Gourmet Kitchen and Open Bar

white space

Family Style. Exceptionally Delicious.

We plan farm-to-table menus to ensure incredibly fresh and delicious variety and all dietary restrictions are accommodated.  We provide a substantial breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as unlimited snacks. Our dining area is beachfront with spectacular ocean views, and our bar is open all day (and is self-serve)!

The bulk of our food and drink is sourced locally, though our bar and spice-rack are quite international. Our menu is a mix of traditional Panamanian fare, cooked with a healthy twist, and a variety of American, European and Asian cuisine using local ingredients. The only complaint we have ever received regarding our food is that it is too delicious to stop at one helping.


An example of meals served may include ... 

Breakfast: any style of eggs, pancakes, hojalda (fried bread), tortillas, French toast, oatmeal, yogurt with granola, bacon, ham, sausage, plantain torte, banana bread, and of course fresh fruit. Coffee, tea, and a variety of milks and juices are always available.

Lunch: homemade soup or stew, tacos or burritos, hot and cold sandwiches, amazing hamburgers on fresh rolls, casseroles, salads, dumplings, homemade pizza, fried rice, nachos or quesadillas, fresh vegetables with dip, Panamanian tamales, and many varieties of pasta. 

Dinner: grilled or roasted meat, chicken or fish, pasta dishes, a wide variety of vegetable and starch dishes, fresh bread and butter, fresh fruit or a homemade dessert. 

Snacks: mixed nuts, chips made with local yuca or plantains, cheese with crackers, popcorn popped in fresh coconut oil, fresh fruit, and sugar cane chunks!


An example of drinks in our self-serve open bar ... 


Non-Alcoholic Drinks:  filtered and sterilized water, coffee, a variety of teas, milks (cow, almond, oat), imported juices (cranberry, apple, grape), local juices (lemonade, tamarind, bohoro), sparkling water, sodas (cola regular and light, ginger ale, Fresca), and tonic.


Alcoholic Drinks:  a variety of local regular and light beer, red and white table wine, sparkling wine, and "middle-shelf) spirits such as local dark and light rum, vodka, whisky, Malibu and Bailey's.  Specialty alcohol types or brands may be secured on behalf of a guest with prior notice at cost plus a 10% transport fee, or feel free to bring your own!


We also have a blender in the bar for iced drinks made from frozen local produce (coconut, ginger, mango, pineapple, banana, cucumber, mint), with or without milks and/or alcohol.

We host a maximum of eleven guests, so we plan around specific eating preferences, just like you would do when you have guests in your home. Guests must share special dietary needs in advance. We design our shopping and the menu around guest preferences.
