WELCOME TO RESTAURANTE LAGUNA

The place where Belizean culinary traditions are celebrated, epicureans dine, and a new tradition is born. Perched waterside to the Placencia Lagoon, a full-service menu of breakfast, lunch, and dinner weaves time-honored dishes with culinary innovations, for a magnetic affair helmed by acclaimed Chef Rahim. Dine inside, where mixed textures like Mayan colored-bar stools and aligned hardwood floors exude warmth, or on the trellis-shaded lagoon-facing deck, freckled with hanging plants and string lights that glow gold. With a sundowner in hand, feast on the romanticism of dusk as the setting sun slips below the majestic Maya Mountains.

CUISINE

Sequestered on the edge of the Placencia lagoon with to-die-for views of the Maya Mountains on the horizon, this is the destination for the discerning diner. At Restaurante Laguna, consider food—and the leisurely eating of it in the open air—as the tentpole of many happy returns to Umaya. Between cocktails and canapés bolstered by crisp garden herbs and fresh catch of the day from the coast, expect a fusion of a strong Caribbean inheritance intertwined with Central American savors.
