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.
Curaçao also has its famous roadside "sneks" found all over the island where you can buy drinks, pastechis (savory pastries) and a lot more.
When in Curaçao, be sure to try local dishes like Kabritu Stoba (goat stew), Yuana (iguana, usually stewed), Keshi Yená (cheese stuffed with meat), and Ayaka (spiced meat wrapped in cornmeal dough and folded in banana leaves, usually only served around Christmas).
