On the road to Westpunt, hidden behind a discreet gate in the middle of the "mundi" - the arid vegetation typical of the Dutch Antilles - Landhuis Daniel is one of Curaçao's oldest plantation houses, dating from the early 1700s. The shaded terrace under the trees creates a relaxed bistro atmosphere that contrasts with the quality of the food.
The kitchen blends French, Dutch, Caribbean and Asian influences, with seasonal specialties like mussels, oysters, white asparagus and game imported fresh from Holland and prepared French-style. The Indonesian rijsttafel remains the most requested dish, both by locals and visitors. Dutch pancakes in sweet or savory versions round out a menu that isn't afraid to surprise. Owner Jan also displays his watercolors inside, some are for sale.
