Wicker lanterns gently sway in the coastal breeze, adding a touch of charm to the dining experience that centers around seafood. The menu highlights diverse flavors, including coconut husk-smoked pork belly paired with ground provisions as a nod to the local Garifuna culture.

Cuisine
The Paddle House is directly influenced by the surrounding Garifuna community, an indigenous people whose staple meals rely on fish, plantain, and root vegetables. In Belize, homage is paid to culture through food. Freshly caught snapper is paired with creamy coconut rice as flavors of the south inspire soulful decadence. Even with the sea calling, you’ll find inland classics and northern flavors to complete the menu.
