Panama Dining Room

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

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!

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 hosted a friend's wedding recently and they put on an amazing evening. A beautiful venue with considered dishes to match the occasion, catering to everyone's dietary needs

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!

Panama Dining Room is hands down one of my favorite inner-city Melbourne venues for wedding photography! The large windows in the space beautifully enhance its warehouse vibe, creating a stylish and unique atmosphere that's quintessentially Melbourne. The venue's blend of modern sophistication and industrial charm makes it an ideal backdrop for couples looking for something both elegant and distinctly Melbourne. There are tons of great spots nearby as well to get wedding portraits done as well! Not only is Panama Dining Room a visual delight, but the staff is also incredibly supportive and professional, ensuring that everything runs smoothly on the day.

We recently had the greatest honour to celebrate our wedding at Panama Dining Room and couldn't be anymore happier! From enquiring more than a year ago to finally our wedding day, the whole process was smooth and super accommodating. Special shoutout to Julia the Wedding and Events Coordinator. Her knowledge and expertise is evident as it shines throughout the wedding planning and she made us feel reassured every step of the way. She always answered all of our questions no matter how big or small, and we felt very happy to approach her with anything. Julia made the night run seamlessly as she took care of the details and made our wedding perfect. Thank you once again, Julia :) The venue itself is just simply amazing - you can see how wonderful it is from the photos. Beautiful arch windows, delicious food and drinks, lovely staff, everything exceeded our expectations. My husband and I can agree that the menu tasting was one of the hardest decisions we had to make as everything was so tasty! We wished we could have had served everything on the menu. We already had a few guests commented that it was the best duck breast they've ever had. Thank you to Julia, Luke, Tessa, Diego, the bar and wait staff, kitchen staff, Jason, and the team at Panama Dining Room. You all have gone above and beyond for us. We feel truly blessed to have had this amazing team for our wedding and can't wait to come back for our anniversary. Everyone who is thinking about having an event here should definitely go for it. We can't recommend Panama enough :)
