Top Curacao Dining Experiences

We booked this trip during our honeymoon because, unfortunately, our stay at Sandals hadn’t been quite the relaxing experience we had hoped for. We wanted to do something really special for ourselves - and this ended up being one of the absolute highlights of our time in Curaçao.My wife suffers from motion sickness, so I was worried the boat might be too choppy for her. Hilde immediately reassured us that it would be a gentle, relaxing trip - and she was absolutely right.From the moment Hilde collected us from our resort, she was fantastic. She looked after us every step of the way and constantly checked that we were both comfortable and enjoying ourselves.Our captain, Nobert, was brilliant too. He made my wife feel completely safe and relaxed on the water, and the journey was wonderfully peaceful.Then came the best part: they took us to a beautiful secluded beach where we had the entire place to ourselves for two hours to snorkel. It honestly felt like our own private piece of paradise.Afterwards, we were treated to an absolutely delicious lunch before sailing back. The whole experience was peaceful, personal and completely unhurried.After what had been quite a stressful few days, this was exactly what we needed. We came back feeling genuinely relaxed and incredibly happy.A magical experience from beginning to end. Hilde and Nobert went above and beyond to make the day special for us, and we honestly cannot recommend them highly enough.Thank you both for giving us such a wonderful honeymoon memory! ❤️

Around 6:00 PM, we started with a lovely boat trip around the beautiful Spaanse Water, where we enjoyed a wonderful sunset. Afterwards, we were treated to a delicious dinner aboard The Floating Shaker.Many thanks to the friendly crew and captain for this amazing experience. Highly recommended! 💯

Our tour guide was amazing! We had a blast beach hopping . Our guide was knowledgeable and professional

We had the most fun day! We stopped to see flamingos, went to the oldest church on the island, and went to 3 beaches- Porto Marie, DaaiBooi, and Kokomo where we had lunch. We loved riding in the side by sides and experiencing the actual countryside.I highly recommend this for a super fun day!

If you are looking for an incredibly unique and unforgettable date night, this is one of the best we've ever experienced! Not just in Curacao, but anywhere in our travels! The trip begins with a delicious frozen cocktail on a party boat from a small marina, where you will be guided on an adorable cruise through a large multi-legged bay called spanish waters. The cruise will take almost an hour and you will get to see some cool shipwrecks, houses built on the water, some other marinas, and a very upscale part of the bay with some gorgeous boats and homes. At the end of the cruise they bring you to a smaller, private nook in the bay where a floating patio awaits you and yours. The patio is beautifully adorned with flowers, romantic string lights, a grill, and music of your choosing. Once at the patio you will take a seat at the dinner table and they will begin to bring the wine and 3 course meal that you will have preselected prior to the trip. (All of the food meal items are home made and out of this world delicious!) Aside from the wine they do provide some other drinks (ice, water, coke, sprite and orange juice). The appetizer is brought to you and served ready to eat, however one of the very unique and fun aspects of this experience was that you grill your own entrees. This gave the setting a very pleasant picnic date kind of vibe. (We chose the salmon, picanha, and lomito for our entree seafood/meats) Plus if you are like myself and like grilling then its cool that you can cook your meat/seafood exactly how you like it! As you near the end of the entree portion of the meal (depending on the time of year i suppose, we were there in may-june) you will notice the beautiful vibrant sunset putting on a colorful show adding to the serenity of the evening. And once the sun goes down youll be subtly lit up by the string lights and soon prepare yourself for a sweet-tooth satisfying dessert! After the all of the courses have been served, you will then have until 9pm on the patio when they will then come to pick you up for a short, quaint night cruise back to the marina where you began, thus concluding the night. Above all, they were the most kind, warm and welcoming folks, and we would love to spread the word so others may have as amazing of an experience as we did!

We were able to get an early start time. They picked us up close to the cruise terminal and drove us about 20 minutes to where our driver was waiting with the vehicle. He proceeded to drive us west. We stopped to see the flamingos on the way to hang out at three different beaches. Lunch was at a local restaurant. Our guide was fun and did a great job. Would highly recommend this tour.

This was a wonderful evening! Great food and wine. The staff was very attentive and pleasant. The chef explained the dishes and wine pairings well. I would highly recommend this experience!

Erwin was amazing! Took us to 3 beaches and an amazing side of the road authentic diner! Food was excellent! It felt like he was friend not a tourist guide! Enjoyed talking with him and learning about the island! Very knowledgeable! Highlight of our trip!

The Chef's Table was a fantastic dining experience!! Helmi's kitchen was incredibly cozy and comfortable. Service was top notch! The food was delicious and I will admit my favorite was the lion fish tiradito....amazing!! Wine parings were also perfect! I'm still searching for the Sauvignon Blanc that you served that night!! Can't wait to do it again!!

Great food, nice wines with the dishes, a cozy location. A nice concept, with strangers at the chef’s table. Enjoy the various dishes with local ingredients together. Helmi and her team had a great evening. A super nice experience richer.

This was such a delightful way to explore part of Curacao, learn about the history of Pietermaai, and enjoy coffee and refreshing lemonade!

The food was amazing, however, the wine was more dry than sweet. The sevice was excellent. It's family owned. The chef/owner was personable and came out to inquire about the service.

I done the floating breakfast experience for my birthday and it was amazing! The breakfast food was so good, especially the chicken salad sandwich. They even gave me a piece of cake for my birthday when I told them I was celebrating and also included a bday sign. When they brought out the tray with the breakfast on it, the flowers on it matched my swimsuit perfectly and I didn’t even tell them what colors I was wearing so that was cool! The guys also guide you on how to pose and what to do to make your drone videos come out great! The pictures and drone video footage was amazing! 10/10 experience! If you’re thinking about doing this, do it!! You won’t be disappointed!
