While Thanksgiving is not an official holiday in Belize, the spirit of gratitude and celebration resonates strongly here on Ambergris Caye. Each year, a mix of locals, expats and tourists gather to honor this special occasion. Many local restaurants embrace the holiday by offering an array of Thanksgiving dishes both traditional and with creative island twists and this year is no exception.
I have compiled a list of thanksgiving menus shared by some of the most loved restaurants to make sure you don’t miss out on a Thanksgiving feast on la Isla Bonita this year.

Don’t forget to make reservations! I’ll leave the tough decisions up to you, but whether you decide on an ocean view with a side of Turkey, a festive spot with live music or a place “where something good is always cooking,” may your day be filled with joy and gratitude, surrounded by people you love.
