Dear Rene,

Thank you so much for your help in connection with my recent trip to Panama City. Your knowledge of Panama and its history, your great restaurant and native craft recommendations, your companionship and friendship, and most important for your thoughtful kindness to my 91 year old aunt made my trip a wonderful success.

I look forward to seeing you again in a few months. Best Regards, Philip M (Chicago, Illinois)

Panama’s cuisine is indicative of both its northern and southern neighbors. Visitors can find the rice, beans, tamales, and tortillas common to Central America as well as the ceviche (cold seafood soup) and empanadas (fried corn tortillas filled with meat) of South America. The national dish is sancocho, a spicy stew with chicken and vegetables. Seafood is also plentiful and delicious.
