Lunch Food Tour

Your daytime taste of Belize

A relaxed walk through the flavors locals grow up with.

Belizean Bites is our daytime introduction to San Pedro through food, with a focus on the classics Belizeans know and love. Think rich rice & beans, a hot, fluffy fry jack, local street-food favorites and a taste of what we like to call the dessert of the gods.

Along the way, we’ll pop into small local kitchens and family-run favorites while your guide shares the stories behind the dishes and the Creole, Mestizo, Maya and other cultural influences that make Belizean food what it is.

It’s a delicious way to get to know San Pedro, and a great tour to do early in your trip. You’ll leave full, happy and knowing exactly where you want to eat next.

Dietary accommodations

We want everyone to enjoy the experience, and with a little advance notice, we can often accommodate dairy-free, gluten-sensitive and seafood-free preferences.

Our lunch tour visits small, local kitchens where dishes are prepared in the traditional way, so options can sometimes be limited. In some cases, an accommodation may simply mean leaving an item or ingredient off your tasting rather than replacing it with something different.

Vegan and vegetarian guests will generally find more flexibility on our dinner tour. For more restrictive diets, please reach out before booking so we can help you decide if the tour is a good fit. Onion, garlic and seasonings are at the heart of many Belizean dishes and are often cooked directly into the food, so we’re generally unable to accommodate restrictions that exclude them.

If you have a severe food allergy, please keep in mind that our stops are small, working kitchens and we cannot guarantee zero cross-contact. We strongly recommend bringing any prescribed emergency medication, including an EpiPen, and considering carefully whether a multi-stop food tour is suitable for your individual allergy needs.

Walking & accessibility

The tour covers about 1 mile in total, but we take it one bite at a time! Most walks between stops are just 1–8 minutes, with plenty of time to sit, eat and enjoy each stop along the way.

Guests with limited walking ability sometimes choose to follow the group by golf cart and meet us at each stop. Please keep in mind there will still be some walking between parking areas and entrances, and the route is not fully wheelchair accessible.
