After working in the tourism industry, Joan Lambey, or Mama G, as she is affectionately known, decided to open her own business. It started off as a small fast food restaurant selling things like garnaches and panades. Today, Tugucina Gloria is a champion for Garifuna culture and serves both international and authentic Garifuna cuisine.
Joan Gloria Lambey was born in the beautiful coastal village of Hopkins on March 28, 1964, to mother Angela Guitterez and her father Alexander Lambey. Her Late uncle, the Great Pablo Lambey, was a Garifuna activist and legend.
EXPERIENCE THE VIBRANT CULTURE AND FLAVORS OF THE GARIFUNA BY BOOKING A GARIFUNA COOKING CLASS WITH US.
``We did a cooking course in Hopkins with Chef Gloria and not only fell in love with the food, but her and her family as well. It was a fantastic hands on experience and the Garifuna speciality Hudut was fantastic!``
``...she graciously welcomed us and made a place for us, and then we had some of the best fish we’ve had in Belize. It was such an interesting experience and so good! Our brief interactions with her left me feeling like a good mom hug.``
``We heard that Gloria won ``A Taste of Belize`` twice and was chosen to cook for Prince William & Princess Kate when they visited Belize. We had high expectations and were not disappointed when we were served Hudut, a traditional coconut fish soup with mashed plantain. An exceptional lunch. `{`...`}` Highly recommended.``
Had a wonderful experience with Gloria and her fabulous restaurant. Her meals were delicious, loved the shrimp, pork and chicken. Definitely put her restaurant on your must try.
