Are you an NCL cruise ship passenger heading to Belize? If so, your port of call will be Harvest Caye, a small island located just off the coast of mainland Belize. If you’re ready to try some delicious, authentic Belizean cuisine, there’s simply no better restaurant than the Quarterdeck Restaurant and Bar located in Placencia.
Placencia is not an island, but it certainly feels like one thanks to its beautiful beaches and the very narrow strip of land that connects it to the mainland. Every day, there is a regular ferry service from Harvest Caye to Placencia, making Placencia a top destination for cruise ship passengers visiting Belize.
The ferry docks at Placencia Village which is just a few minutes drive from the finest restaurant in Belize. The Quarterdeck Restaurant and Bar is located on the grounds of the luxurious Laru Beya Resort, a member of TripAdvisor’s Hall of Fame thanks to its outstanding customer service.
The Quarterdeck’s comprehensive menu features fresh, locally sourced ingredients made with care by an award-winning chef. The restaurant specializes in Mexican, Italian, and Caribbean cuisines as well as authentic Belizean favorites. Whether it’s homemade bread baked daily, fresh-squeezed tropical fruits, or fish, lobster, and conch caught right in the waters of Belize, the Quarterdeck Restaurant only serves dishes made from the finest ingredients.
Popular Belizean dishes include Caribbean staples like rice and beans (often served with chicken) as well as fry jacks, small, delightfully soft triangles of bread that are eaten at breakfast. Other Belizean treats include local twists on the Mexican classics of tamales and escabeche soup. And for dessert, there’s simply nothing more authentically Belizean than a seaweed milkshake (with a splash of rum for the adults).
The Quarterdeck is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Each dish can be made to accommodate special dietary restrictions such as gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan.
The Quarterdeck Restaurant and Bar also specializes in innovative and delicious cocktails. There is a daily happy hour with reduced prices. The bar also serves beer, wine, and a bevy of tropical drinks made with local rums and fruit juices.
If you’re a hungry NCL cruise ship passenger visiting Harvest Caye on your vacation, be sure to visit the Quarterdeck Restaurant and Bar located at the Laru Beya Resort in Placencia!
