This is a great little place off the beaten path. Don't let the surroundings deter you. The food is excellent. You have to go up a couple flights of stairs that are sturdy to the roof top. There you have a few of the western horizon. We were the only ones there on our visit. The waitress (Sasha) took great... More

Out of the way and a surprise view of the other side of the Caye. Really could go back here to eat. Food not spectacular but none of the food in Belize is. Careful if ordering the jerk chicken. It was very salty but I think that that is how it usually is. Don't bother with the conch fritters. The... More

So we were told to go to The Little Kitchen one night for dinner. We were on the look out for authentic local food. I have to say that I was disappointed with the food. We tried several things and none of them really had any flavor, it was just bland. Did I mention that the prices were pretty high.... More

The first thing anyone who's visited The Little Kitchen will tell you is "the place doesn't look like much, but the food is definitely worth it." So true. Follow the signs to the back of the Caye, climb the steps to the third floor, and choose a seat with a good view of the water. We enjoyed the food so... More

The Little Kitchen is one of those local endeavors that we are drawn to but may not be for everyone. (But those folks will be missing out on some great food and a unique 3 story view of the island!) Follow the signs and climb the stairs and enjoy the food and the view and the rum punch!

The chicken starter we had was delicious and the lobster for main was perfectly cooked and easy to eat. The service is relaxed and quite slow but that was fine. Wear mozzie spray as they love it there. Food was cheap and delicious. It is a quite hidden and out of the way so ask someone for good directions.

If you have patience to wait when they are busy, you can have a nice little meal. I believe it is a mother/daughter combo who run the entire operation. Our group all had seafood and fish choices which were very good.

Loved sitting on the roof watching the full moon rise in the night sky, eating lobster tails. Excellent food, nice staff, good value. Don't be late if it's busy you'll wait.

To start, get off the beaten path, then climb up 2 flights up of an unassuming wooden house to finally land into home-cooking heaven. Fish empanadas and Creole lobster were so good that I HAD to come back the following day. Not to mention the delicious home baked bread that cries for a dip into the creole sauce. They also... More
