Guava Limb Cafe a Refreshing Addition to San Ignacio | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

The Ambergris Today crew visited Cayo, and had only great things to say about the Guava Limb Cafe.  There's a reason it's number one on Trip Advisor.  Everything they have is superb.  Check out some of the perfect food pictures that Jose Luis Zapata captured.

 

"'Slim and Trim Like Guava Limb' is what describes the new Guava Limb Cafe which just recently opened its doors in August of last year in the town of San Ignacio, Cayo. It's a breath of fresh air to the up and coming ambiance and cuisine of the greater Cayo District.  Guava Limb Cafe serves up a fresh, healthy and high quality menu that emphasizes on coffee drinks, pastries, sandwiches, signature salads and desserts."

Royal Rat at Benny's

Royal Rat at Benny's | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Jose Luis Zapata was in town for a photo shoot at Xunantunich, and he was able to stop in Succotz at Benny's Kitchen to try some gibnut.  Benny's does it right!

 

"So if you are wondering why it is called 'Royal Rat' in Belize it is because the Paca or Gibnut is scientifically classified as a rodent and when the British media learnt that Queen Elizabeth was fed Gibnut, they headlined their newspapers, 'Queen Eats Rat.'  Here in Belize everyone took it lightly because we are cool like that and hence the dish was referred to as 'Royal Rat.'  So remember to ask for and try our famous 'Royal Rat' if you haven’t.  It is truly a Belizean delicacy"

Cayo was well represented at the Belize Fashion Week in San Pedro.  Joris Hendrik and Gabriela Berrera, with her Add!ction line,  were there to show off their designs.  Jose Luis Zapata was on hand capturing the magic of the catwalk.  And is it just a coincidence that the catwalk is in the shape of a 'J' as in Joris?

 

"An excellent Fashion Show at Fido's Courtyard featuring local and intenational models and designers.  Feel free to share the photos.  Enjoy!  :~))"
