In-Depth Information
(Calle 5; pizzas US$10; noon-10pm Mon-Sat)
These fresh pizzas with toppings such as arti-
chokes, kalamata olives and gorgonzola satisfy big appetites. Sardinian-run, Alberto's is
a favorite local haunt where you can even play ping-pong while anticipating your dinner.
Om Café
INDIAN $$$
(cnr Av E & Calle 2; mains US$6.50-15; 8am-noon & 6-10pm Fri-Tue)
Guaranteed to make your
brow sweat, this welcoming Indian cafe cooks up classic curries and vindaloo with crisp
hot naan. Service may be slow, so order up one of the original cocktails to keep you com-
pany (we like the Tipsy Turban - a dizzy mix of passion fruit, rum and sugar).
Look for a new Thai restaurant from the same owner on Calle 3.
La Casbah
MEDITERRANEAN $$$
( 6477-4227; Av H; mains US$8-15; 6-10pm Tue-Sat)
Popular with locals and travelers
alike, this Mediterranean restaurant serves up gazpacho, goat-cheese salad and well-pre-
pared meats and seafood. The fish of the day comes in cucumber and coconut sauce, and
there's a nice baked veggie plate for non-meat-eaters. Reserve ahead.
Buena Vista Bar & Grill
AMERICAN $$$
(Calle 1; mains US$7-13)
The best burgers on the island, nachos and brownie sundaes with
local chocolate… you can see why this seaside cafe hauls in hungry expats. Run by a
welcoming Panamanian-American couple, it is a good bet for a decent bite and may be
the only spot around where service can be swift. Dinner ups the ante with a surf-and-turf
menu.
El Ultimo Refugio
SEAFOOD $$$
( 640-1878; Av Sur; mains US$8-13; 11:30am-10pm)
This rustic, mellow American-run
place on the edge of the sea specializes in seafood dishes. Service is friendly and the
tranquil location makes it a great spot for a quiet, romantic dinner out.
