Belize City Restaurants

  1. Dit's Restaurant

    Dit's has filling portions and friendly service in clean, fan-cooled surroundings. It's a good stop for most appetites - from a solid breakfast to a rice-and-beans lunch to a tasty pastry. The inexpensive coconut and lemon pies, juices and Mexican bites such as panades and salbutes (a tortilla variation) are worth the detour.

  2. Jambel's Jerk Pit

    A favorite with travelers for its Jamaican and Belizean food (Jam Bel, get it?), offerings here range from tasty shrimp creole, lobster-and-fish combo, spicy jerk chicken, sumptuous soups, and, importantly, draft beer. Choose between the cool tiled dining room or the leafy patio for a jungle experience.

  3. Smoky Mermaid

    This fine place serves tasty offerings on a lovely patio of towering tropical trees and fake fountains. Lobster, available eight ways, is a specialty; go for one of the lip-smacking pasta dishes if you're on a budget. There's also a section with air-con if the humid Tarzan backdrop gets too much.
