Bon Bini restaurant in Lage Zijde

Cozy restaurant, excellent menu.

Barely any Antillean dishes on the menu, which you would expect from the name of the restaurant. Simple dishes and small portions for the main price.

Delicious food and top service. Definitely recommended!

Al heel vaak geweest en altijd zo ontzettend lekker gegeten! De sfeer is alsof je op een caribisch bent en heel gezellig ingericht. Altijd een feestje op je bord. Sared dining is super, meerdere gerechtjes want kiezen kan ik nooit. Absoluut elke cent waard!

Verborgen pareltje in Alphen aan den Rijn. Ons weer heerlijk laten verrassen met een menu van de chef. Wat kan die man toch heerlijk koken. Het was weer genieten.

Cosy, homely, good music, delicious food and very friendly service. We enjoyed it!

Gezellig, huiselijk, goede muziek, heerlijk eten en een zeer vriendelijke bediening. De kaart heeft genoeg keuze. Het uitzicht op het water is prachtig. Kortom we hebben genoten! Tot de volgende keer.

Wir haben in angenehmem Ambiente einen netten Abend mit sehr gutem Essen verbracht. Wir haben bewusst auf Vorspeise und Dessert verzichtet, es hätte jedoch ein tolles Angebot gehabt. Die Hauptspeise (Dutch Burger und Ziegenkäse-Quiche) war sehr sehr lecker! Uns hat's an nichts gefehlt, wir waren zufrieden 👌🏻

A bad experience! Our very important family dinner was spoiled by unprofessional attitude of the waitress, lack of the menu explaination (as a result we didn't enjoy the 1st course). The word "service" is unknown for this restaurant. On top of this a wine that was brought in a glass was spoiled/not good. Also no pleasure from dessert. There are also some pluses: the main course with grilled meat was good and a bottle of wine we ordered was also good. But our pleasure of the evening was gone and we will never ever come to this restaurant again. Wat a waste of time and money!

social deal used for 3 course dinner. starter was tasty, unfortunately both main course and dessert were not tasty. I love stew, but this was more like beef stew with raisins, with sweetness predominating. It looked unappetizing and it was. dessert was cheese cake with a chiro but without the vanilla ice cream that was on the menu; Both the cheesecake and the churro were cloyingly sweet and it was possible that vanilla ice cream (although also sweet) had reduced the sticky sweetness, but it was not really edible. All in all, if you don't count the food, it was very enjoyable. Operation good. possibly better without a social deal

Last night I had a festive dinner with my family at the Bon Bini restaurant. Delicious food and enough choice for everyone in terms of food (They take allergies or vegetarian wishes into account). Friendly staff and the restaurant is nicely decorated! All in all a big 10 👍🏻. I will definitely come back here 👈

I loved an exotic and tropical restaurant, it seems like I was in another country!

Delicious food prepared with some extra attention, highly recommended

Very nice restaurant. Friendly people and better than expected food!

Delicious dinner again tonight! Super atmosphere and delicious food. Very hospitable and the flavors are spot on! We have been here a number of times and we will certainly repeat it often!

Deze plek is geweldig voor het sponsorevent van Luca Racing #33. De ambiance is top en straalt alleen maar warmte en gezelligheid uit. In overleg met de eigenaren werden tafels en stoelen ingeruild voor statafels en een plek om de motoren en de accessoires te plaatsten. De microfoon werd aangesloten en de presentatie voor het race seizoen 2025 kon beginnen. Wij en de sponsoren hebben genoten van een heerlijke middag met goede service! Team Bon Bini bedankt voor de gastvrijheid, jullie bijdrage aan de middag en heel graag tot een volgende keer!

Delicious food, good portions and great service. Highly recommended to eat once

Nice people, nice food! Sitting comfortably. They are still working hard to make it even more enjoyable and the owner talks about this with passion. We would definitely recommend this place! Also had a nice cocktail.

Duurde lang. 1exdrankje na 20 minuten. Kaart na ruim half uur. 19u binnen hoofdgerecht werd 22.20 geserveerd. 3x boneless spareribs 3x verschillende porties qua grootte. Weinig friet. Te veel saus. Eten was lauw. Niet teruggestuurd want dan nog langer wachten. We wilden eten en weg. Andere tafels waren ook ontevreden, stuurden eten terug, 1 tafel hadden klachten, vroegen maar besloten af te rekenen en vervroegd weg te gaan. Er werd wel excuus aangeboden en met ons gepraat. Maat men kon duidelijk situatie niet aan en eigenaresse (?) Gaf aan niet geanticipeerd te hebben op drukte ineens. Ze zij wel dat de drukte te voorzien was omdat alle tefels van te voren gereserveerd waren. Het was ook koud in de zaak. Verschillende mensen, zaten met jas aan. Jammer, zaak heeft potentie. Er moet meer controle zijn op eenheid portiegrootte, wachten op eten, drankjes, menu, opnemen is echt veel te lang. Voorraadbeheer; als je 3e arriverende tafel bent en er wordt al gezegd dat 2 gerechten al uitverkocht zijn. Wij snappen personeelstekort, als,dat het is, maar dan kun je niet zoveel reserveringen aannemen. Dat kost ook klanten. Kiezen uit 2 slechte opties....

What I ordered was great, especially the tuna. The chef came to explain what tiger milk was. I was curious about that as a hobby chef.

Very customer-friendly service. Food also tasted really good

Delicious food! There is a wide choice on the menu, the dishes are of good quality and the atmosphere is relaxed. In short: highly recommended.

Fantastic food in an Antillean atmosphere, rarely eaten so well

Delicious food, nicely decorated restaurant, friendly service

What a fantastic dining opportunity with beautiful dishes, beautifully presented and great service

Delicious food far beyond expectations with a high repeat risk!! The chef's menu and the banana soup are recommended.

This is the first time we have eaten here. The service is very good and the staff are friendly and very attentive. The food was very tasty. We will definitely come back here.

We hebben er heerlijk gegeten , ze serveren flinke porties . De prijzen vallen reuze mee en je krijgt alle tijd , leuke bediening . Een aanrader .

Super delicious food. Good portion sizes. Reasonable prices.

Had a wonderful evening, nice ambiance, hospitable employees and not unimportant; delicious meal.

Delicious food, good service, friendly and good explanation of the beautiful varied menu. We will definitely come back. Recommended.

We ordered two burritos, the Classico and the crunchy cheese. Both were super tasty. To be repeated. It's a pity that delivery costs are not free for, for example, an order from 20.00 or 25.00 euros.

It was great!... Went for a drink and had some snacks... Nice tropical music in the background... I enjoyed my hubby Alphen aan de Rijn... Greetings from Rotterdam!

Heerlijke plek om te ontspannen en lekker te eten. We genieten hier elke keer weer als we hier komen. Lekkere cocktails, culinaire maar ook wat bekendere gerechten, hoog van kwaliteit met een schitterende opmaak.

I gave it a try after all the positive reviews. We had a social deal 4 course chef's menu. The restaurant itself looks nice and the service was correct, but for us that was it. Maybe it was because we had the social deal, but the food was very specific and the flavors were certainly not balanced. The main course was yellow rice with some kind of meat stew with dried banaa.. incredibly sweet and left more than three quarters. To be honest, I have never eaten something so sweet as a main course. Unfortunately, we were not asked how it tasted that evening... the waitress could have seen from the plates that we were not really in the mood for it. Too bad since expectations were very high, maybe others did not have a social deal or the chef had a bad day... but we will skip this restaurant in the future...

simply a top restaurant. nice ambiance, friendly informal atmosphere, attention to the customer and most importantly...delicious food! we had a 4 course surprise menu and everything was really tasty and surprising. We will definitely come back here

We had a lot of food from Bon Bini and it tasted OK, but the chicken for the tacos tasted a bit strange, not Mexican. The next day they both go to the shit room. There's no other way than through the chicken. Very unfortunate

Super tasty and fresh food, great service and a good atmosphere. We will definitely come back!

We hebben een geweldig leuke avond gehad! Het eten was echt bovenverwachting vers, lekker en van zeer goede kwaliteit! Fijne sfeer en goede bediening. Voor de kleintjes een kindermenu en speelgoed en een ijsje bij het weggaan! Wij komen zeker terug!

Excellent meal, nice varied menu

The food was very tasty, especially the main course. The waiting time was way too long. There is no adjusted menu and price for children. The price is quite high and portions are not big.

Relaxed restaurant with background music that gives you the feeling of being in the Curacao area. Getting into a zen atmosphere through hectic work and life is wonderful. An employee who, in our view, was new made some small mistakes, for which she later apologized politely, but which were neatly resolved by the owner. High-quality food that also looked delicious to the eye. Worth repeating.

It's a nice restaurant. Relaxed atmosphere and very tasty food! Staff is great!

Delicious food, great service and the atmosphere was also great. A lovely summer background music that wasn't too loud, a nice thing. Recommended

Zonder reserveren met 9 personen bij Bon Bini gegeten. Mijn complimenten aan de kok omdat we bijna allemaal een ander recept namen en het gelijktijdig geserveerd werd. Het was heerlijk. Ik kom er zeker terug.

You expect an Antillean menu/Caribbean dishes, but there isn't that. The stand tent atmosphere is good

We had a great evening! A good restaurant with an informal Curaçao atmosphere with good food and good service. The owner came to the table for a chat and made us feel welcome. The birthday was a success because of the fun fireworks in the dessert with music and a drink. We will definitely come back. Thank you Masha! P.s shared dessert is highly recommended!

And it's time for a meal fit for a king at Restaurant Bon Bini, because I've been running ahead of myself the past few days. And that's just not right. But I looked forward to this day. I know that I have already had a delicious meal here in this restaurant in Alphen aan de Rijn a few times and that will certainly be the case this time. I order a chardonnay and enjoy the wonderful music in the background and feel like I'm on holiday. The design of this restaurant makes you forget that you are in the Netherlands. It is wonderful to dream away here in a very relaxed way. I have experienced this before on my beloved island of Samos, where after a wonderful day at the beach I ended up in a wonderful and cozy restaurant and did not leave until well after midnight. Today I choose the 4-course menu from the chef in the kitchen, because I like to be surprised. First of all, the grilled pork belly with a crunchy 'bed', which had a surprising taste. I also choose to have the wine served with it that is appropriate. My dish will be accompanied by a delicious rosé. The 2nd course is a pumpkin soup which has a beautiful structure with whole pumpkin seeds in it! Tasty!!! A surprising 3rd course is the spare ribs, which I don't have to worry about. Look, that's nice. The sauce is wonderfully syrupy with a 'touch of coconut'. Then the choice of wine fell on red, called: Pasqua Primitivo (also something close to coconut). I'm curious about the highlight of the 4-course menu...the dessert😋. Cheesecake! Plus a delicious liqueur. It's great that the intervals between the dishes were just right. By the way, it is also good to leave home not too hungry; a late breakfast is sufficient to enjoy a delicious dinner in the evening. After having dinner for more than 3 hours, I am ready for coffee. End of the day. A day with a golden edge!(3-3-2024) I really ate my fill at Bon Bini Restaurant.😋😋😋. What a taste sensation I was able to experience🤩. Highly recommended for those who want something different than just standard chicken satay with peanut sauce... in an "ordinary" restaurant. This is a few levels higher and more challenging for the taste buds and cannot be compared. A challenge for those who like it spicy. An ambiance to embrace (I actually didn't want to leave for a long time...). I would be willing to drive some miles for this😊❤️. What a surprise I had on my plate here...and it leaves me wanting more! If you dare, make an appointment and experience it for yourself. Let us know what you think of this. And the nice thing is: completely in a tropical atmosphere! This is how your holiday starts in full atmosphere 🏖👌🌞 (July 2023)

Delicious food, definitely a place to come back

Very nice atmosphere, service was a bit slow. But that was made up for by the food

Delicious, hospitable, cozy and attractive restaurant. Highly recommended!

Delicious food on Boxing Day. We chose the surprise menu and we were so surprised. The flavors and how beautiful the dishes look. Thank you for your hospitality. See you soon!

Delicious food. Hospitable and cozy!

Delicious dinner with the group of friends! Highly recommended. We will be back soon!

Nice restaurant, with great food. Nice family atmosphere in the restaurant with a view over the Rhine. We had a 4 course chef's menu and it was great. Food with a high level of taste, pleasant service and not too much food. Just everything just right.

4 course menu was really a treat. Personally, I think the food is of a higher standard than the restaurant looks from the inside (it's debatable about taste and no, it didn't look bad inside, but the food was just that good). Delicious, I will definitely come back here.

Delicious food. An asset to Alphen aan de Rijn

Enjoyed a wonderful evening out. The food and service were great. To be repeated! If you are wheelchair-bound and can walk a few steps, the toilet is accessible. Your assistance dog can also come along. Please let us know when you make your reservation and you will receive a quiet spot and of course water for your four-legged friend.

Lovely restaurant in Carribean style with good food for a decent price.

Great! Good food and cozy atmosphere.

A nice place with friendly people but the food wasn't that good. The tastes were not very balanced.

Everything was delicious, it was higher than my expectations. Especially, karni stoba.

It is a very nice and cosy atmosphere inside. Everything was so delicious. Shared plates are highly recommended.

Very nice restaurant just outside the center. Definitely worth going there. The shared dishes are recommended. Varying in composition, because the season is also taken into account. But the pork tenderloin and chicken satay are also very good. Do you want something special? Pass it on and it can be made. Dietary requirements are also taken into account. In addition to regular tables to sit at, there are also seating areas where you can have a drink. In short, if you want good food in a cozy atmosphere, go to Bon Bini. I am a fan!

Delicious food here. And what friendly people. You rarely come across that nowadays. We will definitely come back here.

Delicious food And nice beer Father Linus

Nice and cozy restaurant. There is a good atmosphere, just like you are in Curaçao. The food was delicious and the service was great! Thank you! Highly recommended

Super fun, super tasty food. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to take the chef home with me, but I can come back. I will definitely do that

Yesterday we ate the shared dinner with my husband. Food was delicious and we enjoyed it. They also took very good account of the fact that I was pregnant. Definitely worth going for a meal!

Delicious food and very good service

Great meal with social deal. Main course was delicious. I'm not really into desserts myself. Cocktail was also fine.

Friendly atmosphere in this nice Caribbean-style restaurant. The food is delicious and the service very pleasant. Recommended!

Great service, great ambience, delicious food... everything was right, I can only recommend it

A very nice place - directly at the Old Rhine.- ... very nice service- nice disch....on hour- before the restaurant opens....- We'll come back.... Greets

Very nice food. Cozy atmosphere, homely. Good food for children too. Our son enjoyed looking at the boats.

Super hospitable, delicious cocktails and the food is sublime! We will go back to Bon Bini soon. Nice atmosphere...

Tasty cocktails, relaxed atmosphere, beautiful location, and above all great food! Best in Alphen.

Huge cozy restaurant. Top chef and top service. Delicious food.

In 5 years of Alphen ad Rijn we have not had such a good meal as we did tonight at BonBini.... So good, so subtle and no-nonsense at the same time, everything is perfect! We will go back soon because the drinks corner and menu also looked very good :-)

What a wonderful restaurant. You really taste and feel the summer. Food and cocktails are of top quality. We enjoyed!

Had a 4 course menu. It was very delicious. Banana soup special, a bit spicy. Drinks still affordable. The restaurant is very attractively decorated. Unfortunately no terrace. Friendly staff.

We had a very nice meal there. The banana soup was surprisingly delicious 🍌 We thought the interior was very cozy and had a summery feel.

H(honest restaurant, super food and friendly staff

Nice and cozy atmosphere, service is top notch. Food is fine.

I chose the surprise menu and it was great, highly recommended for anyone who wants something different. Tasty and very nice dishes, keep it up. And that too in Alphen aan den Rijn. Highly recommended, very nice atmosphere.

Delicious food, special flavors. Live music from Lara&Nikki Music, great!

Had a great meal yesterday and very enjoyable!

Delicious food, nice atmosphere, friendly people and good portions. Highly recommended.

Great tent, we will definitely go there again. You wouldn't expect such delicious Latin food along the Rhine!! What a treat! Delicious dishes, beer and wines. Open kitchen, nice music and very pleasant service. The relaxed seating areas are highly recommended. Big 10!

Delicious food, fresh ingredients and good portions!

Saturday January 21st had dinner at Bon Bini. To be honest, I had no expectations at all. But I was blown away. The dishes I ate, including a burrata with grilled peach and a Karni Stobá, were really of a high standard. The portions are certainly generous at a good price. The atmosphere is pleasant and the hospitality is high. There is music in the background as it should be! So in the background. A tip to the owners is that in my opinion the music could have a more Caribbean character that better suits the name and the colorful sunny interior. Highly recommended: Yes

Had dinner at Bon Bini for the first time yesterday. What a gem in Alphen. Very nice service, fantastic food and a very nice atmosphere. Successful night!

Great restaurant… excellent quality, price is fine..

Fast delivery and super tasty food for every order. Definitely recommended! Nice delivery people.

Had dinner here last night, nice seating areas to first have a nice cocktail or something else. Then we had a delicious meal, nice service and even met the owners when serving the main course. I would say: go!!

Delicious food and very good service!

Delicious meal with the family. Kids also had a nice meal and had fun there.

Had a great meal during the gourmet week. Only the music is quite present.

Delicious food! 🥰 nice staff. Recommended.
