1. Asha's Culture Kitchen
$$ | |In a rustic wood shack built right over the water, Asha's has the best views of any restaurant in Punta Gorda. Asha's specializes in fresh seafood served Creole style, such as fried conch with mashed potatoes or grilled snapper with plantains and beans and rice. The menu changes daily. Stake out a place in the main dining room or on the breezy deck and look across the Gulf of Honduras toward Guatemala.
74 Front St., Punta Gorda, Toledo, Belize651–8366Known For
- Solid Creole cooking
- Rotating menu each day

2. Waluco's
$$ | |Hands down Punta Gorda's best and most pleasant restaurant, Waluco's is a project of TIDE, a local conservation organization, and profits go to support its work. Go for the fresh-grilled fish of the day, which might be snook, snapper, or another local catch. Prices are lower here than at most other restaurants in town, and if you come before dark, you'll enjoy views across the street of the Gulf of Honduras. Thursday is karaoke night, and there's occasional music by local acts other nights.
Mile 1, Southern Hwy., Punta Gorda, Toledo, Belize702/2129Known For
- Grilled catch of the day
- Great prices
- Thursday karaoke night

3. Gomier's Restaurant
$$ | |Count your lucky stars if you find Gomier’s open—the owner doesn’t always follow his posted hours—and enjoy an excellent vegetarian or vegan meal from organic ingredients grown locally, along with some seafood. Go with the vegetarian dish of the day, which could be stir-fried tofu or vegan spaghetti. Fresh seafood dishes, such as shrimp curry, sometimes are available. Garifuna hudut (green and ripe mashed plantains with fish and coconut stew) lunches are on Friday, and there's live music or documentary movies some nights. Prices are reasonable. The owner also offers tofu-making and cooking classes.
Alejandro Vernon St., Punta Gorda, Toledo, Belize722–2929Known For
- Fresh seafood dishes
- Tofu-making and cooking classes
- Friday Garifuna-style lunches

4. Grace's
$$ | |An established spot, Grace's has genuine value, a down-home feel, and hearty plates of beans and rice and other Belizean staples on the menu. Get a seat near the entrance and eye the town's street life. This is a good place for a full breakfast of eggs, bacon, fry jacks (a Belizean version of a Mexican sopapilla), and, of course, beans. For lunch and dinner you can always get chicken, but you can usually get fresh fish, too, plus pizza, chow mein, hamburgers, and several dozen other dishes.
21 Main St., Punta Gorda, Toledo, Belize702–2414Known For
- Hearty Belizean breakfasts
- Nice variety of non-Belizean food
- Place to watch the goings-on in Punta Gorda

5. Mangrove Restaurant
$$ | |No pretense here—instead, you're seated on the second-floor veranda of the chef-owner's house across the street from the water in Cattle Landing village just northeast of Punta Gorda. You'll find different dishes every evening but usually with a choice of seafood (snapper, snook, or shrimp) or a hearty dish like a thick pork chop or lasagna. It's all delicious and inexpensive, and it's BYOB so bring your own beer or rum. Because it's a little away from the main downtown area, most guests are local residents or expats, not tourists.
Southern Hwy., Punta Gorda, Toledo, Belize623–0497Known For
- Terrific prices
- BYOB
- Friendly local vibe
