Last year we had incredible onion soup at the Bistro de Paris just north of town,couldn't get enough of it, is it still opened?

oui

yes and don't forget the chocolate fondue for desert

When did they start doing chocolate fondue? Is it only at dinner or do they offer it at lunch (or instead of lunch ).

Any time...just ask..mmmmm

OK Tribs, we have to try this in May

Okay.....where is Bistro?

Right next door to Pasa bon Pizza. Lovely place!

EVERYTHING we had was delicious! That cheese bisqicit in the middle of the big bowl of onion soup, to die for.
The resturant has 2 airconditioned rooms, (to get out of the noon sun) one for the larger groups and overflow, and a patio for dining.
Lunch prices quite reasonable.
Only went to lunch, but often!
A definate must try.

My favorite place for lunch in the western world. If Patrice has the Muscadet wine, while there, drink it up. C'est bon.

Jim turned us on to this place for lunch. Awesome. And I usually skip lunch.

had a Shrimp Po Boy for lunch the other day...first time I strayed from my cobb salad..Unbelievable what the French can do with few pieces of bread and some shrimp!! Delicious!!

Michael,
Thanks for recommending the salad with the fresh tuna to us when we were there a few weeks ago, it was fabulous.

Do NOT miss the rack of lamb, goat cheese (fresh, island made) salad, crème brûlée and if available for after dinner...Calvados! We enjoyed sitting outside with the cool Bonaire breeze and the resident dog who seems to savor the aromas emanating from the kitchen as much as we did. Patrice was a wonderful host even remembering us after our honeymoon trip 10 months earlier, greeting us with champagne! Does it get any better than that?? We look forward to seeing him again soon.

Tried this lovely place for the first time on our May trip, recommended by Michael. Had the cobb salad, also recommended by Michael, and it was fabulous! Had to go back a couple of days later & have it for lunch again! I see from reading the posts above we'll have to go back & try other things on our Dec trip. Loved this place, is now on our favorites list,

He also does an incredible lamb shank and chocolate fondue for desert..

I'll second that - the Lamb Shank is worth wathing out for. The only place on the island I've ever seen it. I didn't manage dessert after though.

next time, order desert first!!
