"Top" Restaurant First Experience in Panama.

"Top" Restaurant First Experience | Panama I passed by this restaurant Caleta several times, located inside the Sofitel Hotel in Panama's Old Town. The restaurant's retro style is unique against the bright colors of the hotel lobby. A friend was visiting Panama and wanted to try this restaurant, so we went together. ✅ I call this restaurant "top" for the following reasons: I The restaurant is located at the tip of the Old Town peninsula, across the bay from Panama City's New Town, which is quite beautiful at night. Caleta means a place by the water, and also means a pier. ✅ This restaurant is the signature restaurant of the Sofitel Hotel, which is the most expensive hotel in Panama City. ✅ The chef of this restaurant used to be the head chef of a Michelin-starred restaurant in Italy, which is quite a big deal in Panama. ✅ With great interest, the final experience was hard to describe. This restaurant has done a great job in terms of form, but the food is not so good. If you are entertaining clients or on a date, the three "top" reasons for this restaurant can give your guests a lot of face. But if the other person is more particular about food, it's best to think twice. 🖼 Restaurant environment: ✅ The overall style of this restaurant is new as old, with an interior that mimics the interior of an early ship, with a classic style and a touch of romance. The wall decoration mirrors are painted with an antique finish, adding a hazy mood, as if you are back in the early days of the canal, embarking on a dream of time. ✅ The menu of this restaurant is very simple, which is a common practice of Michelin or high-end restaurants, only making selected dishes. I asked the staff, and this restaurant is a fusion restaurant, incorporating Panamanian elements into European cuisine. From the presentation of the dishes, you can see the chef's determination to be different. The fish and lamb wrapped in clay, although slightly funny, are full of ritual. When serving, the plates are preheated according to the requirements of the ingredients, which shows the seriousness of the guests. Even the bread before the meal is baked and then covered with sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. ✅ Unfortunately, the quality of the food is really hard to compliment, we can only assume that the chef is on vacation. If there is a good dish, it may be the bread before the meal, which is really baked with a dry aroma of grains. Friends who are interested can also try it, welcome to share your experience.
