Dining Tips

Best Dining Times

Many restaurants open for lunch around 11:30 AM and dinner service typically starts at 6:00 PM. Some places may close between 3:00-5:00 PM, so it's good to check ahead for afternoon dining.

Payment Methods

Most restaurants accept both cash (USD) and cards, but it's always good to have some cash on hand. Some smaller establishments may be cash-only, especially for drinks or snacks on the beach.

Local Specialties

Don't miss trying fresh seafood, especially the catch of the day. Local favorites include ceviche, grilled fish, and traditional Panamanian dishes like sancocho and patacones.
