COCOPLUM South end of island, near
airstrip. |
It’s a bit of a hike to this little restaurant at the island’s south end, but a shuttle will pick you up on Front Street near the basketball court. It’s worth the effort-enjoy wholesome breads, fresh-made granola, and other all-natural foods, all in a lovely garden setting (owners also operate a nursery). While you’re here, browse the small gallery and gift shop with Belizean-made grafts. |

HABANEROS Front St. |
On the front door is a hand-painted drawing of a Habaneros pepper plant, but you shouldn’t feel threatened-not everything here is super spicy. When you taste the Snapper Santa Fe or the Brazilian pork, you’ll know why this is considered the best restaurant between San Pedro and Belize City. |

RASTA PASTA Front
Street. |
This is the third reincarnation of Rasta Pasta in Belize, the first, in San Pedro, lost its lease, and the second, in Placencia, was destroyed by Hurricane Iris. The third time’s a charm, though, and people line up salivating for owner Maralyn Gill’s conch fritters, chicken tostadas, giant English muffins, and scrumptious coconut macaroons. |

|
SANDBOX Front Street. |
Whether outside under the palms or indoors under the lazily turning ceiling fans, you’ll always have your feet in the sand here. The manes of regulars are carved on the backs of the chairs. Open form 7 AM to 10 PM, the Sandbox serves lobster omelet for breakfast, ceviche or seafood salad for lunch, and red snapper in mango sauce for dinner. The chowders are also very good. Prices are reasonable, and portions are large. At night the bar gets very lively. |
