About Maxie's Restaurant and Lounge

About

Maxie's is a local favourite in Placencia, the kind of spot that does not need to advertise because the regulars keep coming back. The menu is built around fresh seafood, grilled fish, rice and beans, and cold Belikins. The fish comes from local boats and the kitchen keeps it simple, which is the right call when the ingredients are this good.

Vibe

Unpretentious and easy. The lounge side picks up in the evenings, with a relaxed bar crowd and occasional live music. It is a good place to end a day on the water. Cash is preferred and the atmosphere is the kind that makes you stay longer than you planned.

Menu & Drinks

Grilled fish, rice and beans, and fresh seafood are the core of the menu. The kitchen works with what the local boats bring in, so the daily catch varies. Cold Belikins are always available, and the bar keeps things simple and cold.

Local Tips

  • Cash is preferred.
  • Go in the evening for the lounge atmosphere and occasional live music.
  • Ask what the catch of the day is before ordering.
  • An easy walk from most Placencia Village properties.
