Fixed time Seating: Island Princess dining

by tennis1

We opted for the 8:30 fixed seating and enjoyed this as we weren't rushed and got to know our waite staff and other guests at our table. You could opt for dining at your leisure subject to tables being available. The food was excellent with a wide choice available. You always have some items such as shrimp cocktail, ceasar salad, sirloin steak, salmon filet Dessert Souffles were available most nights and were excellent with unique flavours

Oh, this is a hard one, as i have serveral.In Panama City:1. Mi Ranchito - this is in Amador next to the Canal and Panama Bay, good atmosphere and reasonable price range. Bohio style outdoor eating. $$2. Sunley Chinese Restaurant in El Dorado in Panama City. Excellent Seafood all round and great prices for the pocket.$$3. Eurasia - Oriental food presented in French style. It is in Panama City. Highly recommended although on the pricy side for Panamanian standard.$$$$4. Pomodoro in El cangejo. Again, it is in Panama City. They have a courtyard and it is real cozy there in the evening. $$Other restaurants worth visiting outside Panama:1. Pipa's beach bar near Decameron resort on the Pacific beach. About one and a half hour from Panama City. Great food, Great prices and very Funky. Try their Patacones and their jumble prawns. $

We stopped by a small restaurant in the middle of nowhere to get something to eat. It was near San Andres, Panama which is about 30 minutes south of the Costa Rican border. This is an authentic Panamanian Tortilla. Great.

by dnorman13

1985 / Rincon Suizo. The only true 5-star dining in Panama. They also have the largest wine cellar in Panama. A sure bet. I must warn you though, this place is not for the thrifty traveler. For those concerned about price try Pomodoro owned and operated by the same Master Chef. They serve a lot of the same dishes without all the 5 star frillsBest dining in Panama. They will make you feel like you are a regular on your first visit. Truly a great dining experience. Begin your meal with an order of Raqylette for two to tantalize your tastebuds. For the main course I recommend the Medallones Morilles. This dish is not on the menu but will not dissapoint I promise. The owner Willy Diggleman prepared this for me one time and I ordered it every time I visited from then on. It consists of Pork Medalions covered in a creamy sauce accented by delctable Morrel Mushrooms

by jglenn

House of ribs, there are lots of other restaurants on calle Uruguay as well. An Argentinan steakhouse (Gauchos) is there, as well as several chinese, italian, american, several other places.It will take you several minutes to read the whole menu if you choose to, it is about 10 pages long, with dozens of different entrees, from steak, ribs, bbq, seafood, everything. I had a huge broiled seafood platter, with squid, scallops, shrimp, fish and clams for less than 10 dollars. Seafood Platter
