A to Z Chef's Table

A to Z was a truly magical culinary experience. From the very first offering of the breads, I ate things that I would not ordinarily try and enjoyed every single one. The use of locally grown produce in all the dishes, the detail to the plating, the blend of flavours and the chef's personal and deliberate intention to explain each dish and invite you to "enjoy"....pure Bliss! This was a one of a kind experience that I encourage anyone interested in experiencing different culinary cultures to try. Chef Ariel has created a master piece here.

Everything was amazing. The food, the drinks, the service, and the atmosphere. First time I’ve tried raw tuna and I was not disappointed. I’m not adventurous when it comes to food but I went in with an open mind and was blown away by the flavors. Would definitely go back.

An absolutely exceptional experience! Ariel guided us through each dish with stories about the ingredients’ origins — it felt like dinner and a show. The food was superb, and I’ll definitely be coming back with friends next time!

Give this place a Michelin star! Or two!! It was by far the best meal I've ever had. Every dish was a different trip. Incredible creativity and diversity on the plates. Great service and overall experience. I cannot recommend it enough.

Amazing experience and the chef is really a delight. The food was fabulous and was a combination of very intentional local ingredients and some molecular cooking. The chef did a great job of explaining the dishes and there was also a visual element to the playing and presentation that I did not expect. I highly recommend it. I think their caliber compares well with some of the Michelin star restaurants that I have dined at.

Quite possibly the best dining experience of my life! Just spectacular flavors, presentation, and service for all 10 courses. Chef Ariel was a perfect host, bringing stories and humor to each dish. The intimate atmosphere (14 people) gave a feeling of dining with close friends even though we had just met. Of all the places in Panama, this is an absolute must if you enjoy amazing food!

Dining at A to Z is more than a meal—it’s an intimate journey through local flavors, reimagined with modern flair. Chef Ariel’s deep respect for local ingredients shines in every dish, transforming beloved classics into something both nostalgic and innovative. Each course is personally introduced, revealing the origins and inspirations behind the flavors. Expect just-caught seafood, farm-fresh produce, and unexpected twists that delight without losing their essence. The setting is warm and unpretentious, letting the food take center stage. A to Z is a love letter to the local region, where tradition meets creativity in every bite. A truly unforgettable experience.

Thank you, Chef, for a perfect dinner the last day in Panama! I loved the home grown and local ingredients. My favorite dish was the triple tail fish and my favorite dessert was the sticky toffee pudding! What a memorable night!!
