I know this is an old topic and I honestly tried to research it before bothering you all. What happened to the Swiss Chalet Restaurant? I have been to Bonaire 8 times and loved that place - the owners were great. Obviously I have not been to Bonaire in a few years but am planning a trip in Dec - when I tried to find info on Swiss Chalet it is no where to be found. I hope the owners won the lottery and are living happily ever after. If someone knows the story I would appreciate any info.

I know they closed the restaurant, and a bar did open. I am not sure what happened to the owners, or if the bar is still open.

I think they closed a year ago last March.

It's now called "Lees" and they have big screen TV to watch games and such. Suzie is out of the restaurant bus I believe.

Not sure what the menu is like, maybe Michael Gaynor knows? It has gotten good reviews

Suzy is now running the resort at Blue Divers. That gives me front row access to Noldy's rosti which I am addicted to :-) Feel free to stop by any time Monday through Saturday to say hi.

Lee's bar is indeed a bar. No menu. No restaurant. He does have cold Polar though and some small food items like toasted sandwich and hot dog. The place opens at 7.35PM.

I remember passing Swiss Chalet many times when I lived on Bonaire. For a long time we didn't go in because, to be honest, it didn't look that great.

However, after our first visit we were hooked. The food was superb, especially the Chicken Cordon Bleu and the Rosti. Suzy was brilliant, she always had us laughing, it was a sad day when they closed.

That said, we love Lee's Bar and have had some great times there. Lee is (or should be) a star!

Susie and Nollly are really missed. Any one have a good rosti recipe..

I miss the raclette!

Bas, is there a restaurant at blue divers, or is it just a dive shop and she makes the rosti for you?

I miss the Swiss Chalet too...and their wonderful food...waaaaaaa...

Tink, I know of a place in Aurora and another one in Geneva, that make outstanding Rosti!

Leo...where? I live in St. Charles.

The Geneva Diner (14 S 2nd St). They use a secret code-word for Rosti, lest they get crowded. Ask (with your voice hushed down a bit) for hash browns.

Ah...we are Mel's Diner people.

Mel's good too I love Geneva. Can you tell me of a more quaint, peaceful, picturesque city in Illinois?

No restaurant at Blue Divers. Noldy makes me the rosti at his home when we have dinner there. Maybe I have to engage in a small side business with Suzy and start offering dive trips with rosti after the dive

Bas, book me for a few of those dives in January Noldi's, farmer's rosti - mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Actually, I never had a meal that Noldi prepared that didn't make me go mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
