Belize: Chateau Caribbean (March 2003)

Located within the Fort area of Belize City, at the corner of Marine Parade and South Park Street, Chateau Caribbean offers impeccable service and an elegant atmosphere. The restaurant is located on the seafront in Belize City, a 5-minute walk from Baron Bliss Lighthouse and the Museum of Belize. The breezy Fort George seaside location of this hotel is its strongest point. Behind the charming colonial-style exterior (it was formerly a hospital), this well-located hotel is a prime property in Belize City. Some scenes in the 1980 movie The Dogs of War were filmed here. The second-floor restaurant has sea views, and a menu with an unusual combination of Chinese and Caribbean dishes: you can have grilled snapper with rice and beans while your dining companion tries the sweet-and-sour pork.
