We returned from Bonaire exactly 1 week ago today and I wish I hadn't. Back to the daily grind of 12 - 16 hour days, ech.

Thanks for the reviews, Mark...sounds like some winners to be checked out when Joe and I return in a few weeks. We live in the NY/NJ metro area so some of the "high end" prices on Bonaire are about the same as what we pay up here. There are sooooo many excellent places to dine on Bonaire...it is so difficult to decide...oh, the stress of choosing a place to eat...oh my, oh my! LOL. Carole

What type of food does Casablanca serve? Of all the times we have been to Bonaire, we have never eaten there.

Casablanca specializes in Argentinian beef. The mixed grill is very popular and can feed two easily. They use wonderful sauces and portions are very generous. When they fire up the grill in the late afternoon for the dinner crowd it makes you want to rush right over! Excellent wine list as well.

Thanks for the info - I've been keeping a database with restaurants and their "reviews". I'll add your comments to it.

Where exactly is Casablanca? And does anyone know if they serve a Churrusco steak?

I've always heard good things about It Rains Fishes, so my wife and I were looking forward to going there while in Bonaire in March/April. Perhaps we got them on a bad day, as we were thoroughly disappointed. We waited a full hour, after ordering, to get our meals. We were with several other couples. About 45 minutes into the delay, our waitress came to us and asked who had ordered rack of lamb (my wife). We were told that the reason we were all waiting for our food was that the rack of lamb was taking so long--as though it were somehow our fault. When we were finally served, the food was merely OK. Also, for a group of eight people, the side dishes--served family style--were roughly the quantity you would expect for two people. Several tables that were occupied long after our party arrived received their orders before us. The place was jammed and the help seemed way undermanned. As I said, maybe we got them on a bad day, but I've had far better food and service at numerous other restaurants on the Island.

I may be biased, because I have a timeshare there, but the Chibi Chibi at Divi Flamingo Beach has upgraded significantly during the last several years and I find their food, service, and location (right on the water) to be excellent.

don't forget to take a look at www.bonairediningguide.com for most of the eateries. A new edition is in the works and should be ready for next season
