If you’ve ever craved a taste of Belize, home to the most succulent, freshly-caught seafood, then hold on to your taste buds.
Contrary to the well-trodden belief that the best lobsters are to be savored only along the Belizean coast, the culinary landscape in the country’s verdant interior tells a different, equally tantalizing story.
At the heart of it all is the Running W Restaurant, nestled within the San Ignacio Resort Hotel, where you can savor the flavors of the Caribbean Sea without stepping foot on the beach.
Located in the charming town of San Ignacio, known for its vibrant local culture, rich history, and proximity to some of Belize’s most spectacular natural attractions, the resort is a beloved hub for travelers.
The Running W Restaurant only adds to the appeal, offering truly world-class dining with amazing views of the Belize rainforest.
The menu at Running W Restaurant is a delightful marriage of local traditions and contemporary culinary innovations.
The lobster, of course, is a prime example. Brought in fresh from the coast by local fishermen committed to sustainable practices, this delicacy is carefully prepared to make sure each dish captures the essence of Belizean cuisine.
Head Chef at Running W, a maestro of flavor, masterfully crafts the lobster in various ways. You might enjoy it grilled, lightly seasoned to let the natural sweetness shine through.
Or perhaps you’ll savor a rich, creamy lobster bisque, capturing the depth of flavors that only comes from the freshest catch. Those who love a bit of heat might opt for the Belizean-style lobster, tossed in a blend of local spices that add an unforgettable kick.
The restaurant sources its ingredients from local producers, ensuring a farm-to-table experience that is as sustainable as it is delicious. And the lobster isn’t the only star of the menu.
The Running W Restaurant boasts a diverse menu including prime steaks, the freshest salads using organic, locally-grown vegetables, and a range of other Belizean delicacies.
But it’s not just the food that makes the Running W Restaurant such a gem in San Ignacio. The dining experience extends beyond the plate.
Set in an elegant open-air space, the restaurant overlooks the verdant surroundings of the hotel, offering a breathtaking view that takes al fresco dining to a whole new level.
Sip on a cocktail made with local spirits as you listen to the calls of exotic birds from the nearby jungle, turning a simple meal into a sensory adventure.
The Running W Restaurant is also deeply committed to the local community. It provides job opportunities to the residents of San Ignacio, encourages sustainable fishing practices, and actively participates in community development programs.
This ethos of sustainability and community involvement enhances the dining experience, allowing guests to savor not just the delicious fare, but also the sense of connection to the place and its people.
So next time you’re craving a Belizean culinary journey, don’t limit yourself to the coast. Head inland to the San Ignacio Resort Hotel and dine at the Running W Restaurant.
Here, you’ll discover that the taste of Belize extends far beyond the beach, reaching into the heart of the country and delivering a dining experience that’s truly unforgettable.
