A dinner at this restaurant is always a tasty and elegant experience. Special requests are always taken care of by the friendly staff. The food is delicious , at times a bit too creamy, but overall excellent especially if paired with their fantastic wines!! The ambiance is wonderful , the location perfect. A classic choice that never fails!!

We got there rather early , at 7:00 and most of the tables were unoccuppied so we were a little afraid but our fears proved unfounded. The food has been beyond reproach. We tried the lobster bisque, the tuna tartare, the duck brest, the young mutton, the dover sole, the crepsuzettes All delicious . A well balanced wine list out... More

On our last night of a 6 day trip to Curacao, we decided to go to one of the hotel recommendations for the finest restaurant in Curacao. The restaurant is quaint and service was impeccable. The food was outstanding. What put it over the top for us, was the offer from the owner to provide a ride back to the... More

Went to The Wine Cellar for our anniversary on April 22 and once again were treated to the most outstanding meal and finest personalized service we had during our week on Curaçao. It's an ambience unlike any restaurant on the island; you are transformed to a fine European home, decorated with beautiful eclectic artwork and collectables, and among old friends.... More

My friend and I were guests on a cruise ship that docked in Curacao until 11pm. We decided to treat ourselves to a nice dinner off ship for a change of scenery. We are so glad we tried the Wine Cellar. This is casual elegance at it's best. Warm, attentive service without pretense. Excellent food and a top shelf wine... More

The complementary smoked salmon appetizer was fantastic, the best salmon I've ever had. And the sauce for the scallop appetizer was amazing, probably one of the best things I have ever eaten. My meal was very good but the real stars were the appetizers that night. The atmosphere is different than the rest of the island - very eclectic but... More

lovely little bistro tucked away near the church on the north east side of town. Friendly waitstaff, great food, cool room and elegant decor. What a little gem!

The four of us went there recently. Menu offerings were great. Delicious food. There is no view at this restaurant but the food is great and service is, too. The owner makes a point of visiting each table to welcome his guests. Nice touch.
