Om Shanti Cafe

Belize City


This fantastic new vegan cafe in Fort George is just the thing after a challenging Ashtanga class in the attached yoga studio, or a massage at the wellness center, all set in a gorgeously restored and repurposed waterfront abode. Menu selections include papaya ceviche, vegan nachos and vegan cashew cheese, and the soups, natural juices and desserts are also phenomenal.
