Curaçao Dive & Dine: Bistro Le Clochard

For a fine-dining experience with spectacular views of Willemstad, book a channelside table at Bistro Le Clochard, serving Swiss and French cuisine in the historic renovated Rif Fort since 1978. Call ahead to ensure you can try the signature dish, Le Potence: succulent tenderloin cubes cooked at your table on solid steel spikes, “the most ingenious spectacle that will ever adorn your table.” The enormous tarpon drawn to the restaurant lights also are a spectacle in themselves.
