First Table at Akasha: Be Among the First to Taste Our New Menu

A new chapter at Akasha begins at the table.

On October 3, 2026, Akasha Restaurant & Lounge will host First Table, a special preview dinner offering guests the first opportunity to experience the restaurant’s new menu.

Following its September seasonal pause, Akasha returns with a renewed culinary direction: rooted in Belize, inspired by the Caribbean Sea, and reimagined through a contemporary culinary lens.

The result is a menu that brings together local ingredients, coastal flavors, tropical influences, and modern techniques while staying connected to the character of Belize.

A First Taste of What’s New

The new menu introduces a range of dishes created around fresh, vibrant flavors.

The Akasha Shrimp Ceviche combines shrimp, green mango, cucumber, red onion, cilantro, citrus, and Caribbean chile for a bright start to the meal.

For a taste of the sea, the Local Catch Tiradito pairs fresh fish with coconut leche de tigre, passion fruit, mild chile, green herb oil, and cassava crisp.

Other new creations include Seared Tuna & Cacao Mole, featuring local cacao alongside seared tuna and charred cauliflower purée, and Grilled Octopus, served with sweet potato purée and cilantro-lime chimichurri.

And for dessert, Isla Bonita brings together date cake, vanilla ice cream, cardamom crumble, toasted coconut, and caramel sauce in a creation inspired by the spirit of Ambergris Caye.

A New Perspective on Belizean Flavors

The new menu is an exploration of Belize through a contemporary culinary perspective.

Rather than simply recreating traditional dishes, Akasha draws inspiration from the ingredients, flavors, culture, and coastal environment that make Belize unique.

Seafood, tropical produce, local cacao, fresh herbs, citrus, spices, and other ingredients come together across the menu, creating a dining experience that feels connected to the destination while remaining distinctly Akasha.

This approach makes the new menu a natural part of the evolving dining in Belize experience in San Pedro.

Why First Table?

First Table is more than a menu launch.

It is the opportunity to experience the new Akasha before the rest of the season unfolds.

Guests will be among the first to discover the new dishes, the new combinations, and the direction the restaurant is taking for the months ahead.

For returning guests, it is a chance to discover something new.

For first-time visitors, it is an opportunity to experience Akasha at the beginning of an exciting new chapter.

A New Chapter at Akasha

While the menu is evolving, the essence of the Akasha experience remains: thoughtful food, warm hospitality, an inviting atmosphere, and a setting that makes dinner feel like part of the Belize experience.

Whether you are visiting San Pedro or staying at Aruna Resort & Villas, Akasha offers a place to slow down, gather around the table, and discover a different side of Belize through food.

First Table marks the beginning.

The new menu will continue throughout the season, giving guests plenty of opportunities to come back, discover new favorites, and experience what Akasha has created for this next chapter.
