This is the funnest and yummiest restaurant in all of Bonaire. The food is amazing. The chicharron is to die for! The staff is so friendly, helpful and attentive. More often than not the owners will be coming by your table to check in and make sure everything is good and you’re happy. And if you can go when they have live music don’t miss it!

Fantastic meal!! Wow. The Brazilian cheese bread and Chicharon were out of this world yummy, we can’t stop thinking about them. Everything was outstanding. People are super friendly, service was great. They had live music the night we were there. Highly recommend. Though you will be dreaming of the food days after… be warned! 😂

My wife and I had the shrimp appetizer and Wahoo for the main course. By far some of the best fish I've ever had. The flavor was unique and excellent tasting. Even the rice was flavored very well. We had a party of 6 and our wait staff was 3-4 people taking excellent care of us. Everyone at the table was very happy with their meals. Highly recommended.

Amazing food, best ribyeye we've had for a long time, the cocktails were just wow, the spiced tangerine ciprihana had a kick in more ways than one, highly recommend this restaurant if visiting Bonaire

Excellent food, big portions (the 2 of us shared 5 starters and barely finished), good value for your money. The staff is quick and friendly. The caipirinhas are amazing. Had the passion fruit version and it was amazing, made with fresh fruit. Well worth a visit or two.

If you’re on Bonaire and craving a hearty, flavorful meal that won’t break the bank, Blue Garden Brazilian Grill is the place to go. This spot serves up mouthwatering dishes with generous portions that are sure to leave you satisfied.For starters, we shared the Chicharon, Red Slave (Brazilian Sausage), and Brazilian Cheese Bread, each bursting with flavor and more than enough for the table. The appetizers were a perfect way to kick off our meal, showcasing the bold, delicious tastes of Brazilian cuisine.When it came to the entrees, we couldn’t resist sampling a variety: the Vista Blue (Steak & Shrimp), the Te Amo (Steak & Lamb Chops), the Bonbini (Skewered Picanha), and the 1000 Steps (Picanha, Lamb Chops, and Ribeye). Every dish was seasoned beautifully and cooked easily on their table-side charcoal grills. By the way, you grill your own meat - similar to a Korean BBQ.Each entree comes with a hearty spread of sides, including savory rice, black beans, yucca fries, and a medley of fresh vegetables and sauces. The sides were the perfect complement to the rich, tender meats, rounding out a meal that was both filling and satisfying.Blue Garden Brazilian Grill delivers on all fronts—delicious food, generous portions, and reasonable prices. Whether you’re a steak lover or just looking for a memorable dining experience, this spot is a must-visit during your time in Bonaire. If you come hungry, you will leave happy!

We had the best chicharrón ever; it was incredibly crispy and delicious! The portion was generous, so we saved some to enjoy with our eggs the next morning. Since we were on an island, we decided to try the Barkadera Seafood Grill. While it didn't disappoint, I believe a meat option would have been better, especially since it's a Brazilian grill. The service was prompt!However, we didn’t enjoy the Caipirinha as much. Both flavors we tried—tangerine passion fruit and mixed berry—were excessively sweet.

I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Blue Garden Brazilian Grill, and it has been a highlight of my trip to Bonaire so far. The food was phenomenal! I started with the seafood platter appetizer, which was beautifully presented and bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors. For my main course, I had the "Thousand Steps" — a true celebration of meat that delivered on every level. Each bite was perfectly crafted and utterly delicious.The staff were incredible — young, friendly, and attentive without being intrusive. Their energy and professionalism made the experience even more enjoyable. The hosts/owners were especially welcoming, going out of their way to ensure everything was perfect. Their personal touch added so much warmth to the evening. What stood out even more were the obviously returning guests — their happiness and enthusiasm spoke volumes about the consistent quality of this place.The atmosphere at Blue Garden is a perfect blend of casual and chic, with decor that’s both stylish and fitting for Bonaire’s laid-back charm. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel at ease. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their vibrant menu. If you’re in Bonaire, Blue Garden is an absolute must-visit — you won’t be disappointed!

Great staff who were attentive and friendly. The seafood was great but they were out of lionfish the 2 times we were there. The passion fruit dessert was outstanding! Chicharons were also quite tasty.

Open air restaurant tucked away on a side street near the main downtown road in Kralendjik. The service was a bit slow, food was good, not great, drinks were pretty good. I wish there was more fresh caught seafood besides just wahoo.

Disappointed. Been to several Brazilian eateries. Picanha meat was tough not the usual soft melt in your mouth. Nothing special about the grilled shrimp and fish.needs more seasoning. Sides were very small,1 tablespoon of vinegrette? 1/3 cup of beans? Really? This stuff is cheap to make...The rice and yucca fries were ok. The pao de queijo appetizer had no cheese taste and took too long to make but at least you got a nice serving of 9. Would be great if they offered more appetizer choices. No longer serve pizza. Service was nice but overall not impressed.

We stopped in right as they opened for dinner and we were able to get a table without a reservation. Service was excellent. We ordered the picanha that we cooked ourselves on a grill at the table. The cuts were a little thin and the seasoning a little light for our taste. Overall, an enjoyable meal.

Had a reservation and was immediately seated. Generous portions, great quality Brazilian steak, and no pressure to quickly leave. Had to park 2 blocks away. I would recommend Blue Garden.

The food was okay, not bad but not special. The service was friendly and they got our orders correct. Depending on your order, they bring the grill to your table so you can finish cooking the meat. Some might enjoy this. The atmosphere was a bit below par with the seating located close enough to the road that barking dogs and cars noises were noticeable. The prices are in line with nearby waterfront restaurants, which this is not. Parking was convenient but dark and would not be adequate if busy. All in all, just an okay dining experience in a market with many fine restaurants with waterfront views.

We went here on our last night of our trip on a last minute reservation based on their website menu. This place was amazing! The best dinner we had the entire week in a restaurant! The staff was attentive and friendly, the food prep time was very well paced, prices were reasonable and the desserts were excellent! This will be our first stop on our next trip!

Very good food, very good service. Plus lionfish!Food was exceptional. Started with the cheese bread and it was delicious. Then we split the lionfish entree. Was great. The vegetables served with it were delicious too. Portions are generous, so consider that when ordering. The Mi Dushi was delicious as well. Service was very friendly and attentive.Would absolutely come again.

We shared the Oil Slick, fried seafood, and the Lake, seafood cooked in a tomato sauce with chunks of coconut! Both really delicious! I’m a passion fruit fanatic, so I had the passion fruit with vodka as my beverage, perfect! The service we received from Jessica and Rick was terrific! They brought us an appetizer of fried pizza dough and sauce, on the house. Definitely will come back to this place!

Some of the best Brazilian food I've had outside of Brazil (or homemade by family).Their moqueca was especially good and the drinks...all of the caipirinhas were delicious. They even have Guaraná Antarctica.

I'm not a meat-eater, but there are quite a few options on the pizza menu plus some vegetarian appetizers, so there was no shortage of options for dinner. The margherita pizza was excellent and highly recommend the cheese bread balls. Don't skip the house special cocktails either.

Nice open area, good service. Enjoyed grilling the picanha myself on the grill provided. Was brought here by a local friend so expected it to be good.

Food is a really great quality and portions are plentiful. We were there on a Thursday for lobster thermidor night which we all really enjoyed. Keep in mind the lobster can come with steak shrimp or any fresh fish they have and there's no additional charge.They really love to upsell but the portion is fairly large so I don't recommend going to crazy on appetizers or extras unless you're getting the bread cheese balls that are absolutely must have!Depending on who you are the service can be a bit slow when it comes to refilling drinks. May want to order two at the start of your meal if you're a quick drinker

First off I don't write a lot of reviews but Blue Garden was so outstanding I felt I had to. We were "walk ups" on a Friday Eve which turned out to be quite busy. The hostess worked us in and the owner even came by a few times to check on us. The mojito was authentic and we ordered a carribean lobster dish that was second to none. The grilled shrimp added to the dish was also incredible. Service was top notch throughout the dinner and we were going to leave when the male owner stopped by and suggested a Brazilian chocolate dessert topped with rum that we felt we couldn't pass up. All I can say is wow... If you are ever in Kralendjik don't miss this gem. We will be back. Outstanding.

We were fortunate to get a table in high season without a reservation. Lovely garden setting inside. A busy night but we were well taken care of. Excellent, tasty lamb and beef. Must try a Caipirinha- a variety of different flavours. Wrapped up the evening with a tasty grilled banana dessert. Good service and an enjoyable meal.

We almost gave up on the restaurants in Bonaire! After walking around from restaurant to restaurant we decided to try Blue Garden. What a pleasant surprise! First off the portions are comparable to what receive in the United States. Many of the places here left us still hungry. The food was delicious. Salad was fresh and tasty. The staff was welcoming and friendly. We decided to return to the all you can eat buffet. The pork was amazing. The only caveat is you need to know that service is not fast. They allow you to enjoy and digest your food in their relaxing atmosphere.

Maybe our expectations were too high... but after our dinner @Blue Garden we were a kind of disappointed. Not that the food was not good but more the whole experience was not nice. We had four different waiters and our pizzas didn’t arrive at the same time. Again the pizzas were really delicious but it didn’t feel like a evening out for dinner. René & Menekşe
