Restaurants in Dangriga
When you're in Dangriga, be sure to sample some of the local Garífuna cooking. One staple you'll find at many restaurants is a bread made from cassava, also known as yuca. The best place in town to look for traditional Garífuna cooking is the down-home Roots Kitchen (no phone) on the north side of Havana Creek, just in from St. Vincent Street. Be sure to try the hudut, a dish featuring fresh fish cooked in coconut milk, accompanied by pieces of plantain and cassava.
Up and down the main street through town -- St. Vincent Street and Commerce Street -- you'll find numerous very basic restaurants. In addition to the restaurant listed here, The King Burger Restaurant, 135 Commerce St. (tel. 522-2476), which is not affiliated with the Burger King fast-food chain, is a local favorite serving simple Belizean meals heavy on the grease. There are also several very basic Chinese restaurants along the main street.
