Very few people there so was very laid back atmosphere.Had a newer waiter so was not as well schooled in what to ask but was still pleasant.Had to ask for the desert menu as it was not offered up.Good meal served very elegantly but think could of gotten just as good in boquete.The atmosphere is what made it memorable.

We visited for dinner, per high recommendation of locals. We sat in the bar..nice atmosphere, fireplace, and another on the patio outside, which was reserved. We both ordered beef...a Kobe steak rare and Angus grade filet in a Cabernet reduction with mushrooms, medium. The Kobe was way overdone and the filet, while cooked properly, was toughest filet I have ever... More

Gorgeous, old, colonial setting. We didn´t eat dinner in the dining room, but the bar has a beautiful fireplace... two in fact, and is the most romantic setting we found in Boquete. Sit by the fire. Order from their bar menu, drink a Salto? Their signature drink. And relax and fall in love again!

I was disappointed, the food was not very good, the service was ok and the restaurant/hotel needed a face lift.

cold reception and unsmiling service was off-putting, but the dining-room was chic, and the food very good.....especially the starters: pizza, Bruschetta, and the fish mains. The French bread was delicious, all 6 of us had a colourful, tasty meal, which was good value.

The Panamonte restaurant is as old and charming as a first-rate Panama hat. I can recommend both. The Panamonte's bar area is as atmospheric as it gets. Everything spells casual elegance in an old-school way. Service was great, too. When we asked for a local specialty drink and learned that the fruit to make it was unavailable, the bartender offered... More

This restaurant is in an attractive old building and is reputed to be the best in Boquete. Sadly, we came away unimpressed. The decor is attractively old-fashioned. The service was professional, but unfriendly. The appetizers were well prepared but nothing special. My trout was so overcooked it was almost inedible, and there were minimal garnishes and accompanying vegetables. We had... More

We heard about this restaurant from a British couple we met near Boca Chica. They loved it so much they ate at Panamonte twice during their stay. We tried it the first day and returned 3 more times: the food is fabulous. I had the best pork chop I've ever eaten anywhere, thick, smoky, tasty....wow! The trout is to die... More

We have loved this restaurant for it's ambiance and service for years. Sadly our last visit was very disappointing. Ordered eggs over light and when served they were hard. I pointed this out to the waitress and she simply shrugged her shoulders and walked off. My husband ordered oatmeal with berries, cinnamon and raisins. They have always served this on... More
