Post-Carnaval Fuel: March Flavors at Red Ginger
As the final comparsas dancers finish their routines and the Carnaval paint is washed away, San Pedro settles into its most beautiful rhythm of the year. At Red Ginger, we are shifting our focus from the festival frenzy to the serene, sun-drenched days of March. This month is about more than just the weather; it is about "Slow Travel" and savoring the freshest ingredients that the Belizean dry season has to offer.
The Captain’s Choice: From Reef to Table
March brings the clearest waters of the year to the Belize Barrier Reef, making it a favorite month for our friends like Captain Oliver to lead excursions out to the flats. After a morning spent under the Caribbean sun, there is no better tradition than docking the boat and walking over to Front Street for a refreshing lunch. Our menu is designed to replenish and delight, featuring citrus-forward ceviches that mirror the clarity of the sea.
Our inspiration: Captain Oliver navigating the clear March waters before heading back to Front Street for a fresh catch lunch.
