Very good vegan options

There aren't many choices in San Pedro, so to have a fine restaurant with a separate vegan menu is a gift. I went 3 days in a row. The curry is fantastic and I tried 2 of the wraps, which were also excellent. Delightful option!

Nice spot, vegan menu

This is a nice historic spot with sand floor and a/c. It’s popular so reserve when you want to go.
I had the coconut ceviche (meh) and the buffalo cauliflower bites- wanted the wrap but they were not offering them the night I went.
The coconut lime mojitos were delicious!

Pros: Drinks, Ambience, Vegan menu

Cons: Coconut cerviche , Server not super friendly, $$

The best curry!

This is a busy place, but with delicious food! They have a vegan menu, but you have to ask for it. And some of the items are lunch and some are dinner and they don’t label which are available when. Just ask what they have. We started with vegan ceviche made with coconut meat, peppers, onions, and corn chips. My kids devoured this!

I ordered the vegan curry, my kids had the beetroot pasta with corn salad. They finished everything, and the curry was the best I’ve tried. It was a sweeter curry with banana and raisins in it - you have to try it to understand how delicious this combo is.

These were really unique dishes and really well done. The service was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. More high end service than most places here. The food was timed perfectly. I braced for a long wait after previous reviews, but it was quite quick.

Vegan curry

It's a very popular place so you need to expect longer waiting times, a waiting list, and high prices.

🍛I had a vegan veggie curry and it was incredible!! The rice it came with was heavenly, so we even asked for an extra serving of rice on the side, it was a great choice because we enjoyed this dish so much! So many different vegetables, the perfect seasoning, highly highly recommended!
The rice comes with fried banana on the side.

🥗For the not so good part- we shared the Elvi's Salad, it was very very small, it definitely doesn't count as a main dish if that's the only thing you're planning on having, and it's also very small for sharing. Mostly a lot of leaves, barley any tomato, cucumber or carrot, and when we splited the salad it fitted in the small banana bread plates we were given which says a lot... In the picture you can see half of the salad in the small plate. I would really recommend skipping this dish. Keep in mind that if you're planning on still getting it you need to order it without the cheese and the vinaigrette dressing to make it vegan.

As mentioned, the prices are a bit high, it's worth it for sure when it comes to the curry, but I might skip a first dish here.

Had tacos and coconut curry - both pretty good!

Food and service good, but the place was pretty packed and everything took a while even by island time standards. Also a bit expensive but it’s one of the nicer places in San Pedro

Pros: Food good, Service

Cons: Speed of food, Cost

Nice option in town. Curry!

The curry was so creamy and delicious. Elvi’s is a great option if you’re in town— a couple of entrees on the menu were vegan or could be made vegan. Try the coconut curry and veggies over rice— so smooth and flavorful.

Pros: Central in San Pedro,, vegan options.

Cons: Some entrees a bit expensive,, but that’s expected on the island.

Great Staff and Food

When I went here a couple months back I really enjoyed the food. It was like eating a delicious home cooked meal! I’d definitely recommend stopping here especially if you are craving something a little on the healthier side!

Delicious food. Great ambiance. Vegetarian Menu.

Delicious food. Great ambiance. Live music. Good vegan options. My husband and I split the quinoa and avocado salad. It was delicious! They were out of avocados so they gave us guacamole on the side to add to our salad. Lots of veggies in the salad. Dressing is amazing! We also had a vegetable curry. Is super creamy and very flavorful. It has a sweet flavor with raisins and fried ripe plantains on top.

This place was so good we came here THREE times!

We love Elvi's! It was so nice to find a place that actually had a separate vegetarian/vegan menu. This place is great for large groups or just the two of you. The space is awesome with sand floors and really cool art. They have an awesome drink list too. We ordered the bean & gauc burrito is well as the veggie tacos. The stewed beans are also amazing! This is a must visit if you are in San Pedro!

Pros: Vegan/Vegetarian Friendly, Great atmosphere, Friendly staff

Great curry and salad

This has to be the best veggie curry in Belize. Nice atmosphere, with sand floors and a tree with lights inside. The quinoa and avocado salad is great with beets and pomegranate.

Cons: Spendy, Tax not included

Full vegetarian menu

They have a separate veg menu with a lot of vegan and lacto-ovo options. We had a vegetable curry with raisins, plantains, and coconut rice and the fried tacos and loved them both. Started with the grilled street corn on the regular menu. A little expensive but a treat to eat great Belizean food with so many vegetarian options.
