Eetcafé The Paddock
Sitting right on the harbor in Oranjestad, The Paddock blends Dutch pub comfort with a Caribbean backdrop. The open terrace faces the water, making it an easy place to sit with a beer and watch ferries and fishing boats come and go.
The menu sticks to pub classics - bitterballen, schnitzels, fries served in portions built for appetite, not ceremony. It’s casual, familiar, and has lasted long enough to earn its reputation the slow, honest way.
