At least once a week, usually more, I drive past Rancho Paisa in Alto Boquete. It is on the highway to David and in the past I passed it by. Yesterday Heather and I were driving back from David and decided to heed the sagely advice of Susan Thoms, “STOP there, it’s good”. As usual, [...]
Almost three months ago I took guests to the Oasis restaurant in Boquete Panama to try a rack of lamb, it was not to their liking. Although I really enjoy eating at Oasis and recommend it, their lamb was not the best. This past weekend a group of dedicated lamb consumers and culinary taste testers [...]
You might not think of Panama City, Panama as the place for an excellent Chinese restaurant, it is.

It was not something I expected to find in Panama but it is here, at the Renegado in David Panama they do a variation I had not seen before; Paella Negra. Paella (IPA: [pa'e?a]) is an internationally known dish of white rice, meat, [...]
One of the great foods of Panama is Pollo a la Lena, a simple rotisserie chicken cooked over a wood fire. if you wanted Pollo a la Lena in Boquete Panama you needed to drive to David, not any more. Henry and Tammy have opened a simple and well located Chicken and Burger place in [...]
Like the quest for the best wines many gourmets are now on the quest for the perfect cup of coffee. This is one taste that does not require much of a trek for me. I live on a mountain called Jaramillo in the Boquete District of western Panama, the perfect place to grow and drink [...]
