The Reef
 
The Reef is pure Bocas. Expect a waiter to frequent your table as regularly as high tide returns to The Reef and not a minute sooner. In Panamanian hands, service tends to be on a pace far removed from the heading-for-a-stroke course most norteamericanos are on. And when the food arrives, it’s really no better than mediocre and it’s pricey for what you get, but something about waiting up an appetite (CQ,) makes the food taste better. |
El Pirate
Some people come from as far away as Costa Rica to enjoy seafood soup at El Pirate. On days when you’ve been really active or otherwise deserve a treat, consider ordering a bowl of the soup and a big red snapper. It’ll arrive with a heap of patacones (plantain slices fried in vegetable oil and salt) and a little salad. Toss it back with a beer and you’re still out the door for less than $15. And now you can put it on your credit card, so it’s practically free! |
