Dining at Lionfish Bar & Grill is more than just a meal—it’s a highlight of the Ray Caye experience. Set against the backdrop of turquoise waters and golden sunsets, our open-air restaurant consistently earns praise from both overnight guests and day trippers for its fresh flavors, creative menus, and relaxed island vibe.

Yes, we serve fine dining on a private island—and we do it exceptionally well.

Our talented culinary team creates bold, seasonal dishes inspired by Belizean traditions and global flavors, using the freshest local ingredients available. From the day’s catch to tropical fruits and handpicked herbs from our island garden, every plate is a thoughtful balance of flavor, freshness, and flair.

A New Dinner Experience Each Night

Dinner at Lionfish Grill is designed to surprise and delight. Each night, the chef crafts a new selection of thoughtfully curated starters, mains, and desserts. No two evenings are the same—so even if you’re staying a week, your taste buds will always have something to look forward to.

Fresh from Our  Garden – Grown Steps from Your Table

At Ray Caye, we believe the best meals start with the best ingredients—many of which are grown right here on the island. Tucked into a sunny corner of our private paradise, our organic garden is a quiet yet essential part of the Ray Caye experience.

Managed with care by our team, the garden is a thriving source of herbs and vegetables that go straight into the kitchen at Lionfish Bar & Grill. From crisp cucumbers and juicy tomatoes to fragrant basil, mint, cilantro, and leafy greens like spinach and Bok Choy, our garden helps keep our dishes as fresh and flavorful as the island breeze.

Guests are always welcome to stop by and admire the lush greenery—just one more reminder that at Ray Caye, every detail is rooted in sustainability and crafted with love.
