Restaurants in San Ignacio
In addition to the places we give full reviews for, we can give a definite thumbs up to the following places. Maxim’s Chinese Restaurant, 23 Far West St. (tel. 824-2283), is a local’s favorite. You might also want to take the adventure of finding Sanny’s Grill, 23rd Street (tel. 664-9083), which is tucked away in a residential neighborhood and serves excellent seafood and grilled meats. For inexpensive eats in a large outdoor setting, you can try Hode’s Place Bar & Grill (www.hodesplaces.com; tel. 804-2522), located out on the northern end of town. They are also one of the only places in town that do delivery. The Ice Cream Shoppe at 24 West St. (tel. 615-6160) serves up excellent scoops, with Belize-specific flavors, like soursop, a fruit found only in the tropics of Latin America. They serve standard flavors too, plus milkshakes that are expensive but totally worth it.
