The 10 best cheap eats in Kralendijk

We stumbled on this restaurant Christmas Eve. It was the only one we found with space for I’d and were are so grateful we found it. The food was amazing, servers were fun and great music. Highly recommend!

This was by far the best dining experience we had on the island, with food and service quality comparable to New York City. We were celebrating our anniversary, and the staff kindly congratulated us. The portions were meant for individual, so it is best to order couple of dishes if you prefer to share. We enjoyed the tuna tartare, steak, and the catch of the day, which was tuna. You truly can't go wrong with tuna in Bonaire. The margarita was one of the best I’ve ever had. Instead of dessert, we opted for the “delicious coffee”, which was absolutely dreamy. The setting in the garden was beautiful and romantic, making our meal even more special. Go there early to sample the fresh catch!

The food here is superb. We went here two different times during our stay. The scenery was amazing. Eating dinner on the dock and watching the sunset is quite the experience. The food was amazing. The Italian night had a great selection of dishes. The wahoo was fresh, the salad was fresh, and the pizza was made nice and thin. The other night, the fish trio was amazing, prepared and fresh, having snapper, corvina, and barracuda. The dessert was also quite flavorful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The only downside to this place is the mosquitos that bite you through your dinner experience, that unfortunately is part of the outdoor dining experience.

The food was great. The chicken appetizer to start was fresh and smokey. The tuna was amazingly fresh and tasted perfect, not too cooked, and was juicy and perfectly seasoned. The vegetables and sides were amazing as well. The drink was a refreshing lemonade that complimented the meal perfectly. Service was attentive and great. Also, there is a great atmosphere to eat and watch the sunset.

This is the third time I have visited this ocean side paradise. I thought I did a review, but possibly not. The staff is attentive and the choices of where to sit is a lot. You can sit at a table, bar seating or cabanas (rental). No matter where you sit, you will have views of the water. The drinks are amazing with a lot of cocktail choices as well as beer and wine. I had the popcorn chicken this time and my friends had the spicy chicken wings. The last meal we had there was amazing, along with an espresso martini. A great place for.a.snack and drink or a full meal. They were setting up for a fish market. We plan on coming back next Sunday to try this fun set up. A great island go to. I added my last visit pictures too.

We had been put on a waiting list in hopes of being able to come here for dinner, and on the morning of our last full day, we got a call asking if we had availability. We quickly said yes, and we’re excited at the opportunity for the chance for dinner here. We were immediately greeted by the chef and escorted through the door and to the back. They asked our names and offered us something bubbly to drink from the beginning. We were the first to arrive so we had seats that were already assigned to us, which was at one of the two back tables. We didn’t get the chef’s counter, but that was OK because it meant for a more intimate experience. The counter provides a more social atmosphere by contrast. Once everyone had arrived, they started promptly on time. There is limited seating, and they only serve dinner, but we were excited at all the potential options we had to look forward to. We both decide upon the wine pairing to complement dinner. Even before dinner started, they decided to come back around again and verify our dietary limitations. Since I have a corn allergy, they were more than willing to accommodate. There is no menu so it is a surprise as to what you are offered each of the five courses. There is also a drink surprise that we had, and we loved as it was a Japanese take on a mojito made with sake. We’ve been to Japan, so this was a beautiful surprise. Each course was fun and unique. We enjoyed the pork, and the beef, but our favorite was the fish course, which will happen to be the third course of the evening. Dessert was just as light and delicious. The wine paired very well with the options we had, and were complementary to the different flavors. They’re very kind to go back around if you want a little bit more for your glass, as they’re worried about the wine getting too warm during the meal. This is something I very much appreciated as they were congress and of that temperature differential for taste. Once we were done with all the courses , we went up to pay. It was a steep meal or compared to all of the other dinners we had out on the island, but we felt it was well worth the experience and time we had there. The chef truly take care of you during the time that you’re there, and it’s very fun to watch them prepare the meal in front of you. I do recommend trying to get reservations ahead of time; when we looked on the day of our meal, there was already a three month wait. Even if you do not get a reservation, do what we did and get put on the waitlist. My husband ended up calling early in the week to see if there was any cancellations that we could jump into, and we personally felt that helped our ability to get in, even being on the waitlist. I’m so glad this was recommended to us by a local friend. While I understand not everybody can afford to do this meal, if you can afford the splurge, I recommend you doing so. We hope to come back to Bonaire and enjoy another meal here. We think the chef’s for their time and expertise and we’re pleased with our meal.

We had an amazing and massive sandwich with fresh caught tuna salad and prosciutto. Probably should have only gotten one and shared something else. Postcard beach bar vibe.

Our meal was 22/03/2025around 1pm. If I could have given the service a 6 out of 5 I would have. We had hiked in the national park in the morning and then went to the Cadushy Distillery. It was very busy and we were very hungry after our morning hike so the distillery recommended this restaurant. The location of the restaurant was easy to find and lots of parking. The scenery at the restaurant was stunning. There was about 20 people seated on our arrival att various tables in twos and 4’s, there was 6 of us. Right away our server came over and explained meal options and the menu and answered our question. We had the fish sandwich, salt cod, three of us had goat, and 1 fish of the day meal and dessert. For 6 of us it came out fresh and hot and all agreed yummy. Everything was cooked to perfection. Our server remained attentive we had water pop and beer. Some of us then had the most decadent desert Pina Colada cake. Needless to say the people with dessert had no choice but to share. The service was exceptional as I said the food was good the restaurant was spotless as was the washrooms. It is an open air restaurant but there was a lovely breeze we were not too hot. The views around the restaurant were amazing.

When seeking out food in Bonaire, the choices are many. King Kong Bonaire is a great food truck that you can find hanging out at Bachlor Beach. The colorful yellow and picture of King Kong will draw your eye to really good food. King Kong Bonaire keeps it simple with hamburgers and hot dogs. I was in the mood for a hamburger, and this one didn't disappoint. The meat to bun ratio was perfect. I understood from my friend, that was with me, that the meat for the hamburger was fresh ground, you could taste that the meat was super fresh. The standard burger comes with condiments, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions. I decided to put cheese, bacon, and an egg onto mine. It was amazing and tasted super fresh. The fries were super fresh from the frier. I have become a fan of fries on Bonaire, dipping in mayo to complete the goodness. Everyone with me that ate a hamburger was super impressed on the taste*(the portions were more than we could finish and enjoyed a second round at a later time that day.

Nice location with halal food options. Food is delicious and so fresh. Convenient location and the gentleman is very nice and helpful. I always go for their platters to treat myself on Sunday :p
