September 25, 2019 Dorsey Hagwood

Reviews on Central American food in Bocas del Toro Province, Panama. An archipelago off the northwest coast of Panama, Bocas del Toro is an eco-tourism favorite with English-speaking and other tourists traveling to this Central American country. Seven islands (including Isla Colón, Isla Carenero and Isla Bastimentos) comprise the land area, with Bocas Town its regional capital and the “big city” for those looking to shop, dine well, and explore nightlife. Adventure lovers will find plenty to keep them occupied, as scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing, surfing and hiking are first-rate. And if you’re more of a tour-goer, never fear—Bocas del Toro offers a host of them, ranging from sailing to Nivida Bat Cave tours.

Had the ceviche which had a unique twist with shoestring potatoes on top. Found it to be a bit tangy. Needed crackers to counter it. Lobster Mac and cheese was good. Wasn’t sure I would like plantains on top, but wasn’t bad. Pineapple juice was amazing!!!

Bibi's is great, the food is awesome and the people that work there are kind and welcoming. I've gone there five or six times and haven't tasted anything that wasn't delicious. Good place to sit, relax and enjoy the breeze during the calmer months. Thanks for the friendly service Will!

My wife and I plan a day trip to the Blue Coconut on every trip! We go to Bocas at least twice a year. the Blue Coconut, like many places in Bocas, is laid back, has good food, and drinks'o'plenty! The humidity getting to you? Take a dip in the water while sipping a cool beverage! Hungry? The meals are excellent and presented well. If you are looking for fresh lobster, pull one from the water and have it cooked!We always meet the nicest people here and have a blast! The food is good, the staff is very friendly, and drinks are great!Do yourself a favor and get to the Blue Coconut. A short water taxi ride from town!

Reviewed By Mary K

Unbelievable, maybe one of the best meals of entire trip. We ended up at this little restaurant because our original choice had disappeared. Delicious, Caribbean and innovative with a Panamanian Indigenous chef/innovator. I had: Chicken breast wrapped in bacon and flaky pastry, covered in a smoked honey gorgonzola sauce. Hubby: grilled filet mignon served on a lava rock with herbs and sauce.

El Ultimo Refugio

Rustic and quaint, over the water, Caribbean-American fusion, focus on fresh seafood. Meat and vegetarian options always avaible

Reviewed By abbeywirth

This restaurant is definitely worth a visit while in Bocas.Fresh and delicious seafood on the menu. It was hard to pick, so we ate a lot and were not disappointed by anything we ate. Or drank for that matter, the wine was great and the margarita was tasty! The restaurant has a great view, so worth getting there before sunset, even if just for a drink out on the wharf. Even on a cloudy day it was great.They had live music too which was a bonus we weren’t expecting.

Skully's is a beach front Restaurant & Bar with a great variety of food, good vibes, ice cold beers and drinks and a seaside swimming pool! We are waiting for you to join us! Don't miss it...

Reviewed By Melissa R

Skulls is nice because it is off of the beat and path but I was disappointed. For some reason I thought they would have cheap Panamanian food. It was all typical US food and expensive. A hamburger is cheaper at playa tortuga. The atmosphere reminded me of a biker bar in the states but on the beach. It just wasn’t my cupOf tea.
