The Cayo District Restaurants

San Ignacio is the culinary center of the Cayo, with close to 20 restaurants. Most are small spots, with only a few tables. Restaurants offer Indian, French, German, and even Sri Lankan fare as well as burritos and beans. Prices, designed to appeal to the budget and midlevel travelers who stay in town, rarely rise above the moderate level. At the jungle lodges outside San Ignacio, prices are much higher. Some lodges charge BZ$65 or BZ$70, or more, for dinner, leaving some guests to wonder if the expense is justified.
