    The Strawberry Letter milk punch, built around Chiriquí's famously sweet berries, tells you a lot about how carefully this bar and eatery on Calle Uruguay has been put together. It reads like a cool friend's apartment, full of considered details, with a menu that ranges from birria tacos to latkes with whipped feta. Natural wine and mezcal palomas keep the room loose. A 2025 Spirited Awards Regional Top 10 Honoree for Best International Restaurant Bar in Latin America and the Caribbean.

    • Mezcal paloma

      “On the drink side, the mezcal paloma perfectly complements Panama’s tropical weather, while the Strawberry Letter milk punch, infused with strawberries and cream, is a nostalgic nod to Chiriquí’s famously sweet berries.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
