I don't think she was talking about Wende's Pickled Parrot. There is a new(ish) restaurant called Wendy's right next to Olga's grocery store.

Wendy's is right next to the grocery store. I am not sure how long it has been around but I know that it is good.

I apologize for calling Placencia a town. It will never happen again.

You also shouldn't miss Merlene's in Bakader (Creole for Bakader). Very good, authentic Creole food.

Jake's Purple Space Monkey is also very good - espresso, big American-style breakfasts, try the chicken or fish Placencia for dinner -- or the lime garlic shrimp.

Sorry, guess I must have been in Belize for too long - Bakader is Creole for "back of there."

Before I went in February, someone told me to try the fajitas at the lunch stand in front of Wallen's Grocery. I did and my shrimp fajita was great. I grabbed it on the way to a half day of afternoon snorkeling. She also had other taste options, but only shrimp was left when I got there.

Most days I was gone for lunch and when I stopped by on my last day (a Monday) the stand was not open. Sigh...

I had the use of a kitchenette, so I also bought seafood from the fishermen's cooperative. I also got some decent frozen steak from Placencia Grocery.

Yes, I forgot about Dawn's (the stand in front of Wallen's). The fajita's are great as are the hot dogs (and I generally am not a hot dog lover).

FYI, Dawn's parents own The Galley just across the ballfield from Wallen's
