Lonely Planet review for Jambel’s Jerk Pit

Jambel’s recent move from the city center to the northern outskirts is a good example of why Belize City deserves its reputation for danger: despite his restaurant having long been a neighborhood fixture, the owner decided to pack it in after a robbery at the former location on King St ended with him being shot in the stomach. Jambel’s new location on the coast is far more pleasant, and his food, blending the best of Jamaican and Belizean culinary traditions, is still tops. Try the jerk fish, jerk chicken, or jerk family platter. Vegetarians won’t want to miss Jambel’s jerk tomato pasta. Is there anything this man can’t jerk?
