Curacao Culinary Highlights

By , About.com Guide

When you're on Curacao for a beach vacation, take some time for these foodie attractions. Your options include a lively cooking class (that includes a little dancing), touring Willemstad's Floating Market, and of course eating authentic local cuisine -- fancy some stewed iguana?

Take a Cooking Class at Angelica's Kitchen

When you're traveling with a group, learn about local cuisine while enjoying wine, island music, and even a conga line at Angelica's Kitchen cooking classes.

Visit Willemstad's Food Markets

Willemstad has several interesting food markets, but the two you don't want to miss are the Floating Market, where Venezuelan produce vendors sell their wares from fishing boats, and The Old Market, where the locals lunch. (And where, yes, you might find some iguana stew. Or even some iguana soup.)

Stay in the Center of Everything at the Renaissance Curacao Hotel and Casino

This urban hotel is close to all of the attractions -- foodie and otherwise -- that Willemstad has to offer.
