The best restaurants South Side

We are attracted to this green and colourful restaurant. The terrace is surrounded by a lush vegetation that gives a great deal of stamp to the Siomara's. Once installed, the local dishes are served here from breakfast to dinner. Special mention for "fry jacks", fried doughnuts accompanied with mango jam. It's hard to forget so much about it!

Right in the heart of town, right next to the bridge, people come here for breakfast or a snack during the day, between two visits to the Dangriga region. It's a little place that's as local as it gets, frequented by locals as well as visitors from Belize who come to settle some business in town... Despite its basic decor, the food is very good and copious. It's very convenient for an early breakfast or a quick break, as in addition to the dishes, you can also find sandwiches and burgers.

Chester Ritchie and his wife Noelia welcome you to their restaurant specializing in bocas (quesadillas, burritos, tortillas) and other typical dishes(rice & beans, chicken stew...). The plantains are to die for! The fried fish is crisp without being dry, and the traditional potato salad is much better than at most other places in town. All the products used are fresh and tasty. From breakfast to dinner, don't hesitate to stop here, it's delicious.

The menu is redesigned daily by Chef Rob according to market arrivals and produce available within a 50 km radius. This Dutchman is passionate about food, and his dishes are a blend of local, Asian and European influences. The presentation is as meticulous as the taste. Prepare to feast, peacefully seated facing the sea. Start with a shrimp bisque flavored with old rum, which is exceptional.

If you have a pizza craving, this is surely the district's best solution. The pizzas are fresh and can be accompanied by salads. A few pasta dishes also add to the menu.

Right in the center of Placencia, on the main street running through the village, in a delightful wooded setting, the restaurant's tables are tastefully set in the middle of a garden with a sober, Zen atmosphere. The menu is inspired by Mediterranean and Asian recipes, and made from local produce. We particularly recommend the ceviche and linguini with pesto and prawns. The restaurant also has a massage area, should you wish to relax as much as possible before sampling the delicacies of this little secret garden.

An elegant tropical-colonial setting for this large restaurant on the second floor of a vast wooden house, open to the breeze that flows from the front terrace to the back. The restaurant's menu is full of surprises, thanks to its owners who have just arrived from New York. Delicious ceviche and memorable pork tacos are on the menu, and the pasta is a must-try. As its name suggests, the restaurant also boasts a fine wine list, with varietals from all over the world.

Cha Chi's is somewhere between a restaurant, a pizzeria and a gourmet pub. We come here to enjoy an excellent pizza with crispy dough or a filet of the day's fish, as well as to have a drink, especially in the late afternoon, as it's happy hour here every day! Classic North American dishes such as pizzas are prepared on the spot with the finest ingredients, and we keep coming back for more. In the evening, the atmosphere is festive and there's often live music. Reggae, salsa, Garifuna music, all tastes are catered for.
