We kept coming back here for excellent food and super friendly service. The menu is very eclectic with awesome fusions of flavor. I'd expect to pay much more for an experience of this caliber. A very unexpected oasis in Placencia! more

Beautiful retreat off the main street in town. Wonderful service - loved that they would always give you reading material. Had breakfast here twice. Both excellent. Their yellow hot sauce was very delicious - not too hot, but nice and spicy with the crepes. more

We ate breakfast here because the Purple Space Monkey was closed and it's owner recommended this place. The coffee was wonderful. and the owners had just made a batch of homemade guava jelly, one of the best things we have ever tasted. Next time I want to try their spa services! more

We spent 3 weeks in this quaint little town. On a recommendation from our hotel we made our way to the friendliest staff, fantastic cocktails, and delicious dinners. We got to know Brad, Erin, and Jody quite well by the end of our trip. We were customizing drinks and telling Erin " just get the chef to whip something up... more

What can I say? On our first night in Placencia, we happened upon this beautiful restaurant in a garden setting, and we came back 2 more times during our stay! This is not typical for us, as we usually like to try as many different experiences as possible during a trip. From our first visit, owners Erin and Jodie made... more

During our (too) brief a stay in Placencia, where it rained a little too much and we dived much too little, we discovered The Secret Garden run by Erin & Jodie. In a gorgeous setting behind a couple of other shops and restaurants, they serve fabulous home cooked food. The style is difficult to describe; a mixture of Italian (with... more

Tucked away off the main road in Placencia Village and just past Wallen's Hardware is this find of a restaurant! Canadian ex-pats Erin, Jodie, and Brad know how to run a restaurant and it shows. They use only fresh ingredients and the menu changes every other day so go back often! The $28 (BZ) 2-course menu is the best value... more

We had the most amazing time at Secret Garden. This was the best food we had in Placencia and it was an incredible deal. We loved getting to know the owners, Erin and Jode. The setting was awesome and we can't wait to come back on our next trip! more

Though slightly hidden off the road, the Secret Garden truly stands out as one of Placencia's finest eateries. The food is consistent and delicious, with first world presentation in a lush tropical paradise setting. Above and beyond the great food and romantic atmosphere is the spectacular service. Canadian hosts and proprietors Jodie and Erin not only welcome you to their... more

We had the BEST experience at Secret Garden, better than any other restaurant experience we had in Belize! First and foremost the food was amazing, and the setting was gorgeous and perfect. We had dinner at the Garden, and it was so reasonably priced!! What made the experience, though, were the owners, Erin and Jodie. They were just fabulous, warm,... more
