Last revised August 8, 1999
The following recommended restaurants in Belize is NOT a comprehensive list,
but these are some that BELIZE FIRST believes consistently offer good food and
value in the price category. Restaurants of special note, due to excellent
value, friendly owners, or superior food are highlighted in CAPITAL LETTERS.
Hotel restaurants primarily serving meals to hotel guests only -- such as
remote caye or jungle lodges -- are not included here.
The type of food primarily served by the restaurant is indicated in
parentheses. Belizean-American generally means some Belize dishes, mainly
Creole, such as rice and beans and stew chicken along with some U.S.-style
dishes such as hamburgers, fried chicken or steak. Most restaurants in Belize,
regardless of type, serve some Creole dishes and many serve seafood and a few
Mexican dishes.
Price range:
A (typically over US$20 for one person for dinner);
B (US$10-$20);
C (under US$10).
Rates do not include service, 8% government tax or alcoholic beverages. Please
tell us about good restaurants we may have overlooked.
