Seaside Terrace

Curaçao


Here red snapper, mahi-mahi and other fruits de mer are pan-fried and served with a supertasty secret Creole sauce. The furniture doesn't match. The forks bend. And the service is endearingly gruff. Yet this place is an island institution, serving what many say is Curaçao's best seafood. Located just north of Mambo Beach.

By the way, here's your chance to do your part to save the reef: sample the lionfish (an invasive species); you won't regret it.
