Curaçaoan cuisine is a flavorful fusion of African, Dutch, Latin American, and Caribbean influences. Popular dishes include “keshi yena,” a cheese stuffed with spiced meat or seafood, and “stoba,” a hearty stew made with beef, goat, or chicken. “Funchi” (cornmeal) is often served as a side, along with “pan bati” (cornbread-like pancakes). Fresh seafood, such as grilled fish and “sushi,” is widely enjoyed. Local snacks like “pastechi” (savory pastries) and “empanadas” are favorites, reflecting Curaçao’s rich cultural diversity.
