If any of you locals understand, sometimes you want to dine out and not be seen..does that make sense? It's great living on this island but often we all need a little privacy. It's been too long since Maggie and I ventured to Le Flamboyant. The back garden is so private and the wind made it so refreshing. Naomi and her colleague were amazing serving our meals. The merlot is lovely. The goat cheese salad divine. Maggie had the chicken rolls and I had the land and sea. The shrimp was lovely. The best part of the night was my flan and the baked potato..oh I love baked potatoes...and miss them where we usually get fries or rice. The gift store is creative with all kinds of cool little knic knacks. What a perfect setting for a wedding or private party. It was a nice mellow night.

Ann, do you know how lucky you are?
Le Flamboyant is one of my "go to many times" when on Bon. Don't tell anyone about it ok?

Jerry and Ann, it's one of my favorites to shhhhh....lol! Just remember to bring bug spray or towelettes and wipe the legs and ankles down. Ann, I agree, the atmosphere in the outdoor garden is wonderful. I don't remember the name of the owner/manager but he always comes by the table to ask how everything is. We have always had excellent friendly service as well Oh, and they have fantastic garlic butter and bread! Last time I had the filet with blue cheese...YUM!

I am beginning to wonder how Annie looks so trim and fit with all these restaraunts she visits. It must be the 12 hours a day windsurfing!!!

BE QUIET..I gained 7 pounds since moving here...

Ann, you would never know it...you look mavelous dalink!

When I go to Bonaire I always hope I'll drop a couple pounds with all the tank lugging, diving, sweating, but last time I came back a couple pounds heavier...must have been the eating...lol!

Michael, you are dangling on the edge here.

Ann, let's keep it to ourselves ok?

Queen Grasshopper, I see you like steak, ever try dry aged tenderloin? If not seek it out. They will serve it with out a knife. You don't need it.

Jerry, dry aged tenderloin...got it....that's what I'll have next time and will report back. Do you have a wine suggestion to go with this?

Speaking of wine. Bonaire Gift Shop Wine & Liquor now has a website and you can pre-order wine before you arrive, like the Antillean Wine Company. We met Deepak, the owner of Bonaire Gift at a wine tasting, and he does know his wine

Queen Grasshopper, never seen it on Bon, and if you did find it, it would cost apx $29.95 per lbs in stores, $49.95 and up, in restraints.
As to the wine, depends on the wine list.
