Discover more about Landhuis Daniel restaurant

Landhuis Daniel, dating back to the early 1700s, stands as one of Curaçao's oldest plantation houses, offering visitors a captivating blend of history, nature, and culinary artistry. Located on the road to Westpunt in the rural neighborhood of Daniel/Tera Kora, the landhuis is surrounded by 'mundi,' the island's rugged, arid vegetation, complete with native birds, plants, and animals. Originally named Malpais (bad lands) due to its poor soil quality, the plantation was purchased by Daniel Ellis in 1711. Over the centuries, it has transformed from a working plantation to a beautifully restored restaurant and guesthouse, showcasing the island's rich history. The property even features the ruins of a 'mangasina' (storage space) and what are believed to be former slave quarters. Today, Landhuis Daniel is renowned for its eclectic menu, which blends French, Dutch, Caribbean, and Asian cuisines. Guests can savor fresh, local produce alongside seasonal Dutch specialties, all while dining al fresco on the shady terrace. The restaurant is also known for its Indonesian and oriental rice table, a popular choice among locals and tourists alike. The chef-owner, Jakke, also showcases his artwork in an on-site gallery. Whether you're seeking a romantic dinner, a family outing, or simply a taste of Curaçao's history, Landhuis Daniel offers an unforgettable experience.
