• Panamanian • Panama City

Booked 15 times today

We invite you to join us for our playful exploration of flavour, that is equal parts: intuition and experience. With often primitive methods of concoction such as fermentation, smoking, raw dishes, curing, pickling and the magic and unpredictability of cooking over wood fire – all coming together with elegant execution in dishes designed for sharing and pairing. Purposefully a little disruptive, we take an approach to dining that is fun, and encourages looking at traditional ideas from a new angle. This can be anything from getting stuck in with your hands, to rehashing recipes with funky local produce. We never stand still and continue to evolve – just as fire refuses to hold a single form.

Great restaurant, highly recommended! The service, presentation, and the taste of the food are top-notch. On top of that, the restaurant’s interior is truly unique. I genuinely recommend it to everyone who not only wants to eat well but also appreciates food presentation. The service is incredibly friendly. An amazing place and, so far, the best restaurant we’ve dined at in Panama!
