About
Perched at Havenhoofd 2 in the harbour town of Willemstad, Vista commands a sweeping view over the Hollands Diep and the marina below. That setting alone would make it worth the journey — but the restaurant earns its destination status on culinary merit just as much. The terrace was named Terras van het Jaar in 2023, a reflection of an outdoor dining experience few Dutch restaurants can match.
In the kitchen, chef Henrie van der Heijden crafts a modern French menu that has earned both a Michelin star and a 15/20 from Gault&Millau. Diners can choose from à-la-carte, a four-to-seven-course menu, or a prestige menu of four to five courses centred on the most exclusive seasonal produce available. Front-of-house, Ingrid van der Heijden leads a team whose warm and attentive hospitality is as much a part of the Vista experience as the food itself.
The wider dining world has taken notice too: Vista features in the 2026 Lekker Top 500 and holds a 4.5 on Google across more than 550 reviews. With a price range of €92.50 to €135.00, outdoor seating, and easy online reservations, Vista is the kind of table worth planning ahead for.
