Number Ten Curaçao Review (Breakfast + What to Order)

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.

Getting to Number Ten Curaçao

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.

The Setting (Why This Place Stands Out)

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.

What the Food Is Like

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.

What to Order at Number Ten Curaçao

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.

Drinks (Also Worth It)

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).

Things to Know Before You Go

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.

How It Fits Into a Curaçao Trip

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.

Save this for later on Pinterest so you don’t forget it.

Is Number Ten Curaçao Worth It?

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).

Where to Stay Nearby

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.
