Hello,

I am new to the board as a poster, but have been a long time voyeur.

I am on Ambergris Caye right now for only one night and was wondering where to find a great place for a nice meal and a drink or two. Everything seemed to be closed when I arrived last night.

Lobster/Shrimp/Snapper in a lime sauce with fire roasted veggies and potato....mmmm

Pedro's is always a fun night and good pizza. For dinner, we went up to Portofino the other night and had a wonderful dinner. They have a free boat if you call to reserve.

Pedro's is always a blast and yummy pizza.

For incredible (and slightly expensive, but so worth it) food, go to Portofino's! The lobster bisque was the best soup I've ever had!

No dress code that I know of, but dressed up in San Pedro is putting on a button up shirt and wearing the nice flip flops smile

Either restaurant is absolutely wonderful!

I think some type of garment to cover up the nether-regions would be advisable too....

There goes Canukgirl wanting free "nether regions" for all again...she has changed so much from the shy, small town, Canadian girl I first met.

Last night was the opening of Tammy Peterson's new restaurant in the purple building near the school. A delightful new place,'The hummingbird Cafe' (love that name). The Purple building is called Velma Linda Building. Yummy!

The Hummingbird Cafe will feature Gallon Jug beef (Belizean) and Belizean Shrimp - can't remember the name of the farm.

The food was great. They will serve breakfast starting from 8am, lunch and dinner by appointment only. For breakfast and lunch you can have a standing order, or pre-order so that the food is on the table ready and waiting when you arrive. The restaurant will cater private dinners only. Minimum of 4 people, maximum of 16. Family style. You would preorder your meal.

A big thumbs up for Tammy and the family.
