Who has closed

[rmolk]

Have now cancelled our fifth attempt to come back to Bonaire this season. So I’m wondering which businesses and in particular which restaurants have closed for business. Many have shut permanently here in Ct and I am afraid for my favorites in Bonaire. Thanks.

Italy in the World has closed permanently. Zazu (at Harbour Village Marina, they did burger nights on Wednesday) closed permanently some time ago. I'll update this if I see more. Most restaurants are hanging in there with either reduced hours of operation or smaller menus.

Hi Kate,

We are sorry to see any Bonaire closures, but Italy in the World does sting. It was one of our goto places.

Thanks

Cristina at Italy in the World says she plans to reopen, but in a new location, once Bonaire is fully open again.

Did they close Bistro de Paris too or just the bar? Burger nights were always nice there.

Bistro de Paris closed in February.

Do we know if Bistro de Paris is closed permanently or will reopen after things get better. Always enjoyed their food, loved the escargot!

Bistro de Paris and Zazu closed permanently prior to Covid. I heard third hand that Harbour Village did not extend the lease as it intended to use the space as part of its in house catering. While they were clearing out their equipment, I asked the proprietor/chef if he intended to re-open elsewhere. He said they were pursuing other goals so not anytime soon, if at all.
