Caribbean · International · Dutch•$$ – $$$•4.6(2,332)•Curaçao
The Otrobanda hotspot runs from morning coffee through late-night drinks, with an approachable lunch menu and refined dinner lineup. Expect friendly service, daily chef specials, and a crowd mixing locals with cruise passengers who want that postcard-perfect bridge view.
For more than two decades, Grand Café 'Gouverneur de Rouville' has welcomed guests into the former governor’s residence in Otrobanda. The historic building, with thick walls and breezy verandas, frames the best view of the floating bridge and Handelskade skyline.
The kitchen leans into Curaçao heritage—slow-cooked stews, Keshi Yena, island seafood—while weaving in European classics for well-rounded menus from morning to midnight.
It’s a spot where locals celebrate milestones and visitors linger over cocktails, soaking up the rhythm of Anna Bay below.
