A
Roots Kitchen
The place in Dangriga to eat like the locals do. In addition to the usual Belizean standards, such as beans and rice with stew beef or chicken, Roots is also known for its Wednesday, Friday and Saturday Garifuna feasts, when chef Delone cooks up fish stewed in coconut milk, served with hudut, a paste made from plantain.

B
Cedar Street Deli
This is a sight for sore eyes in a country where heart-healthy food is hard to come by. Open for lunch only, it serves salads, homemade lasagna and other distinctly non-Belizean dishes. There wasn’t a sign on the restaurant the last time we went, so look for the red and green doorway on the lower corner of a yellow house.

C
Riverside Café
Just east of the Stann Creek bridge, this cafe is the place to meet fishers and the folks who do boat tours to the outlying cayes. Food is good and the fish is always fresh. Don’t expect a full lobster for BZ$25 (the costliest item on the menu); it’s only a Mars Bar–sized tail, tasty but expensive.

D
Starlight Restaurant
The best Chinese restaurant in Dangriga, and probably one of the better ones in Belize. Starlight has been in operation for decades, and serves a good variety of traditional Chinese dishes using local ingredients. For some real Sino-Belizean fusion, try the conch chow mein. Lobster noodles are a surprising bargain.

Cella’s Pizza House
A cool-looking pizza joint in a private home at the north end of town, Cella’s serves good pizza and bottled beer in a fairly untrodden section of Dangriga. A bit pricey, but understandable as all ingredients are imported. (Pizza is definitely not native to Belize!)

F
King Burger
No relation to the chain restaurant of the reversed name, King Burger serves reliably fresh though somewhat mediocre breakfasts of eggs, beans and fryjacks for BZ$6.50, as well as hamburgers and plates of fried shrimp. Coffee is instant, but juices are fresh.

Karen’s Delight
Another unassuming, small shack restaurant serving wonderfully prepared local dishes, such as fry fish (caught daily) and stew chicken and beef. Karen makes some of the meanest pickled peppers you’ll find in town.
