Best place to eat at Port?

[dsu54]

Stopping in Belize in a couple weeks. We are probably just staying in the Port area. What is the best place to eat?

IMO, the Wet Lizard. There are a couple of other small places though. Depends on what you're looking for. WL has great conch fritters and decent meat pies. Othe rseafood available too. Plus ice cold Belikins.

 

If, and only if, you decide to overcome the "fear of the port" that gets espoused by many posters here, and by cruiselines wanting you to only book ship excursions, there is a great Belizean restaurant just a few blocks up from the Tourist Village (Nerries on Queen Street and Daly;turn left out of the TV) and a nice hotel restaurant (Tinto's in the Great House) just before you get to the lighthouse (turn right out of the TV). if you catch a taxi and go over the swing bridge, head to Bird's Isle on Albert Street, nearer the southern end of Belize City's business district. Open air dining under a palapa roof, small, not on many tourists route but really good food and grat view.

Thanks for the reply. I guess there is not much other than Wet Lizard at the port.

You can find some general information on what is served at The Wet Lizard on their website.

Hi! New cruiser here. I am not afraid to leave the TV. Looking for good authentic and cheap (er) food for lunch when we are there. Is Nerries a good place? Also looking for pharmacy when we get there. Are all the prices the same or should we go to the one at the pier?

 

TIA

We enjoyed lunch at the Wet Lizard. Cold beer, great salsa, and music. If you want an alternative, there was also another place to the far right as you came to the port area, but we didn't visit there.

I was last in Belize on the Spirit a couple of years ago. My DW, son and daughter-in-law exited the gates, turned left and walked a block or so to the first food cart on the right. It was packed with locals. We had one of the best meals of the trip from that cart. We shared chicken and goat curries with rice, beans, plantains and the like.
