Unique dining experience in a very beautiful setting of Curacao. Food/Drinks was excellent and customer service of staff was very efficient and hospitable. I would highly recommend this place to escape the crowds, I was there during the afternoon daytime and it was not busy.When I left this place I forgot my bag on the bench which they found and kept safe, I returned after 2hours to pick it up again. 👍

Great food and even better people! Here they will explain the process of hunting these evasive fish! After this, you can order a variety of lionfish menu items! Everything taste great! You can also purchase jewelry made from the fins. The owner even sat with us and chatted.

It's great that they are so environmentally beneficial. They pay divers to spearfish this destructive invasive poisonous species.Then they create delicious meals from them.They have a video showing how the spearfishermen catch them

We didn’t have any food as the restaurant was closed, however, we visited during a walking tour and based on the owner’s bubbly personality you could just tell how passionate she is about what she is doing with the lion fish and aiding with sustainability. Could not leave without getting a pair of lion fish earrings

Great experience! I really liked that we started off the jewelry workshop with getting more info about the lion fish and seeing the fish itself, which gave a nice extra touch to it and was very interesting. Making the jewelry was really fun and super happy with the result! Ending the workshop with some delicious lion fish food, can definitely recommend!

Too bad I didn't try this place at the beginning of my trip, I would had gone back again and again. I had the dégustation meal but since everything was so delicious I ended up taking the tacos afterwards. The service, owners and staffs were a big 100%. The prices were very decent.

Run, don't walk, to Lionfish Caribbean!The owner, Lisette, was super knowledgeable and made time to chat about lionfish and educate her customers. It was super informative and interesting!This restaurant is the only restaurant in the world that guarantees lionfish every day.The lionfish tacos and lionfish tasting were delicious!They also sell beautiful souvenirs. The shop is located in a lovely location and has nice seating inside and outside.It's a wonderful restaurant and store! I would definitely return!

This restaurant's concept of cooking dishes solely from lionfish is brilliant. Not only does it help control an invasive species, but it’s also a super healthy option: lion fish is rich in omega-3 and low in mercury.The last but not the least, everything is delicious, we ordered a chef’s sampling, and liked everything. My personal fav is fish tacos tho.
