We had breakfast here - the decor is nothing to write home about, but the food is excellent! I've had Fryjacks all over Belize, as this was my 6th trip, but these are the lightest and crispiest I've ever had. Amazing! Worth going for, just to eat a fryjack with mango or pineapple jelly!

The food is freshly cooked and prepared really well! Dawn's is a great place for breakfast or lunch and is located right on the main road. They also make their own homemade pepper sauces, which you can purchase. Great food and friendly people.

My wife, daughter and I ate here with some and let me tell you, it was great. I had a veggie omelet with a side of sausage. And also had some watermelon juice and fresh fruit on the side. Everything was super fresh and tasty and the people there are really kind and friendly. I will be going back next... More

Ate lunch at Dawn's today, had the fish tacos, fresh squeezed OJ & bread pudding with rum sauce for dessert. In addition to the food being great and relatively inexpensive, what made it even better was that Dawn herself came to our table. She spent quite some time explaining the menu and all the specials that were available. It's a... More

Simply put the best breakfast we had in our 18 days in Belize. We only ate here once though. We considered it for supper but the menu is small (this is good as it likely means they make a few things well and make it fresh), but my wife is picky and did not see anything that interested her. I... More

This was one of the best meals we've had in Placencia. We had conch ceviche, conch steak and the whole grilled snapper. The beer is the coldest! We met Dawn and she was very nice. Eat here and don't get ripped off by the ex-pats' restaurants.

We ate here for breakfast and loved it. Wonderful atmosphere on the village street, with comfortable tables and chairs and plenty of fans! Very good coffee. Had the veggie omelette and it was quite tasty. They also had very fresh papaya and mango! My husband really enjoyed his fry jacks too. Good value here - not as expensive as many... More

We stumbled on Dawns due to the fish taco special they had written on the outside board. Unlike many coastal towns abundant with such tacos, placencia does not seem to have many. We were so pleased when ice was not necessary with our beer. The beer was already ice cold, which is a rarity. The fish tacos were among the... More
