Earth Runnins’
Earth Runnins’ Every now and then, you come across a restaurant run by someone for whom food preparation is a matter of ‘artistry’ first and ‘business’ second. Earth Runnins’ is such a place. At this restaurant, a party of four can order four separate dishes, which, though nutritionally similar in composition (meat or fish, starch, vegetable), are completely different in presentation, texture and flavor; each one offers something worth raving about. The decor is also fabulous, with mahogany furniture and walls painted in rich earth tones, and there’s a fine bar where you can have a few ice-cold Belikins while waiting for your meal.

Marian’s Bayview Restaurant
A 3rd-floor outdoor eatery with an amazing view over the Gulf of Honduras, this place is worth visiting for the ambience alone. But add to the mix excellent East Indian cuisine dished up by Marian and her husband Hubert, and some of the wickedest homemade hot sauce south of the Rio Grande (you can bring a bottle home for BZ$5; watch out, it’s a slow burn!), and you’ve got one of the best little restaurants in Punta Gorda. Very popular with locals, visitors and Peace Corps recruits alike.

Marencos
For a place in southern Belize, Marencos serves up some suspiciously good American-style food, including fine double cheeseburgers, french fries and Coke floats with vanilla ice cream. If it weren’t for the presence of some Belizean dishes on the menu, you might think you’d stepped into a scene from American Graffiti.

Waluco’s
If you’re wondering where everybody is on Saturday or Sunday afternoon, they’re probably out at this big breezy palapa a mile northeast of town, swimming off the pier, eating barbecue and knocking back a few Belikins. It’s normally open Tuesday to Saturday evenings, too, and Garifuna drummers often play here.

Grace’s Restaurant
A longtime favorite of locals and travelers alike, Grace’s offers a wide range of dishes, from Belizean favorites such as stew chicken, fried fish, and rice and beans to more exotic fare, including Chinese food and even grilled lobster for those with deeper pockets. Breakfasts are especially good value.

Hang Cheong Restaurant
One of the few Chinese restaurants in town, Hang Cheong seems to enjoy the best reputation (if lunchtime crowd sizes are anything to go by).
