Colon Province, Panama Food Guide: 3 Mediterranean food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Colon
Reviews on Mediterranean food in Colon, Colon Province, Panama. About 50 miles northwest of Panama City, Colón is home to the northern gateway of the Panama Canal as well as Afro-Caribbean descendants of those workers who helped build the canal in the early 20th century. Colón’s greatest claim to fame—and the main reason visitors come here—is the Colón Free Zone, a massive shopping showroom where wholesalers, retailers and the general public shop. You’ll also find Colón 2000, a cruise-ship port with restaurants, a supermarket, and shops selling duty-free merchandise. The most scenic way to travel here is by way of the restored Panama Canal Railway, featuring elegant, wood-paneled and carpeted rail cars (based on 19th century designs) that takes you on a hour-long journey through the rainforest to Colón.

Your options are limited in an area generally considered edgy if you leave controlled locations. The atmosphere was that of a cafeteria inside and outside loud music thumped and some smoked water pipes. The food and service were OK. What are you going to do? You can't leave the Radisson/shopping center compound.

2. Club Union Arabe
Reviewed By flacatops
I have only been there for parties (weddings, birthdays etc) and also for bussines and other meetings where the menu is previously chosen, the food is maybe the best in Colon, where there are not so many restaurants this tipe, they take their job seriously, everything there is really well organized and beautifully decorated.
3. Restaurante Beirut
Reviewed By Walter W
This restaurant has more than one location in Panama City. I have tried two of the locations, and they have both been good. On my recent visit in November 2017, I visited the location on the causeway. The restaurant emphasizes Middle Eastern food, particularly Lebanese food, and I have found it delicious. The members of the staff are competent and attentive. I would return to Restaurante Beirut again.
