Flavours of Panama

Ceviche in Panama

Sample the flavours of Panama on a culinary-themed walking tour through Casco Viejo—Panama City’s atmospheric colonial district and home to a burgeoning gastronomy scene.

Taste fresh ceviche at the bustling Mecardo de Mariscos, sip award-winning Geisha coffee, indulge in artisanal chocolate, cool off with a raspao (shaved ice with fruit and condensed milk), sample smooth Pedro Mandinga rum – and much more.

Along the way, meet the friendly restauranteurs and vendors who line the city’s streets and plazas and bring Panama’s flavours to life.

From savoury to sweet, fresh to fried, every bite tells a story of tradition and heritage shaped by Panama’s history as a crossroads of trade and culture.
