The Cayes and Atolls Restaurant Reviews

Ambergris Caye has the biggest selection of restaurants of any destination in Belize, and among them are some of the country's best. They range from simple beach barbecue joints to upscale, sophisticated eateries, where, especially if you eat lobster, you can easily spend BZ$100 a person, or more, including a drink or two. You have a wide choice of kinds of food on Ambergris, too: seafood, of course, but also steak, pizza, sushi, tapas, Chinese, Thai, Mexican, and French.

Caye Caulker has several small bistros where fish arrives at your table fresh from the ocean, and sometimes you find yourself eating with your feet in the sand. On other islands, you're usually limited to eating at your dive lodge or resort.

Many restaurants have sea views. Some are in thatch palapas, and others are in concrete or wood buildings that have windows open to catch the breeze. On Caulker and Ambergris cayes you won't have a problem finding places serving late-night snacks or breakfast in the morning, including the traditional Belizean breakfast of fruit, fry jacks, eggs (from brown eggs only), and delicious Belizean bacon or sausage, washed down with good Guatemalan coffee and fresh-squeezed OJ. On remote cayes and the atolls, you'll probably be at the mercy of your hotel's meal schedule, with specified hours for each meal.
