El Pecado del Sabor
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:

  • This was my favourite and I would have had all my food there if I could...
    Its values are: Excellent food, flawless service, superb taste, warm candle lit atmosphere and a narrow but breezy balcony with view to the main street. I met the French Canadian owner who pointed out to me that he cares for quality. I heard they sometimes stay open until very late if the clients are in the mood! Among others I remember the delicious fish dishes including lobster and salmon. There are also Thai, Lebanese and Mexican dishes. Try it!
    Calle 3rd just off the main square, 2nd building to the Park on the 2nd floor.

    Yarisnori is the only restaurant in the area of Bocas de Drago beach at the northwest part of Colon island but it manages to satisfy all the customers. Their food is tasty, especially the fish, which I tried, and the prices are not bad. The service is very good, the lady who runs it very nice and the location is convenient. You can start or end your excursion with it! There are some hammocks on the beach in front.
    Cold showers are free in order to get rid of some salt off your body. You can also rent snorkel gear and kayaks.

    Lemon Grass restaurant
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • This was my friends' favourite so we frequently visited it. And not undeservedly. It has nice views from the large terrace. The owner describes it as 'Asian bistro' and points out the Asian Fusion Cuisine. Its menu includes mostly Thai dishes but local tastes, too. It was recommended to me by Europeans living there, too.
    Juices are at 2.5$, appetizers at 5$ and mains at 10-20$ and stays open from 11:30am to 10:00pm

    This is a nice Canadian-owned restaurant in town on the second level where you can take refuge from the rain (or sun) and watch the town below. Food is a bit pricier but has a good variety and is very delicious.

    For breakfast try the Huevos Rancheros, Eggs Benedict or French crepes. They come with orange juice and coffee.

    For dinner, try the coconut curry red snapper.

    Sit out on the deck and enjoy the view of Bocastown harbour. Happy hour is 7-8 or 9 (depending on the day and their mood) where you can get rum and cokes for $1 or fancy drinks for more.

    Fish fillet in coconut garlic sauce with patacones (fried plantain chips), rice and salad. Costs about $8.50.

  • This place had great pancakes at reasonable prices. It can become packed in the morning, so if you are in a rush...

    I had the pancake with bananas and chocolate sauce -- yummy!

    La Pecado: La Pecado
  • Tip Rating:
  • La Pecado is located above Mangrove Eco-Resorts office. When you sit on the outside deck you swear that the deck is going to colapse. Depending on what seat you sit in at the table, the table could be at your chin or at your waist! It is defiantely worth a visit to experience this, plus the food is great!

    Staff is also very friendly!

    Hot Dogs 99 cents: Cheap delicious eats
  • Satisfaction:
  • I am afraid that I dont remember the actual name of this place but it is an open air cafeteria on the main street facing the central park, one block from Cafe Lorito.

    You can get an omelette with toast for about $2. Eats are basic, cheap and tasty and good for those moments you really want to count your pennies and save a bit of time. Also offers burgers, hot dogs, fries etc.

    Ask them to make you a sandwich ($1.50) or take some empanadas (.60) to go in the morning if you plan on taking a snorkelling tour or biking around the island.

    Mr. Douglas' Golden Grill: Please, do me a favor, don't eat here
  • Satisfaction:
  • If the name sends up any red flags in your mind, heed them. Sure, you may walk out of Mr. Douglas' neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, but mediocrity is so boring when there are good options. To be fair, the pizza here isn't bad, though the amount of toppings is a joke. The real joke though, the sadistic joke, is the hamburgers. Even if you've never had a hamburger, this will set alarm bells of inside of you and you'll know it's wrong. There always seems to be people in this place, but I just don't understand it. It's all generic, nothing special, nothing good, food.
    Instead of this, walk across the street (you can see it from the seating area of Mr. Douglas') to Caribbean Burgers, or the street vendor next to it, the food is much better.

    Pizza, best thing on the menu (but still, go across the street to Caribbean Burgers)

    Om Cafe: Indian Cuisine in Bocas del Toro
  • Satisfaction:
  • Tonight we shared a wonderful dining experience with our friends in Bocas del Toro. The Om Cafe is conveniently located one block off the main street in Bocas. It is on the second floor of the building and gives a nice view of the city park. But, of course, the test of a good restaurant is the service and food - and Om Cafe scored high as far as all of us were concerned. Our server was courteous and prompt with our orders. All dishes are marked on the menu as to how spicy they are but most can be adjusted to your taste. For instance, the special of the evening was not spicy but could be seasoned as you wished. The drink menu is extensive with beer, cocktails, wine, and Indian teas as well as soft drinks and fruit drinks.

    We sampled the Shrimp Tikka, the Shrimp Curry, the Chicken Curry and the Palaak Paneer. The dishes come with rice, naan and daal. They were all very tasty and made us wish for larger stomachs to taste more! Our friends enjoyed the Thali dinners which can be either vegetarian, chicken, fish or shrimp.
