El Valle de Anton Food Guide: 10 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in El Valle de Anton

January 26, 2018 Joeann Galban

Families with kids of all ages will love this mountain village, located just two hours from Panama City. Whether you’re up for active sports such as hiking, biking, horseback riding and ziplining through the rainforest—or sightseeing adventures such as the El Nispero Zoo and Serpentario (a snake habitat), you’ll find it here. El Valle de Antón is home to the world’s second-largest extinct volcano—but you’ll still find more modern pleasures here, such as its well-known Sunday Market and elegant spas such as Casa de Lourdes.

Casa de Lourdes

Reviewed By FabienneB1967 - The Hague, The Netherlands

The starter, shrimps with avocado was delicious. Main course I took the advice of Tripadvisor for Mac and cheese and scallops. I am still looking for the scallops, according to the waiter is was cut into very small pieces. The coffee was undrinkable. Very far...MoreThere was a misunderstanding...the scallops are not cut in SMALL pieces...they are BABY SCALLOPS...but I already fixed the dish. Thanks for comment. Lourdes Ward

Bruschetta Restaurant

Reviewed By CPHunter - Vancouver, Canada

Having been in Panama for 6 days now I would say that this was an excellent meal and at a good price comparatively. Nice atmosphere. Kind of slow. The soups were great. Some people at our table didn't like the fact that while chicken pieces with bones were in the broth. That's part of what made the broth delicious. S sea bass was fabulous. Steak was tender and tastey. Washroom had no lock and no easy to dry your hands.

Restaurante Dona Nella

Reviewed By StuartandDenese - Stockbridge, Georgia

We stopped in for lunch after hiking up to see the Piedra Pintada. This tiny little cafeteria style restaurant is the bomb!!! I had barbecued chicken with rice and beans; he had baked chicken with rice, beans, and the potato salad. You would have thought it was our last meal! We couldn't eat fast enough -- it was sooooo good. They serve breakfast and lunch, so we must go back for breakfast after enjoying such a wonderful lunch.

Reviewed By A TripAdvisor Member

I will Return or Recommend: Yes never figured out why in Panama, where they grow good coffee, coffee is not easy to come by. We tried the ice coffee It was really good , very tasty .Also the pastries looked really good. I order a cheesecake. The prices of the drinks were $2 - $3, which is what we would expect.

Really tasty food, good service! They have to fix the furniture. 3 of the tables were moving (Not standing flat) and that lowered the overall impression. Apart from that all was great. Good food, cold beer, decent prices. Best place in el valle!!

Butterfly Cafe

The cafe is temporarily closed until further notice.

Reviewed By LovinColorado33315 - Los Lunas, New Mexico

We have visited the Mariposa Cafe on many occasions during our 3 month stay in El Valle. Have had Sunday brunch, lunch and snacks. Everything has been wonderful - fresh and homemade. My favorites have been French Toast casseroles, a wonderful Corn Chowder and Frittatas. I haven't tried anything that I haven't enjoyed! The atmosphere is very friendly and all the butterflies in the adjacent Butterfly Haven make for a very enjoyable respite. Erin and Dan, the owners, are so nice and welcoming! Great food and happy people - what more could you want?
