Restaurants in Punta Gorda
Dining options are far from extensive in Punta Gorda. In addition to the restaurants that we discuss with full reviews, check out Grace's Restaurant, at the corner of Main and King streets (tel. 702-2414), for good local fare.
Out a little bit north of town, just across from and facing the bay, Waluco's Restaurant (tel. 702-2119) is a good place for fish, pasta, or rotisserie chicken. The open-air restaurant has a great view and a friendly, casual vibe. And even a bit beyond Waluco’s, you’ll find the Mangrove Inn (tel. 623-0497), which serves a limited nightly menu in an intimate setting with personalized service.

Emery's
This is a good bet for straightforward, fresh, local cuisine. I prefer the tables in a large, open-air, thatch-roof structure off the small wooden building that has the kitchen, bar, and small screened-in dining area. This large dining area has half-walls of bamboo and a series of…$$Around Town - Vegetarian/Belizean
Gomier's Foods
Attention vegan and vegetarian travelers: you won’t be relegate to side dishes here. Owner Gomier not only makes a slew of plant-based dishes, many of them are created from his backyard garden.

Marian's Bayview
For years, Marian made a name for herself selling authentic East Indian food out of a simple stall at the small market in downtown Punta Gorda.
