21. Blue Water Grill
$$$ | |The jazzy marquee letters reading “I Love Belize” capture the enthusiasm of this long-standing favorite. The beachfront restaurant serves up colorful dishes like Thai-inspired black bean-encrusted fish, plus less flashy options like a club sandwich, so there's something for everyone. Nothing about Blue Water is cheap, but it works to please, with its wood-fired pizzas, top-notch service, and breezy beachfront setting.
At SunBreeze Hotel, San Pedro Town, Belize District, Belize226--3347Known For
- Coconut shrimp skewers
- Sushi on Friday
- Playful atmosphere
-
22. Caliente
$$$ | |It's nothing glamorous, but the food at Caliente—Mexican with a Caribbean and Belizean spin—hits all the right notes. The ginger-rum shrimp is brightly flavored, the waterfront patio is airy, and the attitude is unpretentious. Check out the indoor mural celebrating the reef's diversity. This San Pedrano--run restaurant frequently has live music.
Barrier Reef Dr., San Pedro Town, Belize District, Belize226--2170Known For
- Tequila-marinated meat
- Half-price margaritas on Friday
- Welcoming, tropical scene

23. Caramba!
$$$ | |The outdoor ice coolers of fresh lobster, mussels, and fish might lure you into Caramba; once inside, you'll quickly sense the frenetic energy of this noisy and often packed joint. No sea views, and there's nothing fancy on the broad menu here—just basics like grilled snapper, fried shrimp, pork chops, and Mexican fajitas, all in American portions—but everything is well prepared, prices are moderate, and the service is snappy and enthusiastic. Belizean owner Rene Reyes worked his way up from fruit-seller to successful restaurateur.
20 Pescador Dr., San Pedro Town, Belize District, Belize226--4321Known For
- Incredibly fresh seafood
- Habanero margaritas
- A fun dinner

24. Estel's Dine by the Sea
$$ | |Build your ideal breakfast from a mix-and-match chalkboard menu at San Pedro's most classic breakfast spot, famous for its fry jacks served with honey and mango jam. A favorite among locals and visitors, Estel's gets well-earned hype for its cheap-ish eats and morning cocktail specials. Estel's even has grits! The porthole windows, decorative buoys, and sandy floors give the joint a nautical atmosphere––not the mention the sea in its front yard. Best seats are on the porch or on wooden benches with mini-thatch roofs, where you can watch pelicans and passersby. Later in the day you'll find tacos, down-home cooking, and great seafood dishes here.
Buccaneer St., San Pedro Town, Belize District, Belize226--2019Known For
- Maya eggs
- Beloved by Belizeans and tourists alike
- Casual sandy-floor vibes

Rate Includes: Closed Sun. -
25. Frenchy's
$$$$ | |Escargot and foie gras in Belize? Why, yes––the famous "Pat the Frenchman" has created a culinary experience so impressive you'll write home about San Pedro's sizzling food scene. Chef-owner Patrick Parmentier does marvels with butter, olive oil, spices, and all other good things in his succulent dishes. In the backyard, Le Jardin––a beautiful garden furnished with handmade tables under wooden pergolas––is ideal for a predinner cocktail. With so much imported, including the culinary style, this isn't your spot for local flavor; but it's fun for a change of pace. The food is out of this world, and so are the prices. Frenchy's is small; reservations are encouraged.

- Gambas al ajillo
- The soufflé du jour
- Signature chandeliers

26. Lone Star Grill & Cantina
$$ | |If you’re in need of a fried steak sandwich or a big screen to watch baseball, here you’ll find both. Lone Star Grill & Cantina, run by a couple from the Lone Star State, is an outpost of Texas cooking on the south end of the island. Enjoy cold beer, margaritas, and some piled-high fajitas.
Coconut Dr., San Pedro Town, Belize District, Belize226-4666Known For
- Cold beer
- Margaritas
- Sports on screen
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Tues., and Sept. and Oct. -
27. Manelly's Ice Cream
$ | |There's nothing glossy about Manelly's, aside from your ice cream melting in the cone, and that's what makes this spot charming. Have a cheap coconut ice cream or sugarcorn paleta (popsicle). The supersweet ice cream isn't quite delicate, but it's handmade on-site with some local ingredients.
Barrier Reef Dr., San Pedro Town, Belize District, Belize601--8893Known For
- Tropical paletas
- Divey parlor vibes
- Old-school video games
-
28. Marbucks Coffee House
$ | |You'll recognize the circular logo from the monolithic coffee chain it references, but vibrant-tiled Marbucks is far better. Part of the intimate Daydreamin' B&B, Marbucks is a charming breakfast joint with pleasant outdoor stools and tables. We recommend the drip coffee and the frittata, served in a cast iron skillet. If you're hankering for a back-home bagel, the egg sandwich is delicious. Marbucks hosts the groovy and hugely popular Wine Down Thursdays gathering from 4:30 to 7:30, with live music and complimentary appetizers.
1½ miles (2.4 km) north of bridge, Ambergris Caye, Corozal, Belize226--4449Known For
- Guatemalan coffee
- A basic breakfast on your way to town
- Wine and live music on Thursday

29. Mesa Bistro
$$ | |The air-conditioned setting feels more United States than Caribbean, but Mesa plates up delicious change-of-pace dishes like churro-spice pancakes or, for lunch, sweet potato tacos. Vegetarians will appreciate the savory bean cake Benedict, among other options. Local drip coffee does nicely in the morning.
Tarpon St., San Pedro Town, Belize District, Belize636--8464Known For
- Coconut French toast
- Vegetarian and vegan options
- Hip diner vibes
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: No dinner -
30. Moon Bar
$$$ | |Moon Bar has made a splash as an atmospheric beach bar and "flame-fired" pizza joint on a secluded stretch of beach. This is a spot to come and play for hours: recline on daybeds, drink your "grammable" craft cocktail in the pool, or borrow paddleboards and kayaks (free for customers). The tasty, customizable pizzas are made with excellent homemade dough. At night, cool-color purple and blue lighting gives Moon Bar a sultry lunar feel. Note that this hip hangout is 18-plus.
6 miles (9½ km) north of bridge, Ambergris Caye, Corozal, Belize610--8921Known For
- An appealing beach
- Fairly pricey, but high-quality, pizzas
- Dragon fruit martinis

31. Rain Restaurant & Rooftop Terrace
$$$$ | |Simple decor and few walls make space for this rooftop's real ambience: the Caribbean horizon and watercolor sunsets. Some of the prices are jaw-dropping, but so are the culinary creations: executive chef and San Pedrano Samuel Gonzalez has a way with local ingredients and all things seafood. From-the-land dishes shine, too: options such as the bleu cheese-crusted filet mignon use ingredients the island seldom sees. It's possible to pop into Rain for a cocktail and watch the sunset. Just below Rain is Aqua, another of Gonzalez's high-profile restaurants, known for exquisite sushi. Both are attached to the resort Grand Caribe.

- A winning panorama
- Quality service

32. Robin's Kitchen
$$ | |Line up beside the smoking grill for a delicious, no-nonsense plate of jerk chicken with sides. Homemade sauce is dished from a big plastic mixing bowl and Fanta and juices are in the back (but don't expect mixed drinks). Eat under the thatch and chat with the lovely Jamaican-Belizean owners, or get your meal to go. Bring napkins--and cash, as no credit cards are accepted.
Coconut Dr., San Pedro Town, Belize District, Belize651--3583Known For
- Jerk chicken and (sometimes) fish
- Hits-the-spot Caribbean flavors
- Friendly folks

33. Someplace South CafeBar
$$$ | |Someplace South is a new hot spot––or, to use an old Belizean phrase for a roadside joint, a "cool spot"––beloved for its friendly faces, delicious grub, and nooks of stylish seating. The lush courtyard is a lovely place to have brunch (their specialty, served all day) or to sip a rum drink while you wait for your Caribbean dinner. Someplace South is so refreshing you might not even miss sea views; plus, when sargassum seaweed stinks up the beach, this is a nice refuge. Live music gets going several nights a week.
2338 Sea Grape Dr., Ambergris Caye, Corozal, Belize628--5373Known For
- Bananas foster French toast
- All-day 2 for 1 mimosas
- A spacious garden setting

34. The Baker
$ | |Warm cinnamon rolls are a favorite at this Irish-owned bakery. You'll also find a cheering bounty of croissants, cookies, and coconut tarts, plus made-to-order egg sandwiches and, at lunch, tuna or ham sandwiches. You can even drink dainty cups of tea with your pastries.
Coconut Dr. (aka Seagrape Dr.), San Pedro Town, Belize District, Belize629--8030Known For

- Rum cake
- Irresistible smells

35. The Farmhouse Market & Cafe
$$ | |More than a just pit stop, this cute roadside joint offers pick-me-ups in the way of creative smoothies, iced mochas, healthy and not-so-healthy shakes, and baguette paninis. It also stocks a small market with Belizean cheeses, jellies, cacao beans, meats, and fruits. Swing by on your way to Secret Beach or anywhere north.
1/4 mile (2/5 km) north of bridge, Ambergris Caye, Corozal, Belize620--7516Known For
- Wholesome homegrown vibes
- Green smoothies
- Delicious coffee

36. Waruguma
$$ | |This open-air favorite is your spot for handmade pupusas (pockets of masa filled with meat or veggies and cooked on a griddle). The huge pupusas will only run you about BZ$3–BZ$6 each, and range from spinach to pork to the idiosyncratic "crazy" flavor. An array of (more expensive) seafood and meat dishes is also on offer. For tropical decadence try the coconut cream burritos filled with seafood or chicken while you enjoy the town's bustle just feet away. Waruguma is a great, low-key family dinner spot.
Angel Coral St., San Pedro Town, Belize District, Belize633--0931Known For
- Vegetarian and meaty pupusas
- Lobster burritos
- People-watching in the heart of San Pedro

37. Wild Mango's
$$$ | |Noted local chef Amy Knox has made Wild Mango's one of the most interesting dining choices in town. She calls her cooking New Wave Latin—Caribbean food infused with spicy flavors from Cuba, Argentina, and Mexico. The updated menu spotlights Belizean crops and foodways: you'll find small plates like a citrus cocoa nib salad and plantain tostones with shrimp sofrito. Snazzy large plates include cashew grouper with rich green chile beurre blanc. (Knox does not use conch or lobster, as she believes them to be unsustainable.) Wild Mango's features a handful of impressive vegetarian options. Seating is beach-casual, with high tables on a covered, open-air veranda.
42 Barrier Reef Dr., San Pedro Town, Belize District, Belize226--2859Known For
- Creative, genre-busting dishes
- Open-air dining
