Warrie Head Restaurant

Warrie Head Restaurant sits on the edge of a 639‑acre jungle reserve in Ontario Village, Belize, just off the Western Highway. Guests arrive to a thatched‑roof pavilion overlooking a crystal‑clear creek, where the scent of tropical flowers mingles with the sizzle of the kitchen. The menu is curated by Chef Maya Torres, who blends traditional Belizean recipes with modern techniques. Signature dishes include grilled lobster with lime‑coconut butter, black bean and plantain stew, and the famed “Jungle Plate” featuring fresh catch of the day, cassava mash, and a side of sautéed okra. Breakfast lovers can enjoy Belizean fry‑jacks, fresh fruit smoothies, and a hearty conch chowder. The restaurant operates daily from 8 am to 8 pm, with a moderate price range of $15‑30 per entree. Inside, reclaimed wood tables and woven hammocks create a relaxed, eco‑friendly atmosphere; large windows frame views of howler monkeys and colorful toucans flitting among the canopy. Free Wi‑Fi, a bar serving local rum cocktails, and a small market stall offering tropical fruits complete the experience. Whether you’re staying at the resort, on a day‑trip, or attending a wedding event, Warrie Head Restaurant promises a memorable taste of Belize’s rainforest cuisine, attentive service from owners Debbie and Blair, and a chance to unwind after a day of bird‑watching, hiking, or zip‑lining.
