Dining in Belize

Habanero's restaurant, Caye Caulker, Belize.
This is where Shari and I celebrated February 28th.
We considered Don Corleone's and Rosie's. We kept returning to Habanero's. Thankfully, they would be open on Monday and we were able to get a reservation. We dropped off wine so that it would be table ready when we arrived. Meaning, they would chill it for us.
Coconut encrusted snapper. Exquisite. Perfectly executed and delicious. By far, the best meal we ate while in Belize.

Chicken satay. Blissful and lovely. We considered the pork with chimichurri sauce, but the satay triumphed. Equally tasty to the snapper. The previous night, we tried a chicken dish and found it to be extremely dry. The satay erased that experience completely.

The beginning of the meal. Trio of appetizers. Ceviche. Samosas and voodoo cakes. I preferred the ceviche to the other two. Probably because I love chips.



Rutherford Hill Merleot. Shari brought this from the States which was ideal. Otherwise, we would have had limited options. We like this merlot. It is nostalgic.
The only downside was the lack of chocolate. On the menu, they listed a chocolate dessert. However, when we asked for it, we were informed that they no longer offer that particular item. They suggested their key lime pie. I wasn't interested in that that night. No, I wanted/needed chocolate to complete the celebration.
Still, inspite of that lapse, the meal was amazing. A perfect ending to the day.
If you are in Caye Caulker, make sure to look it up.
