About Wish Willy, the restaurant

Wish Willy Bar & Grill is one of the most unique restaurants on the island of Caye Caulker.
Located a little bit of the beaten track at the north end of the island (near The Split) it's a perfect
place to relax, listen to some good music (not alway s reggae, but also jazz, blues and
sometimes live drumming), have a chat with other guests and of course enjoy a delicious meal.
The restaurant consists of a couple of tables and (homemade) chairs placed at random in the
yard of Wish Willy. There's no menu but the chef himself will tell you what's available that day and
cooks you a fancy dinner. What to think of grilled lobster with ginger butter sauce, stirfried conch
teriyaki style, shrimp with Thai noodles with spicy sweet & sour sauce or a whole grilled fish with
coconut lime spring. But it's not only fresh seafood that you can get. There's also BBQ or Jerk
chicken (with the famous homemade jerk sauce), grilled porkchops and sometimes even roast
lamb and even the vegetarians wil go home with their belly filled.

About Wish Willy, the chef

Wish Willy, a.k.a. Maurice Moore, is a cool, tall rasta guy. Born in Belize and raised in Chicago,
USA, where he became a chef. In the late 90''s he decided to go back to his roots and started his
restaurant Wish Willy on Caye Caulker. He didn't have a smooth start, because the first year
Hurricane Mitch destroyed almost his complete restaurant. But he moved on and now he has
one of the most popular restaurants on the island and is well known all over the place, the
country of Belize and even when he is in Europe, people recognize him. When you come for
dinner to Wish Willy, Maurice will certainly take care of you having a good time; either with his
neverending stories or his tasteful food.
