Our Menu Concept

Our menu is a culinary journey where the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean meet the bold, exotic tastes of the Caribbean, all served in the relaxed luxury of our beachfront setting. Our menu celebrates the perfect fusion of these two cuisines, blending Mediterranean freshness — think sun-drenched vegetables, delicate seafood, and fragrant herbs — with the bold spices and tropical ingredients of the Caribbean. 

Indulge in dishes that marry the best of both worlds, from grilled seafood drizzled in citrus-infused oils to perfectly spiced meats paired with Mediterranean grains and local produce, all sourced from various regions of Belize. Our signature Tuscan skillet dishes bring together rustic elegance with sizzling, savory combinations crafted from the freshest local ingredients and cooked to perfection.

What a little gem we found last minute on our last night in town. Have been to Hopkins many times, but never knew this place existed. We found out why… They’ve only been open a few months, but this is an amazing, upscale restaurant in north Hopkins, where the food and atmosphere is fantastic

We had a wonderful dinner at Embers. Service was exceptional and the food was amazing. I had the filet mignon which was cooked to perfection. My husband’s Osso Bucco was huge! It’s not easy to find, there wasn’t any signage. Just look for the Sieri Del Mar Resort and it’s on the right. Beautiful location on the beach!

We stumbled upon Embers while on a beach stroll. We walked over and spoke to a lovely young man, DeuJon, who is a server at the restaurant. After taking a peek at the menu, we proposed to our group to go for dinner. Let me tell you...don't hesitate! The food was amazing! Presentation was creative and beautiful! And the best part is the prices are very reasonable!!! We highly recommend Embers. They are a relatively new restaurant, but they are 100% on point. The servers are so polite, knowledgeable, and professional. The drinks were delicious, and the food....OH THE FOOD....PERFECTION!! During our stay at Hopkins Bay, we dined there 4 times. Twice for dinner and twice for lunch. All times were excellent.

You have to visit this restaurant when you’re in Hopkins. The building and location are beautiful; you can literally gaze out at the ocean while enjoying your meal on the patio…amazing vibes. My husband had the Caesar salad and they prepare it right at your table; pretty cool show! Also highly recommend the seafood ceviche and the cucumber jalapeño margarita. We will definitely be back.
