Coleman's Café

Southern Belize


Something of an institution for travelers driving the Southern Hwy, Coleman's offers a self-serve lunch buffet with three or four dishes plus rice, beans and salad. Pile up your plate! Dinner is by reservation and you can also get beer, soft drinks and local chocolate. It's signposted off the highway north of Big Falls.
