After enjoying your in-room cup of morning coffee, chose whether to take a leisurely, toes in sand stroll for breakfast or a sidewalk wander to see the locals bustling around to start their day. The First Lady’s top picks will guide you the best experiences from local to international, casual to upscale.

Let’s start with some local delicacies at Wendy’s Creole Restaurant. The hot fry jacks go well with fried beans and stewed chicken or fried fish. This Belizean breakfast is as creole as it gets! The consistently delicious breakfast includes eggs (any style) with a several side choices. They also have great to go options such as breakfast sandwiches, stuffed jacks, and breakfast burritos if you are in the mood to get something and walk the beach or poke around in town. From here, just head to the point of the peninsula, about a ten minute beach front walk, then turn left onto the main road for about two minutes.

Another great way to start the day is with our neighbours at De’Tatch. The quicker you get your toes in the sand, the better! Enjoy a yogurt with granola or fruit plate if you are looking for something lighter. There are also options such as omelettes and fully loaded breakfast burrito. International breakfasts such as pancakes, waffles and french toast are all great choices too.

Just across from the Ellysian, sits the Farm House Deli which boasts freshly baked gourmet breads such as multi-grain, honey-oat and sourdough. There is also a wide selection of other breakfast items such as sandwiches, scrambled eggs, muffins, and bagels with cream cheese. At the Farm House deli, breakfast is served all day, so it will be ready whenever you are!
