Dear Food Lovers and Belize Adventurers,

As the cool November breezes sweep across the Placencia Peninsula, it’s time to indulge in one of the year’s most delicious highlights: Placencia Restaurant Week (PRW)!

Whether you’re a local craving something new or a visitor plotting your next escape, PRW is your ticket to Belize’s boldest bites at unbeatable prices.

Why Placencia Restaurant Week is Unmissable

Imagine sampling the soul-stirring Creole stews, zesty Mayan specialties, rhythmic Garifuna dishes, and global twists like Mediterranean mezze, Italian pastas, Asian fusion, Latin flair, and innovative blends—all under one sun-kissed week. Dozens of Placencia’s top spots, from timeless favorites to fresh faces, roll out the red carpet with three-course prix fixe menus:

• Lunch: $25 BZD (excluding beverages & gratuity)
• Dinner: $45 BZD (excluding beverages & gratuity)

These aren’t just meals; they’re journeys through Belize’s vibrant food scene, highlighting fresh, local ingredients and chef-driven creativity. Highlights include:

• The Galley: Seafood straight from the sea with a side of stunning views.
• Wendy’s Creole: Hearty, heartwarming Creole classics that feel like home.
• Koi Sushi: Fresh rolls and innovative nigiri for your sushi soul.

And that’s just the start! With new spots popping up and old favorites elevating their game, you’ll discover hidden gems you didn’t know you needed in your life.
