We had dinner, breakfast and lunsj at this beautiful place. All the meals were very good and tasty. We tried different kind of food, and both the pastas, salmon, beef and desert- and we recommend everything! Our best meals in Panama, and not so expencive either.

The setting is beautiful, the service perfect and the food was better then expected. I wanted to eat it all over again after I was finished. If you only have one day in Boquete this is the place you have to eat.

It was "happy hour" and most of the group sent back their drinks demanding that some actual spirits be... More
