Recommended Restaurants
Our favorites!
**Closest to PUR - of course we have our own fun and great kitchen! But when you want to try something different - you can walk to Croc's for sports bar-type food with a Mexican flair, Dive Bar for great casual food options (try their Bloody Mary!!), Stella's for a quiet and romantic atmosphere, Truck Stop for amazing food truck options...Marbucks for gourmet coffee….Rum Dog for over-the water-dining….or Ak’bol for a rustic and bohemian beachfront lunch. These are all walking distance or within .2 miles away, so you can easily get there by foot or on our complimentary bikes. You can rent a golf cart for a day to visit some of the farther away options, or easily ride your bike, as even the farthest south options are only about 2.5 miles away.
Aji Tapa Bar & Restaurant - is north of the bridge, very well priced, fine dine setting, perfect for a romantic dinner with a wonderful setting - try out the Paella Belize. This is located at Bella Vista Resort Belize (our sister property - if you’re staying with us you can enjoy some great offerings and access to there amenities such as bikes, water toys(kayaks, snorkel gear, pool access) so it’s perfect to spend a day there.
Rain Restaurant - north of the bridge, this is pricey but very romantic - get there before sunset! (The sun sets early here - around 6)
Truck Stop - must try - food truck options.
Caliente - southern end of beach strip in town - great beach dining.
Blue Water Grill - A must do! Sushi Tuesdays/Thursdays is amazing, but so is everything else. Southern side of the heart of town, on the beach.
Wild Mango’s - great food and atmosphere - southern side of beach strip, on the beach.
Elvi's Kitchen - this is always a local favorite and a must-do, right in town.
Estelle’s - great atmosphere for breakfast, southern part of beach strip, on the beach.
Lagoona Bar and Grill - this is right in town near Tropic Air on the leeward side, great place to watch the sunset.
Stella's Sunset Wine Bar - right up the street - has great wine options in a romantic atmosphere. The atmosphere is calm, beautiful, and peaceful - we recommend stopping in for a quieter night, or for a drink or two.
***Warugama is an amazing place on back street in town (try the pupusas)...visiting the blue tarps in Central Park for street food is highly recommended....try Gypsy By Nook on middle street just north of town....or any of the modest food stands for chicken, rice, and beans, the national dish - the “blue tarps” in Central Park are a great place to try.
