Caña Bar & Kitchen

Top choice in Willemstad


With low-lit environs and provocative murals, Curaçao's first gastropub remains at the top of its game. Inventive tapas include the likes of passionfruit ceviche with sweet potato and red pepper, and they pair exceedingly well with the small, potent selection of rum-, pisco- and tequila-based cocktails. You can also build a highball with house-made sodas such as passionfruit-cucumber or grapefruit-basil.

Don't leave without sampling the chocolate taco (ganache and mousse, kumquat compote, blood-orange sorbet).
