Belize City Restaurant Reviews

Though most restaurants here cater to locals, their number and quality rival those of tourist magnet San Pedro in Ambergris Caye. The city has inexpensive dives serving "dollar chicken" (fried chicken, a local favorite, though it no longer costs just a dollar), Chinese joints of 1950s vintage specializing in chow mein, and lunch spots for downtown office workers seeking Creole dishes such as cow-foot soup and rice and beans. Belize City also has upmarket restaurants serving the city's affluent elite. Only a couple of these are "dressy" (by Belize standards, this means a nice collared shirt for men and perhaps a long tropical dress for women) and reservations are rarely necessary.

A few restaurants around the Tourism Village target cruise ship passengers, typically for lunch and drinks, but the one thing you won't find here are chain restaurants. In fact, there's only one fast-food chain restaurant anywhere in Belize, a Subway deli on Freetown Road.
