If you’re trying to find a Number Ten Curaçao review before going, this is exactly how it went for me. I wanted a breakfast spot that was unique, and this ended up being a really solid change of pace. I’d put it high on your list if you want something different from the usual lineup.
I pulled up to Number Ten and immediately noticed it didn’t feel like the typical beach restaurant setup. It sits a little tucked away, so it felt more like I found a hidden oasis instead of just pulling into a busy strip.
I had a car for the trip, which made getting here simple since it’s not right on the main beach areas. I booked mine through here and used it the entire trip to move between beaches and restaurants.
We had reservations (though I don’t know that they are necessary) and they gave us a table under the trees. There’s greenery everywhere, shaded seating, and a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces that all blend together without feeling crowded.
I looked around for a second and realized I was basically eating in a garden, which felt completely different from everywhere else I had been going. That part stood out right away.
I sat down and got fully distracted by the restaurant cat walking around like it owned the place (which, honestly, it probably does). It came right up to the table, and I immediately stopped caring about the menu for a second. Very cute. Very friendly. That was easily a highlight.
I opened the menu and saw everything from waffles and breakfast sandwiches to bagels, burgers, wraps, and salads. It covered both ends, so you could go light or actually get something filling.
I ordered the breakfast bagel on a croissant, and that was such a good call. It felt a little more elevated than a regular breakfast sandwich but still filling enough that I wasn’t thinking about food again right away.
Brad went in two completely different directions and ordered the fruit salad and the chicken and waffles. The fruit salad came out fresh and simple, and then the chicken and waffles showed up and clearly won the moment (shocking, I know).
I tried the waffles and immediately understood the hype. That waffle really stacked up (had to). If you’re deciding and actually hungry, I’d go straight for that.
I stuck with the breakfast bagel on a croissant, and I’d order that again without changing anything. It hit that middle ground between something simple and something a little better than expected.
Brad ordering both the fruit salad and chicken and waffles gave a good range to compare. The fruit salad worked as a lighter option, but the chicken and waffles is the move if you want something that actually feels like a full meal.
I noticed the rest of the menu had lunch options like burgers and wraps, and then more brunch-style options like waffles and breakfast sandwiches. You’re not going to struggle to find something here.
If you’re planning your food stops around the island, you can also check out my guide on Best Breakfast in Curaçao to compare this with a few other spots I tried.
I ordered an iced latte with my food, and they also had matcha, fresh juices, and cocktails like mimosas if you want something stronger. It has such a relaxing vibe that it makes you want to sit for a while and sip on your latte (I went with iced because the heat is a real thing here ha).
It can get warm depending on where you sit, especially outside—so just keep that in mind when you choose your table.
Bug spray is a good idea. The garden setting is beautiful, but it does come with a few bugs. If you forget, they actually had some available at the host stand, which was nice.
I added this stop between beach days, and it worked really well as a break from sand and saltwater. Same relaxed feel, just a completely different setting and better coffee.
If you’re planning out your days, you can see my Curaçao 7 Day Itinerary to figure out where this fits best without backtracking across the island.

I finished eating and realized this was exactly the kind of place I was hoping to find. The food was delicious, the setting felt tropical, and it didn’t feel like a repeat of anything else I had already done.
I’d go back to Number Ten Curacao for breakfast or lunch without thinking about it. The cat alone might convince me (not even exaggerating).
I stayed in a few different areas during my trips, and having a central location made getting here easier. You can look at here to find something that fits how much driving you want to do.

Flying out of Frankfurt at the crack of dawn? Stay at the airport, not in the city!
The Hilton Frankfurt Airport is connected to Terminal 1 and the long-distance train station, so the walk to your gate takes a few minutes and no taxi. The rooms are soundproofed so well you barely hear the planes, some have runway views, there’s a sauna, and the bread and butter at Rise are dangerously good. It costs more than hotels farther out. On a budget, the Hilton Garden Inn next door gets you the same walk for less.
Save this for your next Frankfurt layover ✈️
No landmarks, no crowds, no souvenir shops. Otterberg is the everyday side of Germany 🇩🇪
It’s a small town just outside Kaiserslautern. Lunch at Putai inside the historic Das Blaue Haus means crispy chicken in coconut curry and spring rolls with homemade sweet chili sauce, then a slow walk past the old church and quiet streets. The Palatinate Forest and Humberg Tower views are close by. If you want a packed itinerary this isn’t your town, but if you like good food and nowhere to be, you’ll love it.
Save this for your Germany road trip!
Every 6 minutes a new round unlocks, and you can eat your way around the world for two hours. 🌍🍽️
Masons in Kaiserslautern: Korean BBQ, Jamaican jerk chicken, raclette potatoes, crispy baked ricotta from Monaco, and the Belgian cookie cheesecake you’ll still be talking about the next day. €39-45 per person. Bring a group and pace yourself, because they charge for leftovers.

Sedona got me again 🌵
This was my second trip, and somehow I liked it even more. Every visit adds another trail, viewpoint, or restaurant to the list, and the list keeps getting longer. This time I stayed near Airport Mesa, with sunsets right outside my door and none of the crowds.
My Substack has everything I’d tell a first-time visitor: the lodge I’ve now stayed at twice, the experiences I’d do first, and the restaurants I’d plan my days around.

YES is always the answer... ✈️
I’m Wendy, and yes, I travel for a living (still pinching myself). After 15 years teaching middle school math, I traded the whiteboard for a passport and never looked back. Knoxville is home base, but Arizona sunsets are on another level, and if it’s been sitting on your list, this is your sign to finally say yes and book it. City guides, hotel reviews, and foodie spots are all on the blog. So glad you’re here 🌵☀️
