MANGLE

The 26 Best Restaurants in Panama City | Eater

"Located on Calle Uruguay, Mangle is a bar and eatery that feels like a cool friend’s living room, filled with curated details that reflect the artistic backgrounds of its creative owners. The menu is just as thoughtfully crafted, a mix of garlicky shrimp baguettes, birria tacos (available with on gluten-free cassava tortillas), veggie summer rolls, latkes served with whipped feta and apple compote, and cheeseburger sliders from Anti Burger (locally famous for its bold flavors and ties to activist movements). 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. Natural wine fills out the laid-back yet sophisticated vibe." - Jorge Chanis
