restaurants dining cuisine on bonaire restaurants dining cuisine on bonaire bonaire s restaurants provide a rich mixture of food choices at last count there were over 100 restaurants serving eclectic

turfs made with argentine or brazilian beef at the seafood restaurants italian and mediterranean style restaurants offer a wide range of delectable from pasta to traditional menus mexican japanese sushi spanish tapas or bites and american favorites can be found h as well however we don t have any fast food burger joints nearly all major restaurants can offer vegetarian dishes as well international influences are evident in bonaire s culinary scene it should come as no surprise that bonaire has a rich mixture of food choices there are over 70 different cultures from which to draw recipes and many variations bonaire is not blessed with much locally grown food and has to rely heavily on imports and ship schedules for procuring fresh produce however with more frequent direct flights from europe and the us a lot has changed over the past few years choosing a restaurant for a list of recommended restaurants and dining facilities on bonaire click here many of these restaurants would be happy to provide special occasions or catering information for any party planning you may need many restaurants are shore front and offer bars as well as sit down dining with bonaire s year round good weather most restaurants also offer outdoor dining during the busy winter months or if you have a large group we recommend advance reservations bonaire s chefs win awards year after year for the last few years bonaire s restaurants have put together a team of talented chefs and taken part in the taste of the caribbean culinary competition to compete against their counterparts from other islands in the region the competition is fierce with 20 islands sending several chefs to challenge each other s culinary skills bonaire has consistently placed among the top medal winners and brought home the gold additional information for dining on bonaire reservations closed days it s recommended that if you want to dine at a particular restaurant on a given day especially for dinner you make reservations during normal periods it may suffice to place your reservation on the same day as your intended meal however for waterside dining it may be a good idea to call a day or even more in advance the front desk at the hotel where you re staying can help you with this making reservations is also a good way to make sure that the restaurant you desire to dine at will be open most bonairean restaurants except those at hotels tend to be closed one night a week getting service and your check on bonaire our philosophy is that people enjoying a meal out shouldn t feel rushed waiters and waitresses in our restaurants will check on you to make sure you re doing fine but are not pushy about it also since all meals are prepared fresh from scratch they may also take a little longer to cook and bring out to your table but once you sample your meal you ll know the wait was worth it finally when you re done with your meal and ready to move on you may need to let your waitperson know bonairean dining means letting diners determine when they are ready to leave that means not forcing a check on guests who aren t yet ready to leave tipping service charges some restaurants may add a standard 10 or 15 service charge to your bill if you feel the waitstaff performed an outstanding job feel free to add a little more keep in mind however that if no service charge was automatically added and you felt you had good service a tip is appreciated total tipping on bonaire is similar to that in north america namely 15 20 of the bill payment u s dollars are the currency on bonaire additionally many accept major credit cards but be sure to check ahead of time if this is a concern please also note that there are atms within walking distance of most restaurants in the center of town local food one of the special treats available to visitors to bonaire is the chance to sample local food you may see a sign aki ta bende kuminda krioyo or local food sold here
