El Fogon means 'The Fire Hearth'. They specialize in Belizean food cooked the old fashioned way, with firewood in the open. It is their intention to preserve their Belizean culture and give a little taste to their visitors far and wide. It is a joy for them to serve you great Belizean cuisine. They offer restaurant specials everyday and are proud winners of the 2016 Lobster Fest in Ambergris Caye, Belize.

The restaurant was founded by the Arceo-Eiley family in the early 2000’s. Growing up in a beautiful island of Ambergris Caye, “La Isla Bonita”, witnessing all the developing changes, the Arceo-Eiley family wanted to maintain and preserve the authenticity of their childhood upbringing.

One of Belize’s household necessities was and for some still is El Fogon Restaurant. Before, “El Fogon” meant the only form of energy in a household; from lighting at night, to warm water for cooking, bathing and was also a form of heating and comfort on a stormy season.

El Fogo” today is a fire pit/firewood stove used for cooking everything from Stews, Soups and lots of popular game meats. El Fogon Restaurant offers lots of traditional Belizean dishes that has been in local Belizean’s diet for decades. Up to today, more than half of Belize’s population owns, uses and enjoy cooking, stewing and grilling on a “Fogon”.
