Description: Situated high upon a hill at the harbor's entrance, Fort Nassau has a beautiful 360 degree view over part of the island and the city of Willemstad with the unique bridges that connect Punda and Otrobanda. At night a sea of lights stretches to the horizon offering a most spectacular view. Restaurant Fort Nassau offers "Casual Fine Dining". Lunch and dinner are served in the semi open-air restaurant. The historical setting and contemporary interior, breathtaking view, and good food, make your visit to Fort Nassau a memorable experience.

Well worth a return visit. Upon being seated at this former colonial and WWII fortification on a hill overlooking Willemstad and ocean on one side and the bay and refinery [Not as bad as you may think, and quite scenic being well lit in the night sky] on the other cocktails were offered and served. After some warm bread we both tried the Dijon Mustard Duck Soup which was outstanding. A generous portion of nicely seasoned Lamb Chops was ordered by my dining companion. I had the Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin which, except for the unexpected mushrooms in the vegetable medley, was outstanding and filling. Dessert offerings were pretty standard but nicely presented and well accompanied with a after dinner liqueur.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here, and with advanced reservations, had a seat next to the fort wall overlooking Willemstad. The view was great, and the food was delicious. They became quite busy for a Wednesday night, especially as we approached the 8p hour (which we have learned is a very popular time to head out to dinner in Curacao). Be sure to make your reservations in advanced to get the fort wall tables, otherwise you will be inside. Still a view from there, it's just more of the oil industry view than the city. Be sure to have reliable transportation to get there... it's quite a steep climb up the street to get to the fort!

Thank you Jeffer_V for taking the time to leave us your wonderful review! I am happy you enjoyed your special dinner at our Fort. Indeed it is best to make reservations so you can choose your favorite table. Early bookings are always nice, especially at the high tables on the terrace, so you can also enjoy the sunset. Thank you for your visit!

My husband and I ate here during our 5 day trip to Curaçao. With it being Sunday night, we had limited options with which restaurants were open. We chose Fort Nassau because of the history of the building and the view. The history and the view was about the only good things. We started with the scallops, which were pretty good, but the meal went down hill quickly. I had the salmon and my husband had the grouper. The meats alone were ok, but the risotto and sauces with the meats were terrible. I decided to just try dessert, but the apple pie was so bad that it tasted sour. Please do not waste your money or time.
