39 Ambergris Caye Restaurants Open All Season + 18 Low Season Closures

Since my first list of 32 open all-season and 13 closures was well received, and only a drop in the bucket, I decided to go for round two. My goal was to surpass that for list number two. This time I found you 39 more restaurants that are open all season and 17 that are doing some sort of seasonal closure. To see the first list click through on Who’s Open All Season 2019 on Ambergris Caye + a Few Closures. If I missed your business and you want people to know your seasonal schedule please email me at tacogirlbelize.
