Top choice in Curaçao
Jaanchie himself often visits the tables in his restaurant near Playa Grandi, chatting to customers and explaining the menu. And it does require some explanation, as it usually features island delicacies such as iguana soup and goat stew. Guests sit in the festive open-air dining room and watch colorful birds flocking to the nearby feeders.
If you're lucky, you might finish your meal in one of the rocking chairs, enjoying a bowl of complimentary ice cream.
