I look down at the menu of Hidden Treasure Restaurant and I always find it difficult to select my dinner. Should I have the amazing Almond Crusted Grouper that I loved so much last time, or should I go for something new? It was so delicious!
Decisions are the worst, although any choice at Hidden Treasure cannot be bad. With a menu filled with delicious Belizean delicacies, each dining experience is one to remember. Plus, nothing could be worse that sitting back in a relaxed and enchanting setting, sipping on a great Caribbean cocktail waiting for your dinner to arrive, RIGHT!?
That is what I love about Hidden Treasure, the atmosphere of the restaurant is much like an elegant patio setting where you feel taken away from the daily distractions and stress. Plus it’s comfy and homey; the tending staff is always making sure you are having a great dining experience.
It’s a family-run business with Mr. and Mrs. Ruben Muñoz at the helm of the operations, but you will always see them on the dining floor greeting customers and making sure everybody is being well attended. Their children are hosting customers, waiting tables and even bartending. They are all very friendly people that bring you into their home, you would say, and treat you like family.
Hidden Treasure is one of the most popular restaurants in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, Belize, hidden within the residential area of the Escalante Subdivision about two miles south of downtown San Pedro. The award-winning establishment of has made a name for itself on the island, one that delivers amazing food and an enchanting setting to enjoy it in.
I had to revisit the restaurant knowing that the bar was serving a delicious Snickers Colada; its rich, creamy – decadent. It is a sugary sweet, chocolate, caffeine fix you have to try. I also recommend the Conch Shrimp Ceviche as an appetizer and the Island Shrimp for the main course.
