New Market — Local services in Curaçao

I was advised to visit Yvonne's located upstairs for the best local food in Curacao and I wasn't disappointed.

Alongside the smoothies which were presented well, there were half coconut shells with mango chunks and a quartered orange that were topped with passion fruit pulp. The smoothies were great and it was nice to drink one made with all natural ingredients for a change.
