1. Chef Rob's Gourmet Café/Love on the Rocks
$$$ | |You'll recognize this restaurant by the big sign out front made from one side of a red 1964 Peugeot 404, and inside the restaurant at Parrot Cove Lodge, the eclectic Caribbean-style, locally sourced food is nothing but contemporary and delicious. The place is really a two-for-one, with the adjoining Love on the Rocks restaurant, where guests cook their own food on lava rock. You can order a four-course meal (soup, salad, entrée, and dessert) from the prix-fixe menu or order à la carte. The menu changes daily, but the entrée might be lobster, fresh fish, or ribs, all presented creatively and with interesting sauces. The Chef's Table is a third option if you have a group of at least six, but no more than 12. Rob will prepare a private, sumptuous seven-course dinner for your group for BZ$130 per person. Advance reservations of at least 48 hours' notice are required.
Sittee River Rd., Hopkins, Stann Creek, Belize663–1529Known For
- Eclectic, rotating menu
- One of Belize's top restaurants
- Option to cook your own food

2. Amped Coffee
$ | |The line forms early for Amped’s savory meat pies, baked fresh each day. They’ll fortify you for a morning of sightseeing. You may simply want to grab a table and a coffee and revel in the air-conditioning—it’s one of the few small Hopkins eateries that have it. The Amped folks also offer a rotating selection of area tours.

5. Driftwood Beach Bar & Pizza Shack
$$ | |Driftwood arguably has the best pizza in southern Belize, served up in a friendly, casual atmosphere in a beachfront thatch palapa. Try the Driftwood combo pizza, with red sauce, pepperoni, Italian sausage, peppers, onion, mushrooms, and black olives (in three sizes). If pizza isn't your thing, go for the catch of the day or one of the pasta dishes. There's plenty of cold beer and rum at reasonable prices, and occasional music Friday and Saturday evenings.

6. Innies Restaurant
$ | |At Innies, as at most local restaurants in the village, you're eating in a spot that was once somebody's house or back porch. Here, you can dine inside or outside and get the full flavor of village life. The food is authentic (though some dishes cater to the taste of tourists), delicious, and inexpensive. You'll find the staff very friendly. Traditional Garifuna dishes such as hudut (fish cooked in coconut milk and served with mashed plantains) and ereba (grated cassava bread) with bundiga (a gravy of grated plantains and coconut) are available, but less exotic dishes like fried chicken and rice and beans with stew chicken are also served.

$$ | |You might feel like you've stumbled into a bar in the States, but this open-air bar just has all those trappings—several TVs tuned to sports channels, nice restrooms, and efficient service. If you're craving fried-not-greasy food, get the Chicklets (chicken tenders skillfully battered in buttermilk and cornmeal), or the Lucky Clucker Lollipops (chicken skewers). Come back for the great night scene. “I Got Lucky at Lucky Lobster” visors, koozies, and T-shirts can be purchased.

10. Nice Cream
$ | |The village’s bright, pastel, tropical beachfront ice cream shop offers 19 regular flavors dished up in cones or dishes. (This is Belize, so expect lots of banana and pineapple and coconut offerings among the choices.) Never fear, though: vanilla and chocolate are on the menu if your tastes run less adventurous. Also never fear: you’ll find a few vegan and lactose-free options to cool you off on a hot day.
