A Belize breakfast will typically include eggs, cheese, fresh fruit, tortillas and refried beans. Fry Jacks are a popular Belizean breakfast item. This deep-fried dough item is a toast replacement. Johnny Cakes, a fluffy biscuit, are also popular. Both Fry Jacks and Johnny Cakes are served with butter, jam, or honey. American style breakfasts are also widely available.
Most locals will enjoy a lunch of barbecue (or stewed) chicken served with rice & beans, coleslaw, and a fried plantain. You should expect to pay around US$5 for this lunch at any roadside stand or “deli”. A more adventurous lunch can be found at any hotel, restaurant, or bar. There are so many different cuisines and surroundings to pick from for a sumptuous lunch. For a lighter appetite, try some ceviche. Ceviche is chopped shrimp, lobster, fish, or conch combined with tomatoes, onions, and cilantro, then marinated in lime juice. It is served with fresh tortilla chips. A perfect light lunch or afternoon snack!
There are 4 parallel north-south stretches of restaurants around San Pedro. They are the beach overlooking the reef and then front, middle, and back streets. Yes, we know they have names but virtually no one knows them by their street names. Generally, the prices for dinner are most expensive at the beach and gradually less as you go past front, middle, and back streets. While prices get cheaper, the quality does not change significantly. As to tastes, San Pedro is home to many cuisines: Belizean, El Salvadorian, Chinese, Italian, Indian, Thai, Barbecue, Vegetarian, and Seafood of all types. We encourage you to explore the many options of food choices, locations, and prices.
Our “go to” restaurant in the north. Pur is a boutique hotel with a quaint little restaurant with a bar to belly up to. Or, grab a high-top table, sip on a margarita, and wait about 5 minutes for your order to arrive. The “make your own” tacos or burritos are the perfect but delicious lunch or dinner custom made to order. Read More.

Another fun dining option is to go aboard one of the dinner boats available from several of the local tour operators. Dinner cruises can be found on both the reef side of the island and the leeward (or west) of the island. It is always a memorable night to enjoy dinner out on the water watching the waves break over the reef or the sun go down over the horizon.
