My partner and i have been going to this restaurant 1 or 2 times a month or every so often for almost 2 year now. We always get the same table far from everyone else. We loved this place and the Brazilian lady who would always attend us super friendly and welcoming. however today we have left very disappointed.. first of all the server who attended us today was not so friendly but gave good service nonetheless. The food was good as always but after finish paying our bill, my partner and i sat for about 3-5 minutes trying to finish the rest of our drinks before leaving. When all of the sudden one of the owners i assume ( a short bearded man) came and told us in a stern unfriendly tone that we had to leave because he needed the table. We didn’t make a fuss and we just got up and left ( i did not even finish my drink that i paid for already). What makes this more frustrating is that 30 minutes after this we drove past the restaurant and guess what? The table he supposedly needed for other customers was EMPTY! Which makes me wonder why he us to leave. I have dine in at many other restaurants here on Bonaire & all over the world and in fact even worked as a server for many years but i have never in my life experience being kicked out of a restaurant while trying to finish up my drinks AFTER paying my bill. Its such a shame what we experienced today at what was once me and my partner’s favorite restaurant. Sadly i wont be returning to them anymore after such treatment today. I suggest they work on their hospitality and how they treat regular paying guests. Such a...
Read moreIf 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...
Read moreI 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...
