It was a last minute trip to a sunny destination to escape the dreary winter we’d been having. We joined some friends on a diving trip to Curaçao last April not knowing much about the destination.

I believe that I must have been one of Olive et Gourmando’s first clients back when they first opened in 1998. Flash forward 20+ years and I am still one of their most enthusiastic fans.
