Some consider the Capital City of our country as one of the great poles of international gastronomy, being one of the most prominent trade centers in the world, where thousands of companies settled their headquarters.

Being one of the most important trade centers in the world with hundreds of multinational companies based here had an immediate effect on gastronomy.

The need to have a wide gastronomic offer made it an excellent option for both locals seeking new gourmet experiences, as well as for those who come from abroad and want to consume the dishes they love so much from their countries.

This led us to achieve a range of dishes that will amaze even the most ambitious gourmet critic, for example, there are restaurants that prepare the best Caribbean dishes, such as some Colombians and Venezuelans, which bring the typical arepas and the classic broths that fill the locals with pride for their national cuisine.

Tourist Focus

Being the cosmopolitan city that it is, Panama placed great emphasis on positioning itself in the region as one of the great gastronomic centers of the region, allowing all kinds of chains to be installed, but also those local restaurants that will make us smile every time we visit them, preparing those dishes that caused us so much pleasure in our childhood.

Of course, in addition to businesses, which are highly favored by having a huge range of options to meet and entertain those foreigners with dishes from their regions, tourism also finds a huge ally in gastronomy.

It is logical that tourists after spending a few days in our capital want to return to eat a dish from their homeland, and then return to explore other options.

Is that without a doubt the “gastronomic homeland” if you want is built from varieties of products, as in this case the possibility of consuming something regional and very curious about our country such as “pizza sushi”, as well as some pieces of nigiri or a good hot dog, as well as the best donuts in the world.

Without further ado, let’s look at some of the best gastronomic options in Panama:

Panamanian

Sancocho is undoubtedly one of the best expressions of Panama, the famous soup that includes tubers such as potatoes or sweet potatoes, as well as meats that can be some cuts of pork, many vegetables and of course the right condiment for a broth of this style, reminiscent of the famous casseroles in the region. 

Peruvian

One of the Peruvian classics that is growing very fast in the world is ceviche, among other things for its nutritional qualities and exquisite flavor. Panamanian fishing is an excellent source to prepare it, like the Fish Lovers Ceviche restaurant, located on Isla Flamenco, an excellent tourist spot in the city.

Hawaiian

The “poke bowls” are making a splash in the world, consisting of a bowl of vegetables and fruit such as chopped pineapple, along with some delicious fish in strips, which undoubtedly makes a very nutritious and fresh dish. You can ask for delivery from Poked, through the Appetito24 web platform, if we do not feel like going out.

Caribbean

As mentioned, the food of the region has a great impact in Panama, such as the famous El Caribe restaurant, which is in Building 12, Local No. 3 El Cangrejo, Via Argentina and prepares delicacies such as garlic prawns, Jamaican chicken curry and the famous stuffed corvina.
