While on a diving trip to Bonaire (epic), I had a chance to visit Norca's Deli Cafe to try some of her delicious iguana stew. Norca sat down with me and we chatted about her restaurant, other restaurants on the island, food in general, and her passion for cooking food that is a part of her Indonesian background... This friendly... More

We were on bonaire the first week of August. We had researched the restaurants of Bonaire and were looking forward to a Indonesian Rijsttafel. A Rijsttafel consists of countless little dishes. We went to the restaurant to make a reservation. Norca's is not very large and an elaborate meal like this takes planning so you need to give her advanced... More

We stumbled upon Norca's while looking for a spot to eat dinner. Very good and friendly. The owner offered to make my 8 year old (picky) son anything he wanted, a burger, chicken nuggets ,etc. She offered him the dutch frikandel sausage and he loved it! Even had seconds. I had an Indonesian noodle dish- Bami Goreng with shrimp. My... More

This is a small but cosy upstairs and kind of "secret garden" restaurant where you can enjoy quiteness and breeze as you wait for a delicious freshly made meal, that s why it takes a bit longer than other restaurants to be served... at least you are sure that is fresh and made for you! the wait is worth it......

I did not think a tuna sandwich could be so tasty. Food and ambiance combined with wonderful employees make this a good spot for midday meal.

Food was great. Did the 'Rice Table' for dinner after a hearty lunch there that left us wanting more. Its not cheap here but the portions r large and flavors are amazing. Atmosphere is pretty, owner is genuine and sweet. Went 3 times during our 1 week stay on the island. We had Banh Mi,fried rice,choc cake (homemade and heavenly)... More

I am surprised that this was as bad as it was & rated as highly as it is. It was bad & the service was terrible, like you were annoying the woman by even being there & ordering food. My husband liked the fried pockets (either meat or cheese) but I think he was just starving, tasted like they were... More

We stopped by Norca's for our first meal on Bonaire, and we had high hopes given the excellent reviews found on Trip Advisor. It was lunch time and most of the places that were on our TA list were closed for lunch, but we saw the sign for Norca's and decided to give it a try. We were served by... More
