gestoofde snoek, gekookt maïsmeel tot internationale favorieten zoals sushi en pizza. Van verse streekproducten tot lokaal geproduceerde wijnen en sterke dranken, er is voor elk wat wils. Deze blog laat u zien waar u die specialiteiten op ons eiland kunt vinden.

    Er zijn veel van de favoriete (soms onverwachte) gerechten en drankjes van het eiland die het proberen waard zijn terwijl u geniet van de zon en het strand op Curaçao.

    Iguana

    Leguanenvlees wordt vaak gebruikt in stoofpotten en soepen, maar het is vooral bekend als het hoofdingrediënt van Curaçaos nationale gerecht, leguanensoep ‘Sopi di Yuana’. Het vlees wordt langzaam geroosterd met uien en kruiden, geserveerd over witte rijst en afgemaakt met een schijfje limoen. Men denkt dat het helpt verkoudheid en verkoudheid te voorkomen.

    Fish & Chips

    Als het op Britse pubklassiekers aankomt, zijn er maar weinig plekken op Curaçao die het beter doen. Bij Jaanchie’s kunnen gasten genieten van vers gebakken vis en friet, met friet erbij.

    Karni stoba

    De stoofpot van rundvlees – gemaakt met geit – is een hartig gerecht dat blokjes gemarineerd vlees bevat die sudderen met verschillende combinaties van uien en specerijen.
    U vindt het overal, ook in de informele cafetaria en het elegante restaurant en café Gouverneur de Rouville, gevestigd in een historisch herenhuis met uitzicht op de Sint Annabaai en naast het prachtige hotel Kura Botanica. De Sint Anna Baai en de kleurrijke rijen Nederlandse koloniale huizen die langs de waterkant staan zijn ook geweldige plaatsen om van de maaltijd te genieten.

    Pompoen pannenkoeken

    Verkopers op Plasa Bieu verkopen pompoenpannenkoeken. Ze kosten $1 per stuk en worden warm geserveerd. U kunt ze vinden bij Plasa Bieu, gelegen in Punda, Willemstad. Deze pannenkoeken zijn het echt waard.

    Visgerecht

    Het visballetje komt oorspronkelijk uit Curaçao, waar het traditioneel wordt geserveerd tijdens het diner op kerstavond. Dit gerecht wordt gemaakt met een combinatie van ingrediënten zoals tonijn, knoflook, uien en paprika’s.

    Stew

    Bananen stobá is een klassiek Nederlands Caribisch recept. Het wordt traditioneel geserveerd tijdens de kerstperiode, met kalkoen of lam. Daarnaast kunt u ook de zoete versie van stobá (stoofpot) eten, banaanstobá, die kan worden gemaakt van weegbree en een paar kruiden.

    Piska Ku Funchi

    De naam zegt het al, letterlijk vertaald in het Engels betekent het “vis gekookt met polenta”. Dit gerecht is ontstaan in een periode van hongersnood in Ghana, zo’n 40 jaar geleden. De mensen leefden hoofdzakelijk van maïsmeelpap, polenta genaamd, die met water werd gemengd en ’s nachts werd gekookt. Deze eenvoudige maaltijd werd populair bij de plaatselijke bevolking. Funchi hasa is ook een echte aanrader, dat is gefrituurde funchi (vergelijkbaar met friet). Voor de volledige ervaring, doe er wat kaas bij.

    Beste lokale restaurants op Curaçao

    Om uw verblijf zo gemakkelijk en watertandend mogelijk te maken, kunt u gewoon deze lijst lezen voor de beste lokale restaurants op het eiland.

    Proef lokale gerechten bij Plasa Bieu

    Als u op Curaçao bent, aarzel dan niet om de verschillende lokale gerechten te proberen die het eiland te bieden heeft. Plaza Bieu is een plaatselijk instituut dat heerlijke Caribische gerechten serveert in grote porties. De openluchtmarkt in Punda biedt bezoekers de kans om van een stevige maaltijd te genieten terwijl ze de bezienswaardigheden en geluiden van de bruisende markt in zich opnemen.

    Op de Oude Markt (Plaza Bieu) vindt u tientallen – nee, honderden – plaatselijke verkopers die van alles verkopen, van versgebakken brood tot zelfgemaakt ijs. Maar het gaat niet alleen om eten; er zijn ook ambachtslieden die handgemaakte artikelen, sieraden, kleding en zelfs souvenirs verkopen. U zult hier geen winkelketens vinden; elke verkoper verkoopt zijn waren rechtstreeks vanuit zijn kraam. Ook voor vegetariërs zijn er tal van mogelijkheden, waaronder een veganistisch restaurant en een sapbar.

    Als u op zoek bent naar iets bijzonders om te eten, probeer dan een van de traditionele gerechten die op de markt worden geserveerd. Probeer kabes ku higa , een hartig vleesgerecht met geitenvlees. Of ga voor de curried chicken, een pittige curry gekookt met kokosmelk en kruiden. Een heerlijke manier om de dag te beginnen.

    En vergeet het toetje niet. Naast het gebruikelijke assortiment zoete lekkernijen vindt u er ook veel hartige hapjes, zoals kaastaarten, empanadas en sandwiches.

    Rozendaels

    Eetgelegenheid in de open lucht met een Caribisch tintje
    Op het eiland Curaçao vindt u vele restaurants die heerlijk eten serveren. Een van die plaatsen is Rozendaels, gelegen in het hartje van de stad. Rozendaels is te vinden in de bruisende wijk Pietermaai.

    Dit restaurant biedt een verscheidenheid aan gerechten, waaronder enkele traditionele favorieten, zoals curacao kip en stoofpot van rundvlees. Maar er worden ook gerechten geserveerd die geïnspireerd zijn op verschillende culturen over de hele wereld.

    Rozendaels biedt niet alleen een ruime keuze aan lokale gerechten, maar serveert ook een verscheidenheid aan internationale gerechten. Misschien vindt u er dingen die u kent, zoals pizza en pasta, maar er zijn ook gerechten die u waarschijnlijk nog niet eerder hebt geprobeerd. Het restaurant biedt bijvoorbeeld een gerecht genaamd “kashmiri curry”, dat bestaat uit lamsvlees geserveerd met groenten en kruiden.

    Er is voldoende zitgelegenheid binnen en buiten het restaurant. Als u op zoek bent naar iets speciaals, probeer dan de dessertkaart. Er zijn verschillende verleidelijke keuzes, waaronder chocolademousse taart en kokosroomtaart.

    Jaanchie’s Restaurant

    Het menu in Jaanchie’s Restaurant is eenvoudig – slechts drie hoofdgerechten geserveerd met rijst en bonen, groentesalade en dessert. Maar er zijn genoeg opties om uit te kiezen, waaronder zeevruchten zoals gegrilde tandbaars, garnalen en kreeft; vlezige voorgerechten zoals kipfilet, varkenslende, en biefstuk; en vegetarische selecties zoals pompoensoep, spinazietaart, en aardappelcurry. Er zijn zelfs enkele traditionele Caribische gerechten zoals gebakken bakbananenchips en currygeit.

    Maar wat Jaanchie’s echt onderscheidt, is het hoofdgerecht: leguanensoep. De naam van het restaurant is afgeleid van het Nederlandse woord “iguana”, wat hagedis betekent, omdat Jaanchie’s levende leguanen gebruikt als een van zijn bronnen van eiwitten.
    Het restaurant biedt verschillende soorten leguanensoep, afhankelijk van hoeveel vlees u wilt en of u de soep pittig of mild wilt. Als u op zoek bent naar iets lichts, probeer dan de “coconut iguana soup.”

    Wie meer smaak wil, kan kiezen voor de “chicken iguana soup” of de “spicy iguana”. De ster van de show hier is niet de soep zelf, het zijn de leguanen zelf. Ze zwerven vrij rond op Jaanchie’s landgoed, waar ze al sinds hun geboorte wonen. Ze eten grassen en bladeren, en nemen af en toe een duik in de oceaan.

    Landhuis Dokterstuin – “Restaurant Komedor Krioyo”

    Authentieke streekgerechten geserveerd in het historische Landhuis Doktorstuin, een gerestaureerd 18e eeuws landhuis dat geel is geschilderd met een tinnen dak. Gelegen naast de weg naar Westpunt (de westkant van het eiland waar de mooiste stranden te vinden zijn) is het gevestigd in een voormalig woonhuis van Dr. Evert Jansen van der Meer, een van de grondleggers van Curaçao.

    Op het menu staan heerlijke traditionele gerechten zoals gestoofde geit, gestoofde bananen met vlees, rode snapper, en nog veel meer.

    BBQ Express

    Foodtrucks worden steeds populairder, maar Curaçao kent al jaren verschillende foodtrucks. Zij bieden gemak, verscheidenheid en betaalbaarheid.

    BBQ Express biedt barbecuegerechten en drankjes. Op het menu staan sandwiches met rundvleesborst, gebakken kip, pulled pork en macaroni met kaas. Er zijn ook bijgerechten zoals zoete aardappel chips en maïsbrood sticks.

    De food truck serveert stevige porties, en veel klanten zeggen dat ze terugkomen omdat ze houden van de kwaliteit van het eten en de klantenservice.

    Wow! In a word, great... top service. You will receive a very warm welcome from Miguel. From the start you feel more than welcome. That's because of the entire team and the atmosphere there. If there is a problem, they are immediately available to help you. Super nice accommodation, perfect location. You can explore the entire island with a rental car and you can park it safely at the accommodation. In short, more than satisfied with this accommodation!

    End of july we stayed for 9 nights at Kura Botanica, and to be honest it was a fantastic experience! A really calm, nice hotel near to the city center. Pleasant and enjoyable people with Miguel and Derrel in particular. Room was spacious, clean, nice and very good airco (really important). Breakfast at Bario is only 2 minutes away from the hotel, but doesn't bother at all. When you return in the afternoon or evening at the hotel then there is always Derrel at the bar who is curious about your day (we really missed him when he had his day off).Hotel is a recommendation when you want a calm nice clean hotel near to the city center (and when you want to meet the 2 nicest people in Curaçao 😁)

    I had a wonderful holiday here with my adult children. Enjoy breakfast at Restaurant Bario nearby, drink delicious cocktails from friendly bartender Derrel at the pool bar or relax in the pool. An occasional chat with charming Miguel, who also gave us new beach towels for the pool. We had a lovely time. Thank you!

    Very good hotel! Rooms are really 1000/10! The staff is super friendly and happy to chat with you, especially the sweet Miquel and Derrel. It is super clean and very well cared for! I would really recommend everyone to go here. Small is beautiful! A nice homely atmosphere and super nice that everyone has their own entrance to your “house”/room! The courtyard outside the hotel is also super cozy with small shops and restaurants! Hotel is in a perfect location! Only a few minutes' walk to Willemstad (you can get there within 5 minutes). Once again highly recommended!

    Smelled amazing when you walked in, couldn't help but smile. location is perfect. In the middle of it all but yet, private and quiet. I can't say enough about customer service! Miguel is absolutely wonderful, put a smile on my face every time we interacted. He was helpful and even walked us around to show us what was near the hotel.Best hospitality/customer service I have ever experienced and I have traveled all over the world.

The garden forms an amazing ambience for network meetings and private events. Definately recommended. Compliments to some of the waiters that are quite proactive and go the extra mile. Kudos to the team!

    Beautiful, nice and service-oriented boutique hotel in the heart of Willemstad.To be clear: If you book via Corendon: certainly not a 5* hotel (a good 4 is better). Missing some critical things. But they make up for it with great service!A quick summary of plus and minus pointsPlus:-Location. The heart of Willemstad. In the middle of restored Otrabanda. 15 minutes walk from Nieuwstraat. Nevertheless, very quiet.-Service: employees are super friendly and helpful.-Rooms. Rooms are clean and beds great. Nice shower. Are cleaned every day. And I mean really cleaned.-Nice poolside bar where there is a lot of chatting in the evening.-Adult only. Really nice.Minus:-No beach access. This is not something that you can blame the hotel for, but it is stated differently on the Corendon site. If you want to go to a beach, you will have to arrange that yourself. Otherwise they would have gotten 5 stars for location.-Swimming pool is quite small for 46 rooms. There are approximately 13 beds, so on busy check-out days: do the math.-Breakfast. They have outsourced breakfast to a restaurant nearby (Bario). Not a buffet but a la carte. During our stay we suffered from long waiting times. Kura management then took steps and things improved.-No gym.Extras:-If you stay here, it is wise to arrange a car for at least a few days.-Be informed by the hotel management about where to eat/be etc etc.

    I had a wonderful stay at Kura Botanica in Curacao. This boutique hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. The rooms were not only nice but also impeccably clean, which is always a priority for me when traveling. The location is fantastic, being so close to Brionplein and Punda, making it convenient to explore the vibrant surroundings.The ambiance at Kura Botanica is truly special. It radiates charm and offers a tranquil atmosphere that made my stay even more enjoyable. The staff was welcoming and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience.I would highly recommend Kura Botanica to anyone looking for a cozy and well-maintained boutique hotel in Curacao. It's a gem that ensures a delightful stay in this beautiful destination.

    Hotel with a beautiful garden, in the middle of a historic village. The service from the staff has always been friendly and multilingual. The room we stayed in was new and the bed was excellent!However, some problems were observed. They didn't replace the amenities for our last night, nor did they even collect a towel that was on the floor.The shower is also not separated from the rest of the bathroom, there is no curtain or shower stall which makes the bathroom wet. There was also a lack of support for soap and shampoo, which are on the floor.The parking lot is far away and you need to either walk with your bags or take your car close to the entrance and then return to the parking lot.But the worst thing for me was the breakfast. it is served in another hotel and there is no variety, it doesn't change between days, it is very simple and contained. You can just have a coffee and a juice and not repeat it. On the first day we were treated very poorly, even harshly, which made us not want to go back the next day.

    Great place to stay. Renovated only recently and rooms are excellent. Staff is very helpful and polite. Pool is a bit small but perfect to relax at the end of day. Or whenever you start your day later.Breakfast is in collaboration with a place 1min away and is taken good care off. Choices and taste are overall just good.They did tell Kura B is planning to build their own kitchen in the near future. But the 1min (literally) walk shouldn't trouble you.

    We are locals and wanted a relaxing escape from our usual routine. This place was extremely relaxing, with a beautiful pool surrounded by large trees to provide a great mix of shade and sun. The hotel is very well located with many great restaurants within a few minutes walk. The rooms are very well designed for an authentic Curacao experience. We would highly recommend a stay to both couples as to individuals visiting Curacao.

    I think this is best hotel in Curaçao!It is sweet and charming, the rooms are very clean and well kept. It is comprised of several buildings within the property. Vivid colours both inside and outside of the rooms. Lots of lush foliage and very serene, literally perfect for retreating from busyness and embracing relaxation.It’s tucked in Kura Hulanda village so there’s plenty to do and eat without walking more than 10 minutes but I recommend exploring nearby neighbourhoods like Otrabanda (where the hotel is), Punda and Pietermaai which are all walking distanceWhat’s most memorable is the keen hospitality of the KB team. I felt welcomed throughout the duration of my stay, not just upon arrival. They happily answered every question I had and was consistently kind and helpful.Janette, Teresa, Disney, Darrel, Rosalita, and the young lady w the cute headscarf that complimented my crocs - you guys are amazing!My only regret is leaving such a good review bc now I risk KB not being available when I return!

    Beautiful, nice and service-oriented boutique hotel in the heart of Willemstad.To be clear: If you book via Corendon: certainly not a 5* hotel (a good 4 is better). Missing some critical things. But they make up for it with great service!A quick summary of plus and minus pointsPlus:-Location. The heart of Willemstad. In the middle of restored Otrabanda. 15 minutes walk from Nieuwstraat. Nevertheless, very quiet.-Service: employees are super friendly and helpful.-Rooms. Rooms are clean and beds great. Nice shower. Are cleaned every day. And I mean really cleaned.-Nice poolside bar where there is a lot of chatting in the evening.-Adult only. Really nice.Minus:-No beach access. This is not something that you can blame the hotel for, but it is stated differently on the Corendon site. If you want to go to a beach, you will have to arrange that yourself. Otherwise they would have gotten 5 stars for location.-Swimming pool is quite small for 46 rooms. There are approximately 13 beds, so on busy check-out days: do the math.-Breakfast. They have outsourced breakfast to a restaurant nearby (Bario). Not a buffet but a la carte. During our stay we suffered from long waiting times. Kura management then took steps and things improved.-No gym.Extras:-If you stay here, it is wise to arrange a car for at least a few days.-Be informed by the hotel management about where to eat/be etc etc.

    I had a wonderful stay at Kura Botanica in Curacao. This boutique hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. The rooms were not only nice but also impeccably clean, which is always a priority for me when traveling. The location is fantastic, being so close to Brionplein and Punda, making it convenient to explore the vibrant surroundings.The ambiance at Kura Botanica is truly special. It radiates charm and offers a tranquil atmosphere that made my stay even more enjoyable. The staff was welcoming and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience.I would highly recommend Kura Botanica to anyone looking for a cozy and well-maintained boutique hotel in Curacao. It's a gem that ensures a delightful stay in this beautiful destination.

    Amazing boutique adult only hotel. One suggestion ... full length mirrors. Excellent service. Kind staff. Free cappuccinos if you ask nicely. Very close to all of Willemstad. Many amazing restaurants near by. The retail shops had such great selections of clothing and souvenirs. Highly recommend!!

    Hotel with a beautiful garden, in the middle of a historic village. The service from the staff has always been friendly and multilingual. The room we stayed in was new and the bed was excellent!However, some problems were observed. They didn't replace the amenities for our last night, nor did they even collect a towel that was on the floor.The shower is also not separated from the rest of the bathroom, there is no curtain or shower stall which makes the bathroom wet. There was also a lack of support for soap and shampoo, which are on the floor.The parking lot is far away and you need to either walk with your bags or take your car close to the entrance and then return to the parking lot.But the worst thing for me was the breakfast. it is served in another hotel and there is no variety, it doesn't change between days, it is very simple and contained. You can just have a coffee and a juice and not repeat it. On the first day we were treated very poorly, even harshly, which made us not want to go back the next day.

    Great place to stay. Renovated only recently and rooms are excellent. Staff is very helpful and polite. Pool is a bit small but perfect to relax at the end of day. Or whenever you start your day later.Breakfast is in collaboration with a place 1min away and is taken good care off. Choices and taste are overall just good.They did tell Kura B is planning to build their own kitchen in the near future. But the 1min (literally) walk shouldn't trouble you.

    We are locals and wanted a relaxing escape from our usual routine. This place was extremely relaxing, with a beautiful pool surrounded by large trees to provide a great mix of shade and sun. The hotel is very well located with many great restaurants within a few minutes walk. The rooms are very well designed for an authentic Curacao experience. We would highly recommend a stay to both couples as to individuals visiting Curacao.

    I think this is best hotel in Curaçao!It is sweet and charming, the rooms are very clean and well kept. It is comprised of several buildings within the property. Vivid colours both inside and outside of the rooms. Lots of lush foliage and very serene, literally perfect for retreating from busyness and embracing relaxation.It’s tucked in Kura Hulanda village so there’s plenty to do and eat without walking more than 10 minutes but I recommend exploring nearby neighbourhoods like Otrabanda (where the hotel is), Punda and Pietermaai which are all walking distanceWhat’s most memorable is the keen hospitality of the KB team. I felt welcomed throughout the duration of my stay, not just upon arrival. They happily answered every question I had and was consistently kind and helpful.Janette, Teresa, Disney, Darrel, Rosalita, and the young lady w the cute headscarf that complimented my crocs - you guys are amazing!My only regret is leaving such a good review bc now I risk KB not being available when I return!

    What a great holiday we had here!Very new boutique hotel where nothing is too much to ask.A super service with people who do everything they can to make your holiday the best!Rooms are very nice, modern and spacious!Location is perfect to stay away from the hustle and bustle, but still be close to the center.The district is in full bloom and is very pleasant to be in. A drink, a snack in a quiet setting where most tourists have not yet found their way. A gem!Breakfast at Maira's kitchen was great!Thank you to all staff! You make the experience and trip even more beautiful.GreetingsKaren and Yannick

    We had a wonderful stay at Kura Botanica! It just opened, everything is new, thought about and the service is nothing short of amazing!It is beautifully situated in the middle of Willemstad, close to the Pontjesbrug, in a neighborhood that exudes and exudes innovation. The people are fantastic, the breakfast at Maira delicious. We would like to come back soon!Amelia and Martin

    This fully renewed boutique hotel is truly a beauty. Completely renovated, it lies in historic Willemstad on one minute walking distance of the Anna Bay and very close to some of the nicest beaches in Curacao

    De Visserij Piscadera

    Verse zeevruchten in een informele omgeving aan het water. Bij De Visserij kan men kiezen uit hele rode snapper, garnalen, of vis van de dag. En hoewel het niet de plek is voor een chique maaltijd, worden gasten als familie behandeld.

    Het menu verandert dagelijks, afhankelijk van de vangsten van de vissers, en het restaurant gaat er prat op dat het alles wat gevangen wordt binnen enkele minuten kan bereiden.

    U moet in de rij gaan staan bij de balie voordat u plaats kunt nemen aan de picknicktafels buiten. Maar maak je geen zorgen over te lang wachten; de keuken sluit stipt om 20.00 uur, zodat gasten genoeg tijd hebben om hun maaltijd af te maken.
    En vergeet niet te vragen naar het gratis broodmandje met knapperige broodjes, zelfgemaakte boter en jam.

    Naast de zekerheid van mooi weer, geweldige stranden, fantastische cultuur en happy hours zal Curaçao ’the foodie experience’ zeker niet teleurstellen.
