Vegetarians and vegans eat well in Willemstad, between fresh market produce, specialty cafés with plant-based menus and naturally meat-free local sides.
The Floating Market overflows with tropical fruit and vegetables; Pietermaai and Punda cafés increasingly offer vegan bowls, smoothies and plant-based dishes.
Local sides like funchi, fried plantain, rice and beans, and tutu are often vegetarian
Ask for dishes "sin karni" (without meat). The café downstairs has plenty of meat-free options too.
