Restaurant | Bar | Lounge

The Paddle House

Beachfront dining at its best.

This captivating setup is only a glimpse of what’s to come at The Paddle House. You’ll find excellence in every detail. From its towering thatched palapa roof to the twinkling rattan basket lights, even the walls decorated with wooden paddles and wicker art tell a story.

Chef Rahim is known for his contemporary Belizean cuisine. With ingredients straight from the area, every plate bursts with flavor. Dive into a diverse foodscape. From mouthwatering seafood and full-flavored meat to piquant plant-based cuisine.

Start your day with breakfast as the sun rises. Catch up over lunch. Enjoy cocktails at the Infusion Bar, and have a succulent dinner beachside.

Cuisine

The Paddle House is inspired by the surrounding Garifuna community, whose staple meals consist of fish, plantain, and root vegetables. In Belize, homage is paid to culture through food.

Try out a local dish like the Garifuna Sere. Golden fried bites of fish fillet in our crema de yucca and coconut soup topped with sweet potato crisps. Or the Craboo Beef Tenderloin. Perfectly grilled beef tenderloin dressed in Chef Rahim’s signature craboo glaze on a bed of roasted sweet potato mash and coconut oil-perfumed vegetables, topped with crispy onion rings.

Even with the sea calling, you’ll find inland classics and northern flavors to complete the menu.
