Bonaire has many top restaurants in beautiful locations: you can sit right by the sea, in the center of Kralendijk or overlooking the village of Rincon. Bonaire is increasingly putting itself on the map as a culinary destination, having recently even been named Culinary Capital by The World Food Travel Association (WFTA). The island offers a wide variety of restaurants: From seafood restaurants to food trucks, local joints, cocktail bars, beach clubs and upscale restaurants. Caribbean cuisine is characterized by a wide variety of flavors and aromas. Local dishes include Pastechis (dough with stuffing), Kabritu Stobá (goat stew), Sopi Piska (fish soup), Sopi Kadushi (cactus soup) and Kokada (coconut soup). Or the Lionfish, an “invasive specie” that threatens the fish population and coral and has no natural predators. This fish may be caught by divers and then you can eat it as fish burgers, sushi, ceviche, Lionfish & Chips, with tacos, nachos and much more! Highly recommended to try.
