Riverside Cafe is like going home from a long trip. The locals hand there, people that are going to Cayes or fishing gather there, MR. Egburt and Ms. Madeline are very gracious hosts. The food is always good.

Tried my first taste of garifuna cuisine at the riverside and it was fantastic. Tried two local soups, the deliciously sweet Hudut and the hearty bundiga. Also tried Madeline's house special fish fillet, cassava fries and rum, tomato and soy sauce. Madeline is also very helpful with information for travellers. She let me into the kitchen and we made a... More

We had great lobster there, as well as a good chicken burger, with cold beers. We were also told that this was the place where... More

Had a really good meal at the Riverside Cafe. The lady that runs it is super helfpul and friendly. The snapper that I had was one of my best meals in Belize. Definitely recommend eating here!

The food at Riverside is Belizean fare, but has continental fare accessible as well! The whole fried fish is the best, and don't miss out on the Cassava Fries. Everything is good!

Classic hangout close to the river. Catch the boats here for fishing or Tobacco Caye. Staff is nice and prices are good.
