Habanero, Caye Caulker, Belize

Habanero is supposedly one of the best restaurants in Caye Caulker and is the favourite of Tripadvisor's contributors. It was our worst experience in Belize, and probably also the most expensive one.



"Coconut sugar-caned bombs"

Samosas served with a chimichurri sauce

"Coco amor"

"Barrier reef sampler"
Shrimp, snapper and lobster kebabs

The menu looked promising, but the result was far from good and we did not like the food at all. All the dishes were served with such a sweet marinade that it wasted the taste of everything else. To add to our disappointment, we paid a total of 200 USD for four people which is four times the price we paid at other places in Caye Caulker. A very pretentious venue with a chef who is obviously tried to punch above his weight.
