Best Authentic Restaurants in Panama City

What a beautiful homage to Panamanian tradition! Greeted by friendly host to our table. The mood is festive with Panamanian music playing. The restaurant is curated with simple and elegant Panamanian decor. Our server the best! Claudio, ask for him, attentive and friendly! The food wow where to begin. We had appetizers to share. The octopus, the ceviche, the corn fritters and the empanadas stuffed with meat and the other with shrimp. All was tasty, fresh and delicious ! For meals we had the hamburger, the arroz con pollo with poached egg, wow what a combo!, ropa vieja with rice and coconut and guandu and the marisco guacho, which is like a risotto. All were flavorful and good portion sizes. These traditional dishes all had amazing twists to them. And dessert the maracuya mousse!! Wow what an ending! Fabulous gastronomic experience! Highly suggest to visit! At night they have live entertainment from Thur to Sunday.

No restaurant we’ve visited in Panama City has disappointed, but this offered the best value and felt the most local. Sangria is excellent, local dishes are all fantastic. You can’t go wrong and the bill will be half of what comparable quality gets you elsewhere.

The menu has an excellent selection. We had lunch on the patio, which was perfectly relaxing. The service was warm and knowledgeable. I would like to eat there again.

Loved everything, great food as usual. Only difference I noticed this time was the spicy edamame, it was overcooked and didn’t have the same flavor and spice as before.

When I go on vacation I like to dine at local establishments. Concolon did not disappoint. I walked out unable to fit my pants. Food was great and authentic, The chicken broth that they served you when you first sit down makes you feel like you’re at grandma’s house. The sangria is made with love. Everything was “chef’s kiss”. Great value as well.
