Bonaire’s cuisine reflects a mix of Dutch, Caribbean, and Latin American influences:
- Fresh fish and seafood – often simply grilled
- Caribbean stews – with vegetables, spices, and meat or fish
- Dutch specialties – such as bitterballen and local cheeses
- Local snacks – including pastechi (filled pastries)
To drink, enjoy locally produced rum, international wines, and refreshing cocktails, often served at sunset by the sea.
