Thought I would post our experiences. First about us, we are from Los Angeles and have traveled quite a bit. I have spent a few months in Holland so it was interesting to see the Caribbean version. I enjoy food a great deal and was disappointed with most of the restaurants we tried. I am not a food snob and don’t expect US style service but I do expect food that is cooked properly and served hot. If we go back we will get a place with a kitchen so we can cook.

Chris, sorry to hear about your Compadres experience. Compadres is one of our favourite spots on BON along with Richard's. We have always had Mexican food there on every visit.. I can't understand why you didn't get any? Such a shame, the food is really good. S

_Was_ really good, Sarah (and I'd beg to differ - it was mediocre in my opinion :-) . The former Compadres restaurant is the location of a new dining establishment run by Gonzalo Torres, former F&B manager at Harbour Village. I understand the pricing and food are both good, but haven't yet sampled the wares...

I think they have changed, Compadres did not have anything Mexican on their menu, I asked.

I have to agree with Chris

I can't say that I have ever had a bad meal or service at Rendevous. That's one of my favorite places to eat while I'm on the Island. Richards had ok food but great bread. City Cafe gave us good service and food.

I agree with you about the bread, it was good. At City Cafe, it was Christmas which could well explain the service but boy it was slow... The food did seem OK when it came but I was so hungry at that point it can't really say. Not much was open that night so pickings were slim. We had gone there before for happy hour and it seemed fine but we did not get food and got drinks from the bar.

I can both agree and disagree with the Captain on this one. While bonaire will never make the pages of Gourmet magazine, the food is far better than anything I ate in Russia or China (yech!).

To add to a comment David made, I concurr, Cultimara far surpasses all Caribbean markets I have seen. I used to work on boats so provisioned a bit and stopped in many Caribbean markets. Aside from also being a wind addict I love food ..when I travel to the UK, Paris, the Caribbean, Bermuda I do not bring home postcards, trinkets and perfumes. I bring home tea, jams, sauces and international goodies. Upstairs I have several bottles of various hot sauces, Sherry Peppers (Bermuda), Branston Pickle etc...

Annie, have you been to the Supermarket on Grand Cayman? Now that is the best supermarket I've ever come across.. far better than Cultimara and Warehouse put together.

The new name (actually old original name) is Captain Wook's. The will serve more of an international menu.
