We came here with a friend for dinner on a weeknight. This was our choice because everyone could find something to eat. We ordered the hummus and babaganoush for starters. They were both good. What I really enjoyed was the falafel sandwich. It was huge and it came with fries. The falafels were hot and crispy on the outside. The waiter was attentive and checked if the tahini had dairy and it did. They left that out of my sandwich. Very good service over all. There is available parking at front of restaurant.

Las Lajas Beach Resort Restaurant & Bar

Reviewed By MalagaBill77

My wife and I did not stay at the resort but stopped there for lunch. Very good menu an prices reasonable. Multilingual staff. As they seem to cater for mostly Americans the food portions were, for us, way oversized. Well cooked and presented. I ordered a beer which was fine but as Europeans would have liked a glass rather then drink it from the bottle! Nice location overlooking the beach. Thank you for letting us know you had such a good lunch here, while overlooking the ocean!Panamanians like to drink their beer ice cold and straight from the bottle. But if you ask for a glass the staff will be more than willing to serve your beer in a glass.Saludos from the whole team!

The restaurant is attached to the hotel making it convenient for the guest. I was surprised how well it was decorated and well furnished for the eating experience. The service was good, so where the cocktails, and the food for the several times eating there was also very good and priced well. They have a buffet, or one can order from the menu. The staff is personable and easy to talk with. There is a bar inside the restaurant in an open environment with the lighting well done adding to a comfortable place to eat or drink.I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and would also recommend the hotel that was excellent (Ciudad de David hotel). Parking available for the hotel and restaurant.

Fire Side Inn - Georges' Grill

Reviewed By Mailjune

Do not be put off by first appearances. Some people came in, looked and left. Their loss. The menu is up on a board and George will come out to discuss it. We went with George’s recommendations and I had the lobster and my husband had the pork dish. Both were very good. George even came through from the garden with a handful of freshly picked herbs for the dinner. The French tourists sitting with us said their chicken dinners were very good. The Canadians next to us liked their pizza as did a group of regular ex-pats.There was a convivial atmosphere with a stone fireplace blazingAnd George’s young daughter picked a very nice wine for us.We do recommend it.

We went here for a birthday dinner celebration. We arrived and went to the lovely bar. We waited ages to order drinks as the bar tender was “busy” polishing glasses. We ordered when he eventually paid us some attention. We waited. And waited. Another group arrived about 15 minutes after us and placed their drinks order. After about 20 minutes we noticed they started to be served their cocktails. We waited another 10 minutes and they then bought us our drinks. Not good to be relegated in that way. We then went through to the dining room and placed our dinner orders. As there were 8 of us we covered a good cross section of the menu. What arrived was universally overcooked, tepid, tasteless and minuscule sized. All of us were disappointed with the main courses. My pork shoulder was tough, dry, stringy and inedible. The steaks were also awful. The prices are outrageous for such truly dreadful food. We will not be wasting our time and money here again. The whole place is tired, a little tatty and in need of an injection of fresh ideas and a whole new approach in the kitchen.

It also has a nice wine list. We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your visit at The Rock Boquete, thank you very much for your comments and we look forward to seeing you again.

We wanted to get a nice filet mignon and one of our customers suggested Fanny's.Placed a take out order to picked on way home and got 2 filet dinners, curry chicken, wontons, salads and cheese cakes for dessert.The filets had a delicious brown wine/mushroom sauce on top with one order having special rice and the other mashed potatoes. OutstandIng!The curry chicken was just right with the amount of curry and the wontons were crispy, with a good sauce and tasty filing.The cheesecake that may have been made with goats milk ( not sure) was not a hit as it was dry and had an off taste.Overall the dinners were excellent and the fillets were much better than nearby La Carbonera.We did the whole order over WhatsApp by the way.Really wonderful experience. Thank you Franny.

There are many good restaurant choices in Boquete but, Colibrí is one that stands out as incredibly special. The atmosphere in the garden patio is relaxing and beautiful, the service is delightful, and every entree is prepared and presented with care. The owners, Daniele and Carolina, are dedicated to creating a special dining experience for each guest. Check their schedule for special events such as wine tastings, which are excellent. On Sundays you can enjoy acoustic music on the patio during brunch. Consider yourself very fortunate if you're there on a Sunday when singer-songwriter, Adhi Velásquez, is performing.

We go to Panama every year in January and always like to have dinner at Bocas Del Mar. I had the bbq chicken and my husband had the pork medallions. The food was prepared perfectly and was very tasty. The service has always been excellent but this year it was exceptional. They obviously care about their guests and patrons. Two from the waiters even remembered us from last year. Highly recommend. We appreciate your 5 star review of your meal. It was a pleasure to welcome you again.
