OCTO SMOKEHOUSE
$$$$•Caribbean•4.9(11)Octo Smokehouse is the urban evolution of Octo Bocas: a fire-driven kitchen built on smoke and slow technique that reinterprets the Caribbean through contemporary barbecue. Led by Chef Joseph Archbold, the concept is born from years of work in Bocas del Toro and brought to the city with a deeper, bolder proposal focused on product.
Here, proteins are cooked low and slow, smoked with carefully selected woods, and finished over open fire, accompanied by sides inspired by Afro-Caribbean flavors, ferments, house-made sauces, and tastes that honor their origins without sacrificing technical precision.

Mahalo Panama, opened July 1st 2016, and the concept was simple, healthy food, promoting healthy living, and providing a space for people to feel comfortable, as if in your own backyard. Mahalo has since branched into two locations, maintaining the original location as a juice bar under the name of Snack Shack, and the new Mahalo Cocina y Jardin with a slightly more intimate cozy setting offering an international menu with the same healthy base. Since opening Mahalo has been seen in Vogue, GQ, Conde Naste Traveler, Lonely Planet and more.Maito

- MMichaelGoldChicago / Illinois •48 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWe thought Caleta was amazing, including the daily breakfast as part of our Sofitel room rate. We actually made a second reservation here after the fantastic first dinner. The service and presentation was refined and there were enough tasty vegetarian options that it was hard to decide. Even if you are not normally after dinner coffee drinkers, go for the Geisha coffee experience for dessert as it was its easy to see why this is among the most expensive coffee in the world and it's own show and as someone who normally doesn't drink coffee past noon, I was able to get a good night sleep. I wouldn't hesitate to make a reservation here the next time we are in PC.More infoCaleta$$$$• International• Panama City•4.9
