Panama City's dining scene is lauded as perhaps the best of any capital in Central America, but to the savvy gourmet there's not a whole lot of innovation going on around here. The majority of city meals are comparatively less expensive than their counterparts in the USA, but the food and service generally tend to hover from good to very good, rarely hitting that Manhattan level of excellent.

Indigo Restaurant and Bar, Panama
Indigo, Panama

Panama's emerging old district of Casco Viejo has a new haunt to flaunt in the ever-evolving dining and nightlife scene that once seemed so far away. Indigo Restaurant and Lounge, a themed restaurant directly beside the tourism police station, is setting entertainment standards in ways Casco has never seen before.

This past weekend I visited the new Tratorria Toscana on Via Porras to have dinner. The service was lacking, the food certainly not worth the price...is this really a trattoria? It was not full despite our 7:30 pm arrival time and we were able to grab a nice corner table.

This could be my new favorite dig in Panama City. Situated on The Causeway—an area known for touristy restaurants, touristy specials and, well, touristy tourists—this place sticks out like a sore thumb: that is, as long as you're able to find it.

From the street, it doesn't look like much. Compared to the sophisticated façade of La Posta or the supposedly-trendy portico of Las Palmas—where a rock boulder in the lobby is meant to be stylish—the appearance of my new favorite dig in Panama, Ozone Café is relatively unassuming. In passing it from the street, as I have so many times, you might envision the joint to be some sort of internet café or karaoke dive bar—one which you enter through an obscure dark alley. But in doing so, you would miss out on one of Panama's finest gastrorganizations.

The Watering Hole PDF Print E-mail

Written by Matt Landau   
Wednesday, January 24 2007

The history of the phrase “watering hole” goes back to ancient times when monks, to get away from the hustle and bustle of what I can only imagine was a terribly wild workplace, would retreat to quiet sanctuaries. Located in the courtyards of medieval monasteries, watering holes were traditionally shaded by lemon and pomegranate trees, the perimeters framed with blossoming geraniums. In the spirit of mythology, I asked an old monk friend of mine to accompany me to the newest watering hole on Via Veneto, a little place called La Terraza.
