由於許多不同的文化生活在同一個國家，我們自然會擁有各種各樣的食物。從海鮮到傳統美食再到美妙的燒烤，這裡有很多值得一遊的地方。要品嘗伯利茲最好的美食，只需看看當地的餐館和小吃攤即可。當地人真的知道什麼是好吃的食物。

中央海岸：

肉餡餅：伯利茲城是這種傳統伯利茲菜餚的熱點。問問當地人，他們會有一個最喜歡的地方來買他們的肉餡餅，以及一種久經考驗的吃法。肉餡餅是洋蔥，辣椒，肉和香料的美味組合，位於溫暖的外殼內。

米飯和豆類：通常用於搭配主菜，白米飯和紅芸豆在伯利茲最常見，也是該地區的特色菜。真正正宗的伯利茲晚餐會將這些品種中的任何一種與燉雞肉或炸雞搭配。

牛腳湯：對於在家中找不到的烹飪體驗，請嘗試中央海岸地區的牛腳湯。將牛蹄煮軟，與各種蔬菜、椰子調味料和胡椒混合。

Stewed Chicken: One of the most traditional Belizean dishes, stewed chicken is one that every visitor should experience. The secret to this delectable dish is to brown the chicken that’s been rubbed with an annatto paste called “recado,” and sprinkled with salt, pepper and garlic before adding water, a dash of vinegar, chopped onions and sweet peppers.

伯利茲北部：

Escabeche：這道菜巧妙地融合了來自梅斯蒂索，西班牙和瑪雅文化的風味，以及雞肉與醋，辣椒和其他香料中的洋蔥的辛辣組合。新鮮的玉米餅是用來補充這道菜的，這是通過將磨碎的整塊玉米與白酸橙和水混合而製成的。

Chimole Soup: Chimole, also known as “Black Dinner” is a tasty, black-colored soup with roots in Mayan and Mestizo cultures but enjoyed by all in Belize. This savory hearty soup made with the unique ingredient black recado is a local favorite.

伯利茲南部：

Cohune Cabbage: Cohune cabbage, made with hearts of palm flavored with yellow ginger (turmeric), is one not to be missed! This curried cabbage is at its best in the Southern towns of Belize.

北島：

海鮮：由於伯利茲優越的地理位置，海鮮豐富，品質上乘，幾乎可以在該國任何地方買到，但在島上是最新鮮的。海螺，蝦，魷魚，螃蟹湯，酸橘汁腌魚只是伯利茲功能表上的一些海鮮選擇。

Lobster: At the close of lobster season, which runs from February through July, several coastal towns including San Pedro on Ambergris Caye, Caye Caulker and Placencia host the world-renowned Lobster Fests. This celebration features live music and dancing along with the delicious catch of the season. The Lobster Fest is scheduled every year in June and attracts visitors from all over the globe to enjoy the wide array of lobster delicacies.

BELIZEAN BRANDS: Marie Sharp’s Hot Sauce: No dining table in the country is complete without a bottle of Marie Sharp’s Hot Sauce. An extremely distinctive element of Belizean dining, the original Marie Sharp’s sauce is made from a base of habanero peppers, carrots and onions. The brand now offers the pepper sauce in varying degrees of heat, from “mild” to “beware,” as well as jams and chutneys to go with any food or dish. Belikin: In Belize, no meal is truly complete unless it’s accompanied by the country’s national beer— an ice-cold Belikin. Produced by the Belize Brewing Company, this beer comes in varieties of stout, lager and premium. The original beer recipes came from the founding brew masters who all came to Belize from Germany. Since then, the beer has varied ever so slightly to give it a distinctly Belizean taste. Rum: The liquor of choice in Belize is rum. Five- year-aged Prestige rum is considered the best of the Belizean rums; other local favorites include 1 Barrel and Caribbean Gold Rum.
