In the restaurant “Pescao” at the Hotel Santa Catalina, our philosophy is always to offer our guests the healthiest food, using local organic products when they are available, with a flavor that satisfies the soul, through the typical Panamanian seafood dishes with a tropical gourmet touch.

It is very common for Panamanians to grow mango, papaya, watermelon, oranges, limes, lemon, avocado, cassava (manioc), pineapple, melon and other fresh fruits and vegetables in their family gardens, so these products can be easily obtained in Most parts of Panama. Panamanians also enjoy a rich culinary heritage that comes from their Colombian and Spanish roots, but thanks to the diversity of our people, traditional Panamanian dishes tend to include a combination of these historical roots with other tropical flares, some from the Caribbean and others of European or North American cooking styles.
