Cactus Cafe

As many have commented, you must order the African style banana and peanut soup.

Really great food. We’ll come back.

Great sea bass and barracuda. Peanut soup was amazing. Best food we'd had on the island

Amazing food and great service. Best beef curry I have ever had. Check opening times, because they are currently only open for dinner (5pm onwards).

The tenderloin with garlic sauce is possibly the best steak I have ever had. Fantastic service and great view.

A real treasure. After a day at the beach went hungry to Cactus. The ratings can’t be wrong - and they aren’t! A nice cosy place next to the street. Don’t expect a sunset view from there, but you’ll be paid off by the food and the charming service. Peanut soup with bananas is a must try. Else had the catch of the day which was Mahi-Mahi and was grilled as well to perfection. Wonderful place, not that costly like many other places on the island. A lovely unexpected great experience

The service here is amazing - the ladies are attentive and have the warmest smiles. Food was also amazing. We chose the catch of the day (Barracuda) which was filling and soft along with the pasta for the day (chicken alfredo). Very fair prices, best restaurant in the area, and definitely order the appetizer peanut soup when you visit! Will come again before we leave.

Our experience was amazing. Food was delicious. Service was great. My napkin got blown away and my server replaced it ammediately. I know see the purpose for the rock on the table. I chose to tuck it in my blouse, like a bib. This place is right on the water, so it maybe windy.

Excellent food, nice interior, great service!
We visited Cactus Cafe for a dinner during our trip to Curacao in February 2023.
All food from appetizers to dessert was excellent. We really enjoyed it. The service was friendly and precise. Interior was also very nice and warm-feeling.

Appetizers:
BBQ Wings
Greek Salad
African Peanut Soup - this was delicious and something we never tried before. I loved it. When I mentioned this to our waitress while paying the bill she offered me the recipe!

Mains:
Coconut Curry Shrimps
Tenderloin Steak - cooked medium rare, exactly as ordered.
Beef Stew - this was one of Curacao's traditional foods and it didn't disappoint.
Pesto Pasta with Beef

Desserts:
Apple pie - delicious
Brownie - freshly made and testing great.

Overall, we highly recommend this restaurant! We would come again if we had more days. Hopefully, we'll be back next time we visit Curacao :)

Excellent atmosphere and food! Two story open dinning room. I had the peanut soup, first time, and it was delicious. I could eat a bowl every day! The garlic bread was fresh with well seasoned butter, seems simple but so many restaurants get bread and butter wrong.
I had the vegetable burritos which were filled with well seasoned veg medley, served with a side of garlic sauce. My husband had the tenderloin burritos which he said were delicious. We loved the garlic sauce so much we kept asking for more. Service was great! Highly recommend if you’re in the Westpunt area of Curaçao.
