Craving variety without leaving the beach? Tasting Bonaire at Delfins Beach Resort means sampling five distinct venues—each with its own flavor, mood, and view—ranging from sophisticated six-course-style evenings to easygoing beachside barbecues. In this guide, you’ll discover what to order first, when to go, and how to fit it all into a delicious stay.

Whether you’re planning a special night at Brass Boer, a relaxed lunch with your feet in the sand at Club Tropicana – Beach Brasserie, or a quick coffee-and-bakery stop at Fresku, this Tasting Bonaire tour shows how to savor every moment.

The five tastes of Delfins

Café Koló

A colorful, all-day hub on the lively Delfins Boulevard, Café Koló serves a refreshed breakfast buffet, delicious lunch dishes, tasty snacks, and refreshing cocktails. Dine outside under the beautiful palapa, grab ice cream, or simply relax while the team brings your favorites straight to your lounger with daily pool service.

Pro tip: Pair a late-afternoon dip with palapa-shaded bites and cocktails for peak island vibes.

Brass Boer

For fine dining at sea, Brass Boer delivers a modern selection of European dishes with a Caribbean twist—plus exclusive private dining at Table 14 or the romantic Sunset Lounge, all overlooking the Caribbean Sea.

Pro tip: Secure your table early—sunset seatings pair beautifully with the restaurant’s sea views.

BBQ at the Beach

If your version of Tasting Bonaire involves smoky flavors and toes-in-sand relaxation, BBQ at the Beach is your spot. Enjoy flavorful dishes fresh off the Big Green Egg, inventive cocktails, chillout lounge music, and expansive sea views.

Pro tip: Book a beachfront cabana for a long, lazy lunch that effortlessly becomes golden-hour cocktails.
