Plasa Bieu Food Market, Willemstad

Plasa Bieu, also known as the Old Market, is a bustling culinary hub where locals flock every weekday for a delicious and authentic lunch experience.

At the Old Market, six different kitchens entice visitors with a variety of Curacao's traditional dishes, creating an immersive and affordable journey into the island's culinary heritage. Whether you opt for a steaming bowl of kadushi soup made from candle cactus, savor red snapper or goat stew paired with funchi (polenta), or indulge in the sweet delight of an arepa di pampuna (pumpkin pancake) for dessert, each stand promises an authentic and mouthwatering experience.

Despite the made-to-order nature of the dishes causing a bit of a wait, the patience of visitors is generously rewarded with the rich and flavorful taste of real Caribbean cuisine.

Plasa Bieu provides a unique dining atmosphere with picnic tables, where patrons share seats with individuals from different walks of life.
