Belamari

Top choice in Belize City


This open-air, seaside restaurant in Buttonwood Bay is a chic new spot for cocktails, and all the better if you make a meal of it. The menu spans several continents, with everything from Brazilian shrimp stew to mushroom chicken marsala to pork schnitzel. And though the kitchen's a bit poky, the breezy dining area and ocean views are lovely.
