Cuisine
The Paddle House is directly influenced by the surrounding Garifuna community, an indigenous people whose staple meals rely on fish, plantain, and root vegetables. In Belize, homage is paid to culture through food. Freshly caught snapper is paired with creamy coconut rice as flavors of the south inspire soulful decadence. Even with the sea calling, you’ll find inland classics and northern flavors to complete the menu.
