Caye Caulker may be a small island, but the many eatery options will fill your belly and leave you satisfied. I am here to tell you the top five places to eat on Caye Caulker. You should know that these restaurants are in no particular order, but just my favorites when I visit the island.
Are you feeling Italian?
Let us start off with a tour of Italy on this beautiful island. Il Pellicano Cucina Italiana is a fan favorite on Caye Caulker. With excellent service and great food, you definitely will leave miserably (and blissfully) full. I love the vegetarian lasagna. And the vino is to die for! I also love the ambiance that the restaurant gives. They often have live music as well which makes it dinner and a show! They are located on the north side of the island on Back Street.
What about some Carribean style food?
If you feel like you want some real Caribbean food, then I have the spot for you: Wish Willy's Bar & Grill. This Caribbean fusion restaurant has the best bbq fish and a great (although different) atmosphere. Willy makes you feel right at home and often has some live music. That is us in the picture above enjoying a great night with friends at Wish Willy's.
Do you want a beautiful view?
If you have a big party and want a beautiful view during your meal, one of the best places to go is The Rainbow Grill. Located right on Front Street, the restaurant itself sits out on the ocean and has plenty of room if you have big parties. No matter what time of the night or even when the day is, it is the easiest place to get a seat. My favorite meal here is the shrimp quesadillas. I have tried replicating these at home with no success! They also make an excellent pina colada! Worth a visit during your stay!
Let's talk about Breakfast!!
When you visit Belize, you absolutely must have some Fry Jack's. They are the best breakfast item on the island, and I know just the place to get them! Errolyn's House of Fry Jacks is a small fry jack breakfast place on Middle Street and is incredible! We are regulars and now like to bring our breakfast home and enjoy (ha ha).
It is a small little building, and easy to miss, so keep a keen eye (although it is right across the street from the bank).
Furthermore, the prices are something you can not beat! Stop here if you get the chance! I love the egg and cheese fry jacks, but if you are a meat eater don't miss the sausage and egg!
Last but not least...
And for the last restaurant: Godfrey's Seaside Grill. This is a small restaurant just south of the main strip, right on the beach. Although the restaurant is smaller, it has great service and is kid friendly. The owner makes wonderful fresh fish, and the service is impeccable.
Also, if you get the chance, I would try his drink: the Blue Hole. It is quite the experience! And no worries, for a little fun, you can always play fetch with Roxie, the owner's dog. She is super friendly and fancies herself helpful around the restaurant.
I am hungry now!
I think I have sufficiently made myself, and hopefully you hungry. There are many options to eat at when on the island of Caye Caulker, but the five above are my favorites. If you are looking for good breakfast, do not forget the fry jacks at Errolyns. You can get great lunch at either Godfrey's or the Rainbow Grill. Lastly, the best dinners that you can get are at Wish Willy's or Il Pellicano's. I hope you enjoy your meals and have a drink for me!
