Price: Moderate•International•4.9(65)Welcome to Mahalo, created by Canadian sisters Emma & Brit, located in the heart of Casco Viejo, what began as a dream, became a reality.

Mahalo has since branched into two locations, maintaining the original location as a juice bar under the name of Snack Shack, and the new Mahalo Cocina y Jardin with a slightly more intimate cozy setting offering an international menu with the same healthy base. Since opening Mahalo has been seen in Vogue, GQ, Conde Naste Traveler, Lonely Planet and more.Caleta

- AAllisonPanama •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoMy experience was wonderful; the staff members were warm and patient. It was my birthday, and my waiter sang for me. While he was singing, three others joined in. It was lovely, very classy, and perfect for the occasion.More infoPopinoPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Latin• Panama City•4.7

Just a little hard to find on the map—it is in the Hotel Casco Viejo (Sofitel) and they have a lovely rooftop bar for a pre- or post-dinner cocktail.More infoCaletaPrice: Expensive• International• Panama City•4.8
- OTOpenTable DinerToronto / Ontario •2 reviews5.0Dined on Mar 12, 2025Exceptional tapas. Ask for the snack bar menu! We’ll be back on out next trip to Panama City. We shared 8 tapas dishes and had two glasses of Cava (sparkling rose) for under $70. before tax and tip. My wife thought it better than the very good tapas she’s had in Spain. For reference, I do very few comments on here.More infoEl Jardín de GaudíPrice: Moderate• Spanish• Panama City•4.6
