Cantina del Tigre

The 26 Best Restaurants in Panama City | Eater

"From the street, Cantina del Tigre’s dark facade offers no hint of what lies inside. Listed on the Latin America 50 Best Restaurants list, the restaurant hides a brewpub-like interior strung with fairy lights, where chef Fulvio Miranda reimagines traditional Panamanian dishes with bold flavors. The ceviche section of the menu features fresh fish and seafood from both of Panama’s coastlines, as well as sao: pig trotters pickled in vinegar, lemon juice, onions, and cucumbers. For the main course, Miranda and his team present dishes like rice tamale with langoustines, Afro Antillean fried fish (served with a curry and mustard sauce alongside coconut rice), and a hearty tripe stew with crustaceans." - Jorge Chanis
