Modern Caribbean cooking, wood-fired flavours and house-made baking at Kome in Willemstad’s Pietermaai district.
At Kome, dinner can start with something familiar and take an unexpected turn. Caribbean ingredients, international influences and cooking over wood give this Pietermaai restaurant its own character.
Kome means “eat” in Papiamentu, an appropriately straightforward name for a restaurant that puts its kitchen at the centre of the experience. Located on Johan van Walbeeckplein, it combines a wood-fired grill, a smoker and an in-house bakeshop.
The cooking draws on American and Caribbean influences, with room for ideas from further afield. Expect a choice that extends from grilled meats and seafood to vegetable dishes, rather than a menu limited to one culinary tradition. The restaurant also works with local producers.
It is worth looking at the type of service before booking. Kome offers different menus for lunch, dinner, brunch and its tapas concept. Choosing a tapas evening means planning around shared dishes; a regular dinner gives you a different way to explore the kitchen.
Pietermaai makes a pleasant starting point for the evening. Leave time to wander through the neighbourhood before sitting down, and check the official menus when deciding which visit suits you.
