RESTAURANT GUIDE - To Ambergris Caye, Belize

One of the great delights of Ambergris Caye is the overwhelming offering and variety of great food.  Each restaurant offers its own version of old favorites and the infusion of Mexican, Caribbean and Belizean food is mouth watering. 

The Belize Barrier Reef, offers a feast of seafood, right to your plate each night.  Fresh lobster, conch, stone crab, claws, shrimp, calamari, red snapper, grouper, yellow tail snapper, tuna and at selected restaurants, you may even find snook on the menu.  You'll also discover a host of different cuisines from Oriental to European, Continental to Italian, Mayan to Creole, and Mexican to Thai.  Sushi, pizza, a big juicy steak, barbecue beach front?  All of this is available on Ambergris Caye. 

We have a few favorite restaurant, but please be sure to stop by Blue Water Grill, on Tuesday and Thursday nights for sushi, and Elvi's Kitchen  on Friday nights for a Mayan buffet.  Sample Executive Chef, Chris Aycock at Blue Water Grill, and Amy Knox at Wild Mango's. 

Ambergris Caye has a wide selection of restaurants, ranging from inexpensive local spots and pizza joints to a few that are rated among the finest in the world. Most restaurants place an emphasis on the Caribbean flare, with seafood being being at the top of the list.  Many restaurants also serve chicken, beef and pork. Lobster is usually only available during lobster season (mid July to mid February), and is usually the most-expensive item on the menu. Most restaurants accept a casual for of dress, even at the spiffy places.  Conch season is September 30-July 1st, and shrimp doesn't really have a season but very hard to get from June-August.

Price ranges below are for typical meals (usually one dinner), and does not include, tip, tax or alcoholic drinks:
*  $5.00 USD & under (Inexpensive)
*  $6.00-$15.00 US (Moderate)
