Ranked among the top 50 in Latin America, the restaurant initially impressed with its Caribbean fish tempura, which was genuinely delicious. I added bone marrow on the side, but unfortunately both the bone marrow and my partner’s dish were far too salty for my taste.

The service was basic and unremarkable. Given the price point and reputation, I expected a higher level of consistency and overall quality.

There is at least a dozen of world class restaurants in PTY, but this is not it. It’s a good, average, modern Caribbean cuisine. You’ll like the food, for sure. But not worth the price…. Drinks are great though.

Was brought here for my first dinner in Panama City by local friends, and we had a great meal.

Fun music, friendly service and delicious food and cocktails. Highlights were the Mexzal papaya Negroni, the veggie/fruit ceviche (trust me), and the pork chop that was worth a one hour wait.

One dish I ordered I end up eating it by myself was a phenomenal trips due with giant shrimp served on top. You have to be a fan of trip to like this, but if you are a fan, this will be heaven for you.

Was recommended Cantina del Tigre along with a few others by our foodie Uber driver. We were so glad to follow his advice for our last meal in Panama before flying out. The fish ceviche is incredible, mango pineapple salad is so refreshing, and the fried plantains and charred octopus were showstoppers. Everything was beautifully presented and we will be recommending this to any friend or family coming to Panama.

The besca al carbon was excellent..no notes. Good enough for two people to eat and be quite stuffed. The apps were also unique and tasty. Would def go againm

A lovely experience — we couldn’t fault a thing. I can see why it’s rated #40 in the Top 50 Best Restaurants in Latin America for 2025.

We arrived at 12:30 pm without a reservation and were lucky to get a seat, as the place started filling up slowly after 1pm.

Our waitress recommended the 2.5–3 lb chargrilled catch of the day (seabass) to share between two people — the portion was generous and deliciously satisfying. I also had the bone marrow to start, and it was good!

Overall rating: 5/5

traditional flavors of Panama reimagined with/ a focus on ceviches (which are apparently some of the best in the city). Has a bar area, a spacious garden, a wine cellar and a private dining room. Each space is adorned with warm lighting which evokes the colour of a tiger’s fur – and tigers are also painted in every room for a stylish and eccentric atmosphere. unique dishes, such as Cebiche de Mamón Chino, red rice, and rice tamale with prawns, are difficult to find elsewhere. The restaurant also offers vegetarian and vegan options, along with a selection of drinks including Papaya Negronis and Cucumber Mezcal Sours.my final opinion- octopus croquets and fish empanadas for mediocre. But the octopus was amazing and bone marrow is massive size for the price of $6 for two bones)

I recently dined at this restaurant and left very disappointed, especially given its high ratings in Latin America. I was so excited I shared with friends that I’d be eating there. As an avid solo traveler and travel designer, Here’s a candid breakdown of my experience, specifically about the beef tripe & prawn dish:

Food: Stew -Overly salty and rice was undercooked.

Value: The meal felt overpriced for the quality and portion. (Only 4 medium prawns)

Presentation: High marks. It looked very appetizing.

Service: The service was a major letdown. It was over 15 minutes after arrival when someone finally took my order. There was minimal, if any, proactive attention:
The food arrived fairly quickly, and I was happy about that but…
No one asked if I enjoyed my food or if I wanted anything else.
I didn’t receive any check-ins during the meal, and I felt ignored while others around me seemed to receive more attention.
I wanted another glass of wine but I settled for the water provided.
It wasn’t about being busy; it felt personally neglected.
I didn’t even know they offered dessert until I saw it served to the table next to me. But I had already checked out.

Atmosphere: The ambiance was fine, but it didn’t compensate for the inattentive service.

Consider nearby options (e.g., Mercado de Mariscos) casual dining where the food quality can be on par for half the price, and with noticeably better service.

Takeaway: If patience is a virtue, this place doubles as a meditation retreat—you’ll master the art of waiting between bites, when you finally get your food, while looking for eye-contact with your server. Bon appétit?

We stopped by for a quick bite and sat at the counter where we could watch the chefs. We had the deconstructed langoustine tamale that was made with a ground rice instead of corn. That dish was the highlight of our visit. The smokiness of the grilled langoustine paired perfectly with the sauce that was made from papaya! This is a must try!

Nice atmosphere to dine with salsa and merengue music. Fruit punch is pretty sweet and ceviche sauce is salty, the rest were up to their reputation.
