Top 10 Central American food in Placencia, Stann Creek, Belize

April 5, 2020 Carley Gatson

Find out what Central American restaurants to try in Placencia. Once a sleepy fishing village, Placencia has emerged as an increasingly popular eco-destination on the Caribbean. For those who enjoy outdoor adventure, the Stann Creek region offers a host of activities: hiking through mountainous rain forests, kayaking, deep sea fishing, diving and exploring Mayan ruins. The peninsula boasts 16 miles of tranquil beaches, with a lagoon to the west and the Caribbean to the east and lots of peace and quiet in the middle. Tour guides and dive centers offer a variety of excursions, with boat rides to the outer cayes an ongoing favorite. Also popular are guided land tours to Mayan Ruins or trekking the jungle trails of Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, where the first Jaguar Reserve in the world was established.

This is a wonderful little Hideaway in the middle of the Pelican Cayes only accessible by boat. The menu varies daily on what the sea provides. If you are lucky enough to find this mangrove island an a snorkel or fishing trip or while you are sailing thro

We spent a couple of days on our sailboat on a mooring off of Hideaway Caye. What a delightful place, and what friendly people! We could be found sitting under the palm thatch every afternoon enjoying drinks and conversation while our kids played with their daughter. We will most certainly be back when we return to Belize later this year!Thank you for the review Tanya. See you again.

Live music and good drinks, however the service is lacking, no friendly nor fast bar service here. There's even some signs above the bar to remind you. It's on the beach, so it's not all bad.

Many thanks to the staff at Tipsy for a stellar good time! Brought friends to the bar and left with even more! Frozen drinks (specialty) are just wonderful on a hot humid day. New events nightly include karaoke, drumming, etc. Lounge at the bar, lower deck, upper deck, or right on the beach! Food is very good as well with specials daily. Many thanks to Sal, Gillian, Lydia, Nancy, Chino, Fabio, Annie, and the rest of the Tipsy Tuna staff!

The Shak Beach Cafe

The Shak Beach Cafe's menu boasts bold, flavorful food and smoothies with a healthy appeal, all made to order from the freshest ingredients. We find that superior, simple ingredients including real fruit and veggies set our smoothies apart from the others

Fabulous location right on the beachfront. Great place just to hang out. Extensive range of drinks / juices / smoothies. A few vegetarian options available. Food is cooked fresh while you wait. Service and staff interaction - meh, could be a lot better. Loved the falafel wraps and great value too.

Barefoot Bar

Right on the beach in the heart of Placencia Village!!!!

Reviewed By TravelQ6492QE

The colorful tables and the quiet view during slow season make it a very relaxing meal. Coconut oil chicken stir fry. The chicken in Belize is non hormone, non GMO fed, non steroid pumped and you can really taste the difference. Barefoot will never win an award for in and out, but sometimes that it nice.

Reviewed By joejoejayj

Very well decorated and nice restaurant. The menu had some great choices and what we ordered was delicious. The prices on the menu were right where they should be for a nicer restaurant. Definitely recommend it and worth checking out. We wanted to try the Korean BBQ but never got around to it... it sounded delicious.

Rumfish y vino is centrally located in the Placencia Village Square. Overlooking the ballfield has a festive and breezy atmosphere, and a cool ecclectic soundtrack. A GASTRO-BAR Central American style. From tapas & wine...to frosty draft beers & fish taco

We went to this hotel for dinner one night and we enjoyed the food, presentation and service. The ambient was nice and relaxed. Pool in front and a nice backyard of trees and flowers on the side. Tables and chairs were comfortable and they had 3 levels above ground, which made it romantic and interesting. Not ideal for younger active kids, but staff of the restaurant was very accommodating and understanding. The way we were treated made a big difference! It was a big plus. The place is expensive but the food tasted wonderful and was well presented. The lobster tail I had came in a nice glass cup. The picture is in my instagram danuza.aquino if you want to see it. It made me very happy! I also like the manager of grounds. He took time to greed us and explain the plants plus show us around. It was a nice experience altogether. I heard people say great things about the hotel in general but we were there just for dinner.

Thank you for the most stunning meal that we had in Placenica..You should be No.1, the lobster was undoubtedly the best we ate in Placencia and considerably cheaper from the ‘resort restaurants’. Our adorable server Sarah was so charming and efficient. Thank you!! Xx
