• Panamanian • Panama City

We invite you to join us for our playful exploration of flavour, that is equal parts: intuition and experience. With often primitive methods of concoction such as fermentation, smoking, raw dishes, curing, pickling and the magic and unpredictability of cooking over wood fire – all coming together with elegant execution in dishes designed for sharing and pairing. Purposefully a little disruptive, we take an approach to dining that is fun, and encourages looking at traditional ideas from a new angle. This can be anything from getting stuck in with your hands, to rehashing recipes with funky local produce. We never stand still and continue to evolve – just as fire refuses to hold a single form.

    Very impressed with the service and creativity of the dishes. Love the Panamanian - Asian influences of the food. One of our best meals in Panama. Ernesto was our server and he was great. We loved the amberjack tartare, the chicken soup, the chili bon wonton and the sea bass in a curry sauce.

    From the moment you enter until the time you leave, you will feel cared for. The staff is very attentive. Our server Yenny was very personable and looked after us well. The cocktails were nice, not too sweet like many other places we’ve been to. The food was amazing, delicately spiced and beautifully presented. Everything was perfect about this place except the entrance. It is not explicitly marked so we had some comedy trying the wrong doors. Other than that, perfect.

    Absolutely amazing food, the best we have tasted on our trip to Panama. Every course was delicious and the lamb dish for 2 is one of the best lamb dishes we have tasted!!! Thanks to Chef Mateo who came to our table to explain the flavours in the dish as it really was absolutely exceptional! The ambience is excellent and the service from all staff was excellent and special thanks to our server Gabriel. Do not hesitate to try this excellent restaurant and amazing food.

    My husband and I were seated on an outdoor balcony for a romantic dinner and there was a family with 2 small children seated on the balcony next to us. Let’s just say romantic and small children don’t go together.
