Local Cuisine
A mix of over 50 cultures, Curaçao's food is as varied as its residents.
Because much of Curaçao's food is imported, island visitors enjoy access to international cuisine with a local flavor. Taste the variety of Dutch, Spanish, Creole, Indonesian, and many, many more flavors in our culinary delights.
You can sample authentic local food at Curaçao's famous old market, Marsche Bieuw in downtown Willemstad. Hygiene and food quality are excellent, portions are generous, and prices can't be beat. Seating is strictly first come-first served, at a few small tables or at long counters. Each stand is independently operated. Be sure to see the small paintings depicting rural life of old times that adorn the vents above the cooking areas.
