Seize the opportunity of your stay to taste the seafood. Fish is marinated or grilled. Fried, it is accompanied by funchi, a type of polenta. Mixed with beans and sugar, it becomes tutu. The inhabitants love stews made from goat, lamb, beef, chicken, conch, lobster and even iguana, for the most curious. They are served with rice, potatoes, or green beans.
Cucumber and cabbage are the favourite vegetables. Cactus is prepared in a soup. On the sweet side, coconut and peanuts dominate. Treat yourself to a cocktail based on the Curaçao liqueur. The island is also renowned for its restaurants that offer cuisine from all over the world. Similarly for Aruba and Bonaire.
