Dining on Bonaire is a food lover's dream as you can find everything from Caribbean to South American and Asian cuisines. Many restaurants serve only dinner—only a few establishments not affiliated with hotels are open for breakfast, so check ahead.
Overlooking Lac Bay, the training ground for the famous Bonaire Windsurf Team, this breezy bar offers libations and tasty sandwiches, salads, and daily specials in a lively surfside setting until 6 pm most days, with the exception of Thursday, when there's a famous barbecue and live music well into the evening, and Sunday. Lounge beds, sofas in the sand, and lots of shady nooks make this a wonderful place to chill and party on the beach.
An excellent patio eatery at the Royal Palm Mall offers a excellent breakfasts and an eclectic range of soups, salads, sandwiches, and burgers for lunch. The vibe shifts at night, when the restaurant morphs into "Avocados," with a special menu devoted to these creamy, nutty-tasting delicacies. There are also rotating theme nights, like Taco Tuesdays, and Sunday brunch is also a treat.
Though “grandi” means “big” in Papiamento, this tiny spot is quite the opposite—the trendy downtown hideaway opened in 2022 and specializes in authentic, artfully plated Italian fare with some fusion accents, and always a fresh catch of the day, oysters on the half shell, and a well-curated antipasto selection. Try the chef’s surprise small-plate menu, which you can pair with wines.
Opened in 2021, this enchanting little secret garden enclave is the ideal spot to unwind after a day by the sea with high-end cocktails, gourmet tapas, and other shareables. Look for the oil lanterns outside a golden gate near famous Gio’s Gelateria to discover creative takes on classic meat and seafood dishes; fans of plant-based fare enjoy such meatless dishes as vegan tartare and beetroot tartelette.
