Belizean Dreams Resort: Taste the Best of Hopkins Belize

Belize’s burgeoning food scene isn’t limited to island hot spots. The nation’s smaller villages are developing personalities of their own, and Hopkins has been quietly grabbing attention for its growing list of unique eateries. To fully indulge your passion for local cuisine, relax. There is no such thing as formality when you treat your taste buds to Hopkins’ amazing mix of dining and snacking options. Bring your appetite, your sense of adventure, and your curiosity. It helps to book a home base, so your tasting expedition has a focal point, and Belizean Dreams Resort in Hopkins is a great place to roost while you fill your tummy with local cuisine.

1. A giant thatched roof sets the stage for casual dining at the Driftwood Beach Bar & Pizza Shack. Open between 11 a.m. and either 10 p.m. or 11 p.m. every day but Wednesday, the Driftwood is located on the north side of Hopkins Village, directly on the beach, offering mouth-watering versions of signature pizza, burgers, fish and chips, tacos, barbecue specialties, Belizean favorites and more. Don’t visit this eatery’s website on an empty stomach: https://www.facebook.com/people/Driftwood-Beach-Bar-Pizza-Shack/100063672576848/!
2. When only dessert will do, creamy delights await at N’Ice Cream, located on Hopkins’ south seafront. Order flavors you won’t find at home from noon to 9 p.m. (They're closed on Monday and Tuesday). Vegans and vegetarians rave about dessert options, and unabashed fans are especially opinionated: “We’ve gone twice in two days and we’re going again tomorrow.” If ice cream isn’t your thing, there's chocolate cake, brownies, cheesecake, or non-dairy treats.
