Three days in Paramaribo
A workable three-day plan: the UNESCO inner city on foot, a day across the river in Commewijne, and a third day that depends on what you want from Suriname.

Javanese-Surinamese restaurant in the Blauwgrond district of northern Paramaribo, grown from a small warung into a sit-down restaurant with both a terrace and air-conditioned indoor seating.
Best for javanese food, group dinners.
Mirosso is a Javanese-Surinamese restaurant in Blauwgrond, the district in northern Paramaribo that began as a Javanese village and is still where the city's Javanese cooking is concentrated. Most of what you eat in Blauwgrond comes from small warungs built in front of family houses; Mirosso is one of the few sit-down restaurants among them, with a terrace and an air-conditioned room.
The address, J. Samson Greenstraat 104, and the phone number +597 455362 come from a Suriname Yellow Pages listing checked on 21 August 2026. That listing carries a "last updated May 2023" stamp, so treat the address as solid and the trading hours, which nobody publishes, as something to check before you go.
Getting to Blauwgrond means a taxi or a car; it is well north of the historic centre and not a walk.

Four everyday kitchens share one small city. This is what we have been able to verify about where to eat in each of them, and where the gaps are.

Twenty-nine verified places to eat and drink, in one table: which kitchen, which part of town, when they are open, and what we could not confirm. Use it to plan a day of eating rather than a single meal.
