El Patio Mexicano - The reputation of Mexican cuisine has had to survive the onslaught of the fast food age and the "Taco rápido" image. In Panamá, true Mexican cuisine is not only surviving but flourishing, at El Patio Mexicano run by the Uribe family from Guadalajara. At El Patio Mexicano you will get the best of the flavors for which Mexico is famous. The restaurant is authentic down to the hand-painted crockery and "equipale", leather covered furniture. Historic photos of México form a keynote of the attractive country-style decor. Interesting dishes include "Enchiladas divorciadas", in red and green; Cochinta Pibil, a pork dish from Mérida, featuring orange juice and achote. A final tip: ask for "mole poblano".

Eurasia - This restaurant is exquisite in decor, atmosphere and food. The cuisine is a supremely good example of what has become known as "fusion" - in this case an artful blend of the best of European and Asian. It can be difficult to identify the source of the flavors and textures, sometimes subtle, sometimes gloriously strong. What you do know for sure is that there is a good brain at work back there in the kitchen. Eurasia is on the first floor of a mansion of elegant proportions with high ceilings and windows. Spectacular paintings and artfully-placed foliage complete the comfortable ambiance.
