You can’t really go wrong eating on Caye Caulker. These are the places our guests at Casa Vista Belize go back to, grouped by how you get there. Hours change with the season, so check before you go.
On the north side, near the house
Casa Vista is on the quiet side of the island, across The Split from the village. These are on our side, so there is no boat involved.
- Caribbean Roots: right next door. They play music in the afternoons.
- Northside Happy Lobster: about 300 yards from the house. Seafood, and they do pickup and takeout.
- Lotus at Blu Zen: a short walk or bike ride on the north side, a good choice for a nicer dinner.
- La Fogata and Mercado: also on the north side.
- El Ben Cabanas: pickup and takeout.
Several north side restaurants will send a boat to collect your group. Ask our property manager which ones are doing pickups that week.
In the village, across The Split
The Split to Split boat crosses on demand all day, and the landing is about a half mile from the house.
- Pasta Per Caso: fresh pasta made that day, a short menu that changes. One of the owner’s two favorites.
- Il Pellicano Cucina Italiana: the other favorite. Italian in a garden setting.
- Hibisca: a good dinner spot in the village.
What to order on the island
- Lobster, in season from June 15 to February 14
- Conch, shrimp and fresh fish, grilled, fried or as ceviche
- Fresh squeezed juice, the best deal on the island
- Belikin, the local beer, and a frozen coconut mojito at the Sports Bar
Eating in
Both units have full kitchens. The village has the most choice for groceries and there is shopping on the north side too. Send a list ahead and groceries can be waiting when you arrive. A cook can also be arranged at the house, usually about $25 US per person per meal. Bring ground coffee from home.
Nights out
The Split has music, food and the full moon parties. I and I Reggae Bar is the local club, and the Sports Bar runs trivia and karaoke.
