It was so hot the day we were in Bonaire. After touring the island we came back to Kralendijk to do some shopping and wander around. We walked through the small Harbourside Mall to the waterfront at the back and came upon Buenos Aires Cafe.

There is a wood-covered patio with table service and a counter for eat-in or take-out. The patio overlooks the sea and the cruise ship docks. There is a decent food menu (we didn't eat) and prices were reasonable. We opted for smoothies which were very good. This is a place I would have liked to try for breakfast. Maybe on my next trip!

This restaurant/cafe is a great place to have a quick bite or dinner. It's really close to the cruise ship pier to you can have a quick beer before getting back on the cruise ship. Try the Buenos Aires Burger, its a hamburger patty, with bacon and and egg on top. Its huge plus the french fries are awsome.

Favorite Dish: Try the Buenos Aires burger or the special catch of the day

Living in the US I kinda miss Dutch fast food. Not only is this place cheap but I was able to get my shorma fix on with chili sauce and fries..sorry I'm not that Dutch..no curry or mayonaise on my frites. This was my favorite place on the island..cheap/filling food. Why waste money on the rest of the overpriced ..cr...p on the island...(sorry I may an exception for fresh seafood).

Favorite Dish: Lamb shorma sandwich.....Ate that instead of McCrap when I was living in Amsterdam.

This place serves Tex-Mex food which was similar and a whole lot pricier than restaurants I've visited in the U.S. They mostly serve meat-cheese-tortilla dishes like enchiladas or burritos, or pieces of meat or fish covered in sauce. Our entrees were okay. Most of the side dishes were good but the beans are bland. Overall, there are better places in Bonaire for the price.

Favorite Dish: I can't remember what we had.

This place is sort of your typical bar-and-grill; it's got an open-air dining room with an open kitchen, uniformed smiley servers, and if you can finish the 1-pound Lion Burger you win a hat! The menu is huge with lots of choices of steak, fish, chicken, pasta, salads and more. There are daily dinner & drink specials.

It's breezy and overlooks the ocean, the food is fresh, and my spouse still has his hat!

Favorite Dish: The fish was good. Fresh and simple. The Lion Burger is pretty good with lots of fresh toppings.

This place was really good! There's a huge variety of desserts on display like croissants, cakes and canapés. They serve fresh pastries and coffee in the morning that's totally worth stopping in for, and advertise daily breakfast and lunch specials. Everything is very reasonably priced.

Favorite Dish: The chocolate-filled pastries and coffee were a sweet start to the day.

This place is at Captain Don's Habitat. We got pizza from here to bring back to our room on our last afternoon in Bonaire in between snorkeling trips. It was really good pizza; fresh toppings with a crispy crust. It's also ready very quickly.

Favorite Dish: The BBQ Chicken Pizza is spicy and cheesy, and works really well with the crispy thin crust.

We went here for lunch one day after hearing that the grounds and the reef at Captain Don's Habitat were really nice. We actually ended up staying there for our very last night in Bonaire when there was an overlap in bookings at our original accommodation.

The food was okay. They serve burgers, sandwiches, chicken fingers and other things like that. The thing worth mentioning about this place is that it's right next to the ocean and you can see all kinds of fish down in the clear water from where you're sitting, including a tarpon.
