Curacao One Night in Aug.

Any new tips for one special dinner in Punda or Otrobanda this August?

    After recently spending 10 days on Curacao and eating my way across the place, I have two favorite places on the island. The best bet for your location would be the Wine Cellar. The service and food is phenomenal and it is a family run place (a father and two sons). I can't say enough great things about the meals there and the Dover sole is not to be missed! They also offer a free shuttle service to local hotels (city hotels) if you don't have a car or if you want to get your drink on and not worry about having a designated driver.

    My other favorite place which is way over in Westpunt is Landhuis Misje, which has excellent food but served in a more casual atmosphere. Still fine dining but you are at picnic tables outside as opposed to a formal dining room.

    I found it somewhat difficult to find information on the island before heading there, so feel free to ask any questions!

      Mels, I think I am sold on Wine Cellar. It sounds great. I read stellar reviews elsewhere. MUCH appreciation.
