Panama Dining Room

Great venue for any sort of function. spacious and open; loved the leafy decor and large windows. Service was excellent. Food was good but with areas for improvement. Loved the prawn stuffed pepper, bread, and barramundi. Found the beef rib a little too fatty. The roasted potatoes could have been a little crispier. Overall would recommend.

We were lucky enough to recently hold our wedding at Panama Dining Room and I can’t peak highly enough of the professionalism, generosity and warmth of the staff. I hear from lots of brides that they were at their wedding venue until the wee hours the night before the wedding getting everything setup. Our wedding was entirely the opposite experience. Alicia and her team took care of absolutely everything. All we had to do was show up. The team at Panama are absolute rockstars! They completely brought our vision to life. The food was great, the drinks were flowing. Everything was setup perfectly without any intervention from us. We couldn’t have asked for better hospitality partners for this event. We’re both so very grateful to the Panama Team for making our wedding the best possible experience. Can’t wait to come back for our anniversary for dinner! 🤎💚🧡🩵🩷💙 J&M xx

Just had our wedding ceremony and reception at Panama last week. Could not fault the service or professionalism at all. We ended up running quite behind schedule due to an unexpected hiccup that was our fault but Skye and the team were so understanding and just rolled with it, knowing to slow things down and delayed serving the next course to give us time to do our speeches. We absolutely loved our taste-testing and planning meeting. And the wine selection was great! There’s even non-alcoholic wine! Everyone complimented the food! And of course, the venue itself already so picturesque and filled with greenery that we only needed minimal additional decor to add to the vibes. Loved that the ceiling lights were adjustable and staff adjusted to set the mood! So incredibly happy that we had our wedding there. Everyone said it was warm and cozy which was exactly the atmosphere we were going for.

Panama was the perfect venue for our wedding. The venue was beautiful, with the famous arch windows. Also, the communication and coordination from the team (shout out to Clara!) made everything so smooth. Weddings can be a nightmare to organise but the Panama team made it easy and seamless. Food and beverages came out like clockwork, the food was really high quality since Panama is a restaurant as well. Last minute emergencies were also handled by the Panama team superbly. Could not recommend a more beautiful and professional wedding venue. Thank you guys!

Amazing venue in the Northside of Melbourne. Right along the tramline makes it so easy to get to for all guests. Amazing light for photos coming through the famous arched windows. I love being a photographer here for weddings. Food is amazing. Staff are friendly and the vibe is great. Can't wait to be back!

Panama is: A tasteful selection of beautifully presented dishes, a beautiful dining area - especially around sunset time, when the sun enhances the lush green of the outside tree you can admire from the large window. I had an incredible experience dining here. Staff's professionalism and attention was remarkable. The food was of superior quality and the ambience magical. 10 out of 10 for everything!

As a wedding photographer, I have been luckily enough to come back to Panama Dining Room numerous times for multiple weddings and events. Panama was actually the host of my very first wedding back in 2017!!! The beautiful arch windows and stunning lit tree background is perfect for your indoor wedding ceremony. The food is amazing, the customer service is on point! They cater to your every need. Given that it's in the heart of Fitzroy, you are able to go for short walks outside for your couple portraits and everywhere you go, there are multiple opportunities. You cannot go wrong with having your wedding at Panama Dining Room! Cannot wait to go back again!

We had our wedding here Skye and the rest of the staff were lovely, food was fabulous, photos turned out so nice in front of the window. Couldn't have asked for a better night 😊 Thanks team for all your help on our special day 🙏
