The Shak Beach Cafe

Perfect lowkey breakfast spot on the beach (breakfast served til 6pm!) and dozens of smoothie choices. Affordable hearty meals. Get the fry jacks!

Best place to hang out and have some drinks. One side of the menu is for smoothies, the other for alcoholic beverages. The food was amazing and our waiter was intriguing. Not in much of a hurry but that's okay considering our view!

An amazing family owned restaurant that is relaxed with water views. You can swing on the swings and this place has a very welcoming vibe. The staff were very friendly and gracious. I had the veggie quesadilla and it was delicious! Definitely worth checking out if you are in the downtown Placencia area.

Great selection of fresh juices and smoothies. I tried several over the week and they were all delicious. The conch & shrimp ceviche was the best you could order in placencia, I love the homemade chips. The smoked fish tacos were fantastic and fresh and the garlic mayo was so good also. Our server N.J. always greeted us with a smile and made the meal even better with his positive and happy personality!

Was looking for a place with solid food nearby our scuba dive center. We found the shak beach cafe and it exceeded our expectations! The staff was amazing and our waitress was fantastic. We ate breakfast items at lunch and it hit the spot. My eggs were prepared perfectly and the omelette was delicious too. We also added the stuff jack and I am so glad we did…never had a fryjack or stuffjack until that day. I fell in love with it! Was so delicious, I wan to come back to Belize just to eat more of these. If you’re hungry and in the area, this place is a great option. I highly recommend it for breakfast or lunch!

Wow! Great location right on the water by the Municipal Pier. Great service, very prompt and friendly. Good drinks and good prices. Your visit to Placencia is not complete without a stop here. They have a huge menu of smoothies that were absolutely delicious. Ice cold drink with fresh fruit for less than $5, heaven. We sat on the beach, enjoyed drinks and a snack. It was a perfect Father's Day.

We tried The Shak for breakfast, opting to sit at the outdoor tables in the sand. The restaurant is right next to the pier and harbor. The fresh guava juice was flavorful. We had The Works with scrambled eggs, bacon, beans, and fry jacks. The food was good, but lacked the flavor that we’ve had at other places. We needed to add salt and pepper, and that’s not common for us in Belize. The menu we found online was not accurate, so I’m including a photo of the breakfast menu here. The staff was friendly, but did not check on us after delivering the food, and they only offered jam for our fry jacks as we were paying the bill. Free parking is available in the lot by the pier.
