Java Juice: juice, batidos and supreme burgers

by iwys

I'm not really a burger fan, but Java Juice's muliti-layered Supreme Burgers are great value. They also sell outstanding salads, fresh juice and batidos. Ther place has a modern, fast food atmosphere, metal and glass furniture, coffee sacks and national flags decorating the walls and big windows looking out onto Boquete's main street. It is very popular with Boquete's expat community.Opening hours: 10am-10pmThere is another Java Juice in David. The Supreme Burger reigns supreme. You can choose any fruit combination batido. My favourite was passion fruit and mango.

Choco Chettas- chocolate & strawberries

by elsadran

Mmmm! Delicious, succulent, alluring chocolate strawberries. Unforgettably delicious! Skewers with pieces of marzipan, brownies or strawberries dipped into chocolate and coming out with a yummy yummy coat of it!!! My steps always took me to the shop without even thinking of it. Then I brought my friends, too, and was really happy to initiate them to the passion of chocolate and strawberries! Try it even if you are not very interested in sweets. Well, I am a chocomaniac, anyway...One stick 2$ or 2.50$. Strawberries with cream or icecream 2.5$. It has some simple dishes for real food, like soups, meat delicacies, chicken, nice salads, fresh fruit juices, coffee and tea, children menus. But the best is the strawberries, prepared in the most imaginative ways to please the eye and the palate!Frequented by young locals and tourists. Pleasant Retro Modern ambiance.The name? Choco Chettas !...

Pecado de Sabor - eclectic taste in Bocas del Toro

by elsadran

This was my favourite restaurant in Bocas del Toro 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 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.

El Bodegon: One of Panama City's Best

by SilverOakCab

El Bodegon is among our favorite restaurants and a "must go" on our trip to Panama. It is a place serving mostly locals and can be very difficiult to find unless you know where you are going in the San Francisco neighborhood.The staff is very professional and the dining experience is quite pleasant. It is one of the more expensive places in Panama City, but definately worth the money. The menu was created by El Bodegon's Executive Chef Alvaro Perrino and doesn't disappoint. The Tuna Carpaccio and the stuffed olives with red peppers and anchovies are incredible appetizers, but the real highlight of the menu is the King Crab brought in from the San Blas Islands on Panama's Carribean coast. Try the grillled corvina or the seafood paella if your not in the mood for crab. The flambeed strawberries with vanilla ice cream or the creme caramel is a great way to finish the evening dining...

Market: Local popular, steaks and hamburgers

by lionelpoitrine

Great big bustling place, filled with Panama elite when they dress down. Imported steaks and roast beef, sliders and creamed spinach. WINE LIST IS HUGE AND WELL PRICED. Prime rib on Thurs and friday nights.

La Montana y el Valle: Candlelight dining

by kyoub

Some night's after a long day of sightseeing/birding is is nice to be able to just stay home and eat. Some of the best food that we had in Panama was delivered right to our doorstep.Jane and Barry at La Montana y el Valle will prepare a meal for you. Just let them know before you go out of a morning what you would like and they will have it ready for you for dinner.

Hotel Panamonte: Historical dining room

by kyoub

This beautiful old hotel on the north side of Boquete has a lovely dining room. They have been serving food to guests of the hotel and the public since 1914.The food is good and prices are a little more than some places nearby but not bad.

Hotel Tropical: Adorable

by megwehrle

Great views, very well kept and just all around cute. It's a beautiful place to have a laid back meal. I only had the pizza which was just average, but that's what you get for ordering pizza in central america i guess. The atmosphere more than made up for the mediocre choice though. Apparently they have good fish, that's just what the other customers told me.
