We are close to finishing 16 days on Bonaire. It's been a couple of years since we've been back on the island, so Cactus Blue was not here on our last visit. By this point in our vacation, we've eaten almost everywhere--some good, some not so good. Cactus Blue is one of only 2-3 places that will get another visit from us before our departure.

Larry, I, too am a huge fan of CB. In speaking with Corinna, I learned that all of their menu items are things they like to eat themselves ! I'm sure that helps when planning a menu.

Count us in. We'll be going back to the blue in couple of weeks!

Was there for a second visit last nite. Food was just as good as before and the service is really first rate. Since I live here, I seldom go out to eat except when I have friends visiting the island. I think I will invite a few more!

We love Cactus Blue! Also, never had a flyer on our truck during a two week visit in June.

I just wish the Tuna was not so good and I could order something else. Maybe I can convince CB to make a sampler entre....

NO FAIR !!!

Kelly - I must confess that I too had Gouda last night and I do believe that it was also from Kroger and it too was just gross. Granted tastes have changed for me but UGH! It was pretty nasty.

I always bring cheese back when I visit Bonaire and Italy. I get the strangest looks from the customs people. I was asked last time if I own a cheese factory! LOL! Nothing like real gouda, mozzarella and pecorino!
|
By Kelly (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #4710) on Thursday, September 7, 2006 - 12:07 pm: |
Rosanne, I didn't know if I was allowed to bring cheese back or not. Next time I will!

Kelly, you have not tried my Curry...yet.

By Kelly (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #4713) on Thursday, September 7, 2006 - 9:32 pm: |
Michael, I do believe we have a date. Maybe even in February? (I might have two men with me, though; one a little smaller than the other one).
|
By Quita Malouf (New BonaireTalk Poster - Post #6) on Thursday, September 7, 2006 - 10:08 pm: |
Yup, the folks at Cactus Blue are quite friendly, far more than almost any other restaurant on the island. That goes a long way in my book.

Kelly...you've got it..

Thank you all for giving me another place to try on Bonaire. It was not yet open on our last trip. We shall be there in December. Everything sounds really great. Congratulations to the owners for being so innovative with a menu. How is your wine list?

Hurray for Cactus Blue! Great food and service! Corinna is terrific. And as for the flyers hopefully she won't need them anymore as word of mouth and BonaireTalk let everyone know about the restaurant!

By Steve Jorgensen (BonaireTalker - Post #41) on Tuesday, September 12, 2006 - 3:58 pm: |
Can anyone tell me where Cactus Blue is located? Sounds like I need to go at some point during my next trip to the island (December 2-10).
|
By karen gaffner (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #122) on Tuesday, September 12, 2006 - 7:35 pm: |
you can find it right next door to Casablanca.

By Mara Mara on the wall (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #737) on Tuesday, September 12, 2006 - 8:07 pm: |
If you go from "downtown" toward the airport do not turn down the road that goes toward the soccer arena stay straight and it less than a block on the right.
|
By Steve Jorgensen (BonaireTalker - Post #42) on Tuesday, September 12, 2006 - 8:42 pm: |
Thanks Karen and Mara -- I have a great idea of where to find it. Didn't need a flyer -- just y'all to convince me to try it.
