Great Food and Amazing Beers! Plain Café Wilhelmina is one of my favorite spots in Curaçao for breakfast, lunch, or even dinner. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the food selection is fantastic! My personal favorite is the Bernard—tenderloin strips served with a fresh salad. I usually pair it with french fries, and it’s always delicious. What really makes this place stand out is the variety they offer: • Daily Specials: They have a “broodje van de dag” (sandwich of the day) and a lunch special daghap for those looking for something fresh and unique. • Beer Selection: The beer menu is incredible, offering the largest variety on the island! From IPAs and brown beers to white beers, blonde beers, magnums, non-alcoholic options, and lagers, there’s something for everyone. Beer lovers will especially enjoy the experience. • Vegetarian Options: They also cater to vegetarians, which is a big plus for anyone looking for plant-based meals. • Happy Hour: A perfect time to relax with friends and enjoy their amazing drink selection. Whether you’re here for a quick bite, a leisurely meal, or just to explore their impressive beer assortment, Plain Café Wilhelmina is a must-visit. The food is always fresh, the service is friendly, and the variety keeps you coming back for more. Highly recommended for locals and visitors alike!

Location and atmosphere are great, but the food and service were lacking. We came for a quick beer and small bite before dinner. Loved the atmosphere so we were drawn in, but it was hard to get service. The beer we ordered wasn’t great (tasted flat - not sure if it was the beer or the restaurant’s fault) and got the homemade cheese balls - eating one was good but more than that and it just tasted sort of fried and gross. Maybe the meat / regular dishes are better, I don’t know, but we ended up finishing neither the beer nor the small bite. Had so much trouble getting the attention of a server to pay that I finally just got up and walked to the hostess desk.

Outdoor seating only. Amazing food, great beer selection!

Today, July 6, 2024, we went there for dinner. Our waitress, who had an earphone on, was unfriendly to say the least. No greetings or even a smile on her face. We ordered our drinks and asked for menu for the food. She said she would bring them, which she never did. As a matter of fact she never came back to our table even though she was taking care of the table right next to ours several times. She was obviously ignoring us. It was happy hours so many drinks were priced two for one. My Mojito looked nice but literally tasted like lime water. My companion had Henry’s Gin Tonic and it also tasted watered down. We didn’t eat anything since we never got the menu. Eventually we paid for the bill and left. We went there partially for the high ratings on Google Maps. It certainly turned out to be a terrible experience and we for sure will never go there again.

Food was ok but service really slow. I asked for a second drink with my lunch and it took 10 minutes to arrive and only came after I asked again. The staff were all chatting at the bar. I watched them put three glasses of water on a tray. Five minutes later after some more chatting the barmaid finally poured my drink and put it on the tray and eventually the waiter took it over.

Lovely place to sit and have great food. The people are so nice and the service is great. In the middle of the city there is a great vibe! It's right in front of the Curaçao sign which is a fun place to take pictures to remember the beautiful moments on the island
