Bluebird Gastro Pub

Laid back little bar, filled with art and colorful décor. For many years it has been known as a popular late-night spot, where friends meet and talk into the early wee hours. Ask John to play you some music on request or simply join his table in the alley for some conversations with locals. People there are welcoming and friendly. Tip: Check out the gorgeous tile floors, that are more than 100 years old.

Bonchi Coffeehouse

Adorably perfect and precise, with a casual ‘all are welcome’ atmosphere. This really is a specialty café. Everything they do has a fun flare of caring to it - a love for their clientele and food found in every detail…and that attention to detail is part of their repeat customer appeal. Bonchi has wonderful delicacies to have with your Coffee or Tea, or healthy Sandwiches and Salads if you are looking for something more substantial. Much of their menu is ‘Plant-Based’ with many Vegan options. Located in the heart of Punda, this is a great spot to stop and snack as you explore.

De Buren

This venue is nestled into the Wilhelmina Square patio just across the street from the famous Curacao sign in Punda. Here you will find a relaxed shelter from the sun under a covering of umbrellas and awnings. It’s a very popular venue for Punda-bound shoppers, site-seeing travelers, and day-trippers from the Cruise Liners. Locals stop here too for a Coffee, Drink or Bite to eat. In fact, some days it is jammed full of people and it’s hard to get a seat, especially on Formula One Sundays, where crowds can be found glued to the TVs no matter what time the race is held. The menu is quite diverse and serves both local and Dutch cuisine – check out the daily specials and happy hour from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. TIP: Great Instagram photo op of the huge Curacao Sign, after or while you eat.
