We had a tasty and healthy meal. We each had an orguyo bowl which has moro (rice & beans), plantains, corn, avocado and beets.
We also shared a RustiQ salad - it's definitely large enough for two. The roasted potatoes in it were especially delicious.
However, we would have liked a bowl with quinoa even more but I guess that isn't traditionally used here.
They don't accept cash there. Their signs: "We are cashless".

Beautiful location with great welcoming servers. The food was good & they have unique offerings. Get the rustiq iced tea (peach): it's so good! The parchita is good as well.

RustiQ is conveniently located in a beautifully shaded area with picturesque artwork and a beautiful vibe.

Typically, I am not a huge fan of open faced sandwiches, but the flavor and bread to meat ratio was on point for their cod sandwich. The cocktails were also very refreshing and delicious, definitely recommended if in the area.

I love sitting at Rusti and enjoying a nice breakfast or lunch. This place is cozy, with delicious food and friendly, attentive staff. I enjoy watching the birds sing and people go by. It's such a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a meal.

I wanted to try some local dishes. We ordered a Banda Bau, a goat stew with coconut rice, and a Banda Mei Mei, that is fish with polenta. Also, I tasted iguana soup for the first time. The amount is quite sufficient, even if the dishes are of gourmet type.

The food was ok. The atmosphere, next to the slavery museum, is really nice. Service was decent. Drinks were nice too.

There was a private event being set up downstairs, but luckily we could still sit upstairs outside.

The staff is very friendly and the food is very fresh. As a person who hates mayonnaise, I asked if there would be any on my dressing and there was not. But the second dish had mayonnaise as a decoration — luckily not my dish. Portions are not huge USA overeating sized, but European sized (yay!). Quality over quantity!

Since the staff was setting up for the event, they forgot to bring us the second round of beers, but no worries as we needed to leave as we had an early morning.

Would come here again for the other dishes 😄

Service with a genuine smile and the food was finger-licking good. It was hard to pick something of the menu, so I’ll have to go back to try the other dishes! I also had two of the lemonades which were both tasty and refreshing.

Beautiful and comfortable restaurant with absolutely delicious, local Curaçaon-fusion cuisine that has a nice vibe and ambience. I ordered the goat stew with coconut rice small portion and fresh lemon grass tea one day then came back for more. On the second day, I ordered the pumpkin soup with boiled plaintains and it was a nice combo.

Highly recommend a meal here after exploring the area.
By the way, the Kura Holanda museum is right next door so this is the perfect day trip.
The service was very friendly and prompt as well.

PS: Card only. No cash
