BAOASE RESTAURANT & NIGHTLIFE RECOMMENDATIONS

The Baoase family is very excited to welcome you to our

beautiful island. In this brochure, we selected our top picks

for restaurants, drinks, bites and entertainment for you

to experience the colorful island of Curaçao with all her

history, Caribbean culture and cuisine.

Curaçao has many international and cosmopolitan chefs

with a large variety of restaurants serving different cuisines

for you to enjoy. Though our Baoase Culinary Beach

Restaurant is believed to be one of the best restaurants on

the island for fine dining, we do recommend exploring the

other amazing restaurants and bars Curaçao has to offer.

In the heart of the resort: Baoase Culinary Beach Restaurant.

Where the sea brushes the legs of dinner tables. Executive

Chef René Klop combines his French techniques with a whiff

of tropical influences and Asian flavors. Add tremendous

ambition, and beach-proof dishes become something more.

Fresher. Refined. But still with a sandals-and-sundress-attitude.

René ingeniously combines ingredients to make them shine

through simplicity. The beachfront location offers a beautiful

backdrop for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just a perfect ending

to the day with cocktails. The restaurant was voted Best

Restaurant in the Caribbean by Caribbean Journal in 2017.
