                    Good to know

                    • The Old Market (Plasa Bieu) in Punda is lunch only, 10am to 3pm. Not every stall takes cards, so bring cash.
                    • Menus are often priced in Caribbean guilders (XCG), not dollars. One dollar is about 1.79 guilders, so check your bill.
                    • Many beach restaurants (Mambo, Jan Thiel) fill up on weekends. Book ahead for a sunset dinner.
                    • De Visserij in Piscadera takes no reservations: you order at the counter, open Friday through Monday.
                    • Jaanchie's in Westpunt has no printed menu, so ask the price first. Reviewers paid about $20 a dish.
                    • Some bills already include a 10% service charge, as at Pop's Place. Check before you tip.
                    • Komedor Krioyo at Landhuis Dokterstuin is closed Mondays and only open in the daytime. Expect a wait for food.
