ADVENTURE GUIDE TO BELIZE |
||||
|
HABANEROS Front Street |
on Front Street up from the front dock, is popular. The cost for a large dinner is US$12.50 and you won’t get better on the island. They specialized in hot peppers and have even painted their entire building in hot pepper colors. However, they also serve home pasts and island-famous fajitas with tortillas. |

GLENDA'S BAKERY Back Street |
located in the blue house on Back Street just before the airport, is the best place to get fresh baked goods. Think cinnamon buns, but think early as they are usually gone by 9 am. Glenda’s place reminds me of the old days when we went to someone’s house and got the specialty for a reasonable price. The little area where Glenda serves her meals is spotless. The bakery opens at 7 am during the week and is closed on Sunday. |

RASTA PASTA Front Street |
relocated from Placencia and serves vegetarian foods, chicken and fish, seafood, turkey bacon, ham and sausage. Breakfast I served till noon. Maralyn Gill is known throughout Belize for her homemade granola, breads, cheesecakes, coconut chocolate chip macaroons, and brownies. For main courses she serves things like conch fritters, huge burritos and Thai curries. Maralyn takes great pride in the fact that she has never used animal fats in her cooking. Rasta Pasta is next door to the police station (this keeps you in line). |

CHAN'S
(AUNTIE'S) TAKE OUT |
is between Front and Middle Streets up from the dock. The meals are reasonably prices (chow mein for US$3) served in Styrofoam and eaten on the go. If you are in a hurry, the snack will sustain you until you get across to BC or Ambergris. |

|
SYD'S Middle Street |
is the supper version of Glenda’s. It’s located on Middle Street and is nicely decorated with Mayan masks. Syd offers burgers (spiced with his own sauces) and fires for US$3 and huge burritos for US$1. The lobster here is the best-tasting and least expensive on the entire island. |

|
TROPICAL PARADISE Front Street |
is on of the oldest restaurants on the island and one of the better places to go for breakfast. They open at 7 am. The French toast or pancakes are good and the cost is about US$3 a meal. This is a good deal. |
