- Good lunches
- Stew chicken with all the fixings
- Low-key atmosphere
-
24. Aurora's Bar & Grill
$$ | |Want to step a little off the tourist trail? Head over to Aurora's––she's one of the first to plant her flag at Secret Beach, and one of the few Belizean owners currently there. Aurora dishes up fresh seafood in a small outdoor bar on the water. It's nothing flashy, but it sure is tasty.
Ambergris Caye, Corozal, Belize629--4176Known For

- A bonfire some nights
- A quiet reprieve from loud music
-

26. Black Orchid
$$$ | |Black Orchid is named for the delicate national flower of Belize, but the gorgeous food here ranges from Belizean to global fusion. Vibrant dishes include ginger pork egg rolls and teriyaki chicken cooked over a lava rock broiler. This island-elegant dining room has thatch accents, a fountain tiered like a Maya temple, and starched tablecloths. Swing by for a popular happy hour starting at 3 pm, but make a reservation if you plan to stay for dinner.
S. Coconut Dr., San Pedro Town, Belize District, Belize206--2441Known For
- A great happy hour (3–5:30 pm)
- Crusted orange rum grouper
- A romantic but not stuffy scene
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Sun. and Mon. No lunch -
27. Blue Bayou Bar & Restaurant
$$ | |Blue Bayou is sure to please: set slightly apart from the Secret Beach hubbub, it has partially underwater picnic tables and friendly servers who wade into the lagoon to take your meal order. Blue Bayou is a slightly less touristy hangout in this area (emphasis on slightly). The turquoise water is Blue Bayou's main attraction, as there isn't much of a beach. The quesadillas and nachos are mediocre, but the hot-from-the-grill shrimp and fish dishes do the trick after an hour of swimming. Live music is a hit on weekends, but music is pumping pretty much always. Careful not to lose a straw in the water---this is inside the Hol Chan Marine Reserve.
Secret Beach, Ambergris Caye, Corozal, Belize620--3584Known For
- Fun underwater seating
- Wade-up service
- Frilly frozen drinks
-
28. Blue Water Grill
$$$ | |The jazzy marquee letters reading “I Love Belize” capture the enthusiasm of this long-standing favorite. The beachfront restaurant serves up colorful dishes like Thai-inspired black bean-encrusted fish, plus less flashy options like a club sandwich, so there's something for everyone. Nothing about Blue Water is cheap, but it works to please, with its wood-fired pizzas, top-notch service, and breezy beachfront setting.
At SunBreeze Hotel, San Pedro Town, Belize District, Belize226--3347Known For
- Coconut shrimp skewers
- Sushi on Friday
- Playful atmosphere
-
29. Caliente
$$$ | |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
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Mon. -
30. Caramba!
$$$ | |The outdoor ice coolers of fresh lobster, mussels, and fish might lure you into Caramba; once inside, you'll quickly sense the frenetic energy of this noisy and often packed joint. No sea views, and there's nothing fancy on the broad menu here—just basics like grilled snapper, fried shrimp, pork chops, and Mexican fajitas, all in American portions—but everything is well prepared, prices are moderate, and the service is snappy and enthusiastic. Belizean owner Rene Reyes worked his way up from fruit-seller to successful restaurateur.
20 Pescador Dr., San Pedro Town, Belize District, Belize226--4321Known For
- Incredibly fresh seafood
- Habanero margaritas
- A fun dinner
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Wed. -
31. Caribbean Colors Art Café
$$ | |For a good cup of coffee and a splash of color, this little café cum art gallery in the heart of Front Street is the place to go. Owner and longtime expat artist Lee Vanderwalker sells her painted canvases and silks here. The café serves up good pancakes, huevos rancheros, bagels (rare in Belize), and a smattering of healthy lunch plates, including gluten free and vegan options.
Av. Hicaco, Caye Caulker, Belize District, Belize605--9242Known For
- Local art
- Quality coffee and espresso
- Mango crumble in summer months
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Mon. No dinner -
32. Chef Juan's Kitchen and Pastries
$$ | |Plunk down at a mint-green picnic table and tuck into a coconut curry, grilled fish, or––better yet––a meringue-topped key lime pie (probably the island's best). Breakfast is killer, too, and at local prices. This counter-service joint is as low-key as it gets, and cheaper than anything waterfront. Note that Juan's doesn't serve alcohol.
64 Crocodile St., Caye Caulker, Belize District, BelizeKnown For
- Breakfast for a few bucks
- Mouthwatering desserts
- Belizean flavor and ambience
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Cash only -
33. Estel's Dine by the Sea
$$ | |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
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Sun. -
34. Food Republic
$$ | |Dining under fairy lights and a shaggy thatch roof is a wonderful way to conclude your day on Caulker. Seafood is the rage at this remodeled palapa restaurant, and there's an iced display of the catch of the day; choose from snapper, grouper, barracuda, or lobster and have it grilled on the spot. The bartenders have been known to make great things happen from dragon fruit and local rum. This spot is formerly Rose's.
Calle del Sol, Caye Caulker, Belize District, Belize206-0600Known For
- Big portions
- Elaborate fruity cocktails
- Lovely ambience inland from the water
-
35. Frenchy's
$$$$ | |Escargot and foie gras in Belize? Why, yes––the famous "Pat the Frenchman" has created a culinary experience so impressive you'll write home about San Pedro's sizzling food scene. Chef-owner Patrick Parmentier does marvels with butter, olive oil, spices, and all other good things in his succulent dishes. In the backyard, Le Jardin––a beautiful garden furnished with handmade tables under wooden pergolas––is ideal for a predinner cocktail. With so much imported, including the culinary style, this isn't your spot for local flavor; but it's fun for a change of pace. The food is out of this world, and so are the prices. Frenchy's is small; reservations are encouraged.
100 Coconut Dr., San Pedro Town, Belize District, Belize610--3764Known For
- Gambas al ajillo
- The soufflé du jour
- Signature chandeliers
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Sun. and Mon. No lunch -
36. Glenda's Café
$ | |Glenda's menu is on a chalkboard, short and sweet, and you place your order at the window of a pretty clapboard house. At breakfast, when this café is most popular, you can get a hearty meal of eggs, bacon, beans, johnnycakes, and fresh OJ, all for a pittance. Dine under the solemn eyes of a print of The Last Supper, or take it to go. It starts up at 7 am; get there early to snag a cinnamon bun. The hours are island style, so Glenda's may not be open when you want it to be, especially at lunch.
Av. Mangle, Caye Caulker, Belize District, Belize226-0148Known For
- Fresh cinnamon buns
- A cheap full-order breakfast
- Homey atmosphere
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Sun. and sometimes other days. No dinner, No credit cards -
37. Hibisca by Habanero
$$$ | |Perhaps the brightest foodie highlight on Caye Caulker, Hibisca serves the kind of innovative dishes you'd expect in a cosmopolitan city. Don't worry, though––it's still casual Caulker. Chef-owner Darren Casson pushes for ambitious, genre-busting flavors, but he also dishes up loaded fries and an array of burgers (including a veggie patty). Most guests go gaga over flavor combos like red pepper romesco sauce paired with Belizean dukunu (a tamale-like dish), but some sniff at the avant-garde style. You'll have to try it to know where you land.
Calle del Sol at Av. Hicaco, Caye Caulker, Belize District, Belize626--4911Known For
- Coconut seafood stew
- Delicious marinated meats
- A candlelit veranda
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: No lunch -
38. Ice n' Beans
$ | |If you’re jonesing for a caffeinated treat—maybe a Nutella frappe or a cappuccino—look no further. Ice n’ Beans is your quick seafront coffee bar where tasty samples are dished out to anyone who walks up. Bagel sandwiches and tasty smoothies are also on offer. You can get your coffee here until early evening.
Playa Ascunción, Caye Caulker, Belize District, Belize662--5089Known For
- Java chip frappe with organic Belizean beans
- Friendly faces
- Beachfront hammocks
-
39. Il Pellicano Cucina Italiana
$$$ | |Lush palms, lamplight, and blooms of burning love flowers all make for a seductive ambience on an island where you expect picnic tables and sand floors. Il Pellicano features classics like risotto, gnocchi, and margherita pizza (not fresh mozzarella, but better than the island's average), with imported rarities like capers and porcini mushrooms. The menu changes frequently and the desserts change daily. Il Pellicano is celebrated by some for its atmosphere more than its consistency, but it remains a choice spot for a romantic evening.
49 Pasero St., Caye Caulker, Belize District, Belize226--0660Known For
- Alfresco dining in a gorgeous, jungle-like garden
- Live music on a small outdoor stage
- Tasty lasagna
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Mon. No lunch -
40. Lazy Lizard Bar & Grill
$$ | |"Sunny place for shady people" is the old-time slogan of the Lazy Lizard, the hangout that still reigns at the ever-happening Split. Wade with some friends into the Caribbean with an icy bucket of Belikins, or jump of the rickety diving platform (but do it sober). If you're not feeling that gutsy, at night you can watch the fish as multicolored spotlights illuminate the water. Don't expect cheap drinks or gourmet bar snacks (think plasticky nacho cheese). But the location makes the Lizard an iconic hangout.
The Split, Caye Caulker, Belize District, Belize226--0655Known For
- Daytime cocktails and overpriced rum
- Spring-break vibes
- Prime spot for cooling off
