beautiful island. In this brochure, we selected our top picks
for restaurants, drinks, bites and entertainment for you
to experience the colorful island of Curaçao with all her
history, Caribbean culture and cuisine.
Curaçao has many international and cosmopolitan chefs
with a large variety of restaurants serving different cuisines
for you to enjoy. Though our Baoase Culinary Beach
Restaurant is believed to be one of the best restaurants on
the island for fine dining, we do recommend exploring the
other amazing restaurants and bars Curaçao has to offer.
In the heart of the resort: Baoase Culinary Beach Restaurant.
Where the sea brushes the legs of dinner tables. Executive
Chef René Klop combines his French techniques with a whiff

through simplicity. The beachfront location offers a beautiful

After the success of their Michelin starred Amsterdam restaurant
212*, Richard van Oostenbrugge and Thomas Groot opened their
first restaurant on Curaçao in the summer of 2019. They renovated
the beautiful ‘De Goede Hoop’ estate for their newest gastronomic
venture. 020 – which is Amsterdam’s area code – brings a whiff of
city to the shore. This is where the Curaçao flavor meets a world
class culinary experience. Whether the squid with celeriac puree
or roasted cod with coconut & lime sauce, every dish is uniquely
Curaçao. With breath-taking ocean views, light and relaxed dishes,
and an à la carte menu, 020 is definitely the cool, younger brother
of 212*.
