Mario Castrellón's tasting menu restaurant in Coco del Mar draws a line through Panama's entire cultural map, from Caribbean and Afro-Antillean to Indigenous and Asian influences, all on one table. The room feels warm and unhurried, its design nodding to Canal-era architecture. Castrellón built his network with local producers before it was fashionable, and their ingredients do most of the talking. It holds a spot on Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants.
