Spoil your taste buds and enjoy our delectable ‘Jungle Cuisine’ in our romantic al fresco dining room. Enjoy the sounds of birds quarrelling in the surrounding trees in the daytime, or listen to the symphony of jungle sounds at night in our completely candlelit dining room. At the Chaa Creek restaurant, we combine modern and ‘old fashioned’ cooking techniques with a wide variety of fresh local produce to create innovative and original, mouthwatering meals. For your breakfast you can start your day light with a selection of tropical fruits and home made yogurt, or join the local habits by eating the more sturdy, refried beans, eggs and freshly prepared tortillas. For lunch you can choose from our ‘Back a Bush’ Menu with a choice of international dishes like pizzas and pastas joint by some regional favorites like quesadillas and tamales. Apart from our a la carte menu, starting this October, at dinner time we highly recommend our Chef’s daily changing four course connoisseur menu, which is for many of our guests one of the highlights of the day. Innovative dishes like carrot and ginger soup flavored with orange peel and lemon grass, cho cho and cantaloupe salad with mango and balsamic dressing, or fresh fish filet wrapped in ‘Santa Maria’ leaves sprinkled with lime butter are just a few examples of what you can expect in this menu. At the end of your day you may want to try a refreshing Sorrel Flower ice tea, our non-alcoholic signature drink. After dinner come over to our verandah bar where you can gaze at the stars and share stories with other guests while sipping on your favorite drink. Our outgoing bartenders will mix delicious tropical cocktails, while they tell you about their passion, their country of Belize and especially their Cayo District. Our bar has in stock the best selection of spirits in the country and is open from six in the morning until the last guest leaves. (close)
