The restaurant is inside the San Ignacio Resort Hotel, but is a full restaurant open to all customers. We usually avoid "hotel Restaurants", but we went there on the Christmas Eve because many restaurants were closed and the few open were fully booked.
Entering the...Hotel we appreciated the nice lobby and very kind receptionist, but we notice also a terrifying view: a Christmas buffet with pasta, turkey, mashed potatoes and other traditional american food that we didn't want to eat while in Belize. Luckily the waiter offered us a limited, but nice A la Carte menu as well.
Even this menu had a very limited offer of local cuisine (ceviche, lobster popper, and few other items) and offered mediterranean plates like hummus, kebabs or sushi and many kinds of steaks; but we were so happy to have found a place where to eat that accepted the international menu.
We were sitting outside, on a beautiful terrace that during the day has a beautiful view on the garden. Nice table setting and perfect service.
We had (all price in Belize dollars that are 2 BLZ for 1 USD):
Popcorn Caribbean Lobster $40
Eggplant Fries $12
Beef Tenderloin Fillet with brussel sprouts and roasted potatoes $60
Lebanese Platter (hummus, pita, olives, grilled vegetables) + Lamb skewers $16
As a drink a good bubbly rose brut from Italy at a reasonable $65
Very good food cooked and presented in a very accurate way. And, as I said, the service was very professional.
So we end up to have a very satisfying Christmas dinner in a nice ambient, even if with a little Belizean flavor.More
