Just received a promo from the island's tourism board that touts Bistro de Paris, Brasseria Bonaire, Chez Lucille, La Guernica Fish & Tapas and Wil’s Tropical Grill all as "new".

But, I'll bet they've all been open a couple of months, right?

So what Bonaire dining place is REALLY new (less than two months, or about to open)? Anyone?

was the promo form e z news? The places are not really new..Bistro and Brasseria and Wils are only a few months. The others a bit longer. As for newer, there are a few planned but can't really pin down exact opening dates.

I believe it was from a PR agency that handles Bonaire tourism promotion up here in the States. Thanks for the verification, though. I'll keep tabs on what is new and unfolding in Bonaire.

Mango's (at the Sand Dollar Resort) is (still) in the process of re-locating to the seaside platform, where the Green Parrot used to be. Breakfast is served seaside daily, and every Wednesday evening there's a Manager's Rum-Punch party & BBQ. Baby steps, but steps none-the-less...

Just the mention of the Green Parrot makes me salivate thinking of their Onion Loaf and the Burgers and fish. OMG I still miss it sooo o o much .

Ruth, is the Rum-Punch party open to everyone for a fee or just the Sand dollar guests? Very curious and would love to drop by. Thanks! Coach Izzy

It's like all the other "manager's cocktail parties" on the island; open to all, but its primary purpose is for the Sand Dollar guests to meet each other & the management. For a limited time, the rum-punch and/or fruit punch is free (I think 6-7pm); other drinks at happy hour prices, and the BBQ is an all-you-can-eat for about $10. I'm no longer directly involved in the day-to-day operations of Mango's, but I'll get more details posted ASAP.
