Restaurante Laguna, in Depth

Permanently closed. Restaurante Laguna no longer operates under that name.

What It Was

Restaurante Laguna sat on the lagoon side of Umaya Resort & Adventures in Maya Beach, on the Placencia Peninsula, serving a fusion of Belizean and international flavors. Reviewers came back to a few things in particular: the lagoon views with the Maya Mountains on the horizon, the breakfast fry jacks, and the catch-of-the-day seafood. As of December 2025 the restaurant was renamed and rebranded as Casa de Maíz, a Mexican-street-food and Mayan-tradition-inspired restaurant at the same Umaya Resort location, ending its operation under the Restaurante Laguna name.

If you are still exploring the peninsula, the rest of our Belize town guides can point you to tables that are open.
