My wife and I are taking our maiden voyage to Bonaire in October. We are planning on having breakfast and some lunches in the condo but hope to enjoy most dinners out.

Jamie, restaurants are very easy to locate -- with a few exceptions. There are easy to read maps available at the airport, rental car counters, and condo/resort reception desks.

Oh, forgot, feel like steak? Try Patagonia on the harbor. Nice waterfront dining and good food. I know, now that six, I better stop, hard to narrow just to five. You will just have to come back to try them all.

You can pick up the dining guide at the airport. Sometimes the car rental places have it too. They also usually give you a map. Real tiny island and easy to get around. No worries!

I recommend Cap't Don's for pizza and their BBQ night. The best bargain is the Rum Punch party followed by the pasta buffet at the Divi. All you can eat for about $20 per person and the pasta is prepared to your specifications as you watch.

Vince, I have a thing for truly exceptional bolognese sauce. When I make my own, I let it simmer for at least 8 hours. By the time it's served there isn't a droplet of water floating in the meat juices. I make my own pasta and I truly enjoy the dish, and I have constructed my own citara to cut my pasta -- I know, I know, ragu alla Bolognese is to be served with tagliatelle, not spaghetti, but no one is perfect.

Leo..Well we did spend several days in Bologna and I was able to stow away a nice mortatella to sneak through customs. The cuisine was magnificent. I believe they call this area the gastronomic capital of Italy. Yummy...And yes tagliatelle was the pasta served with the bolognese sauce.

Great responses, keep them coming. I can see already that it is going to be difficult to get them all in. The only solution I can see will be to come back again. And again.

I say Cactus Blue is one of my favorite restaurants - ANYWHERE! Great food and nice atmosphere. The tuna has always been my favorite but I had barracuda tonight that was really wonderful!! Compliments to the chef!
