    I was a little worried eating here because it was empty at about 1:30pm? It’s located in a great area and was near my hotel, so I gave it a shot and I was happy I did! The restaurant is beautiful and has a nice view of a park next door. The service was FANTASTIC! Everybody was nice especially my waiter. I ordered the following; melon juice with milk Clams in garlic sauce (almejas al ajillo) Chowder (caldo gallego) Pasta mix with shrimp (Fideua con camarones) That melon juice with milk was amazingly fresh and delicious! I know it’s a little pricey for Panama but I was pleasantly surprised! The clams in garlic sauce was my 2nd favorite dish. Look at all the clams they give you! I ordered too much because Most restaurants only give 12-15 clams but this place gave me so many clams that I was almost full after eating it with the delicious garlic bread they give you. The caldo gallego was a rich chowder. It has like bacon or ham, beans and potato inside which is delicious with bread but heavy. This alone would be a nice meal for lunch with some good bread. The Fideua was very tasty and fresh as well. The noodles were like an angel hair pasta or a thin rice noodle like a “mai-fun” chopped up into small pieces. Delicious flavor overall and was happy taking it home. I would say Cafe Madero and Kyoto Sakaba were the 2 best dining experiences I had in Panama and would highly recommend. Total Price was around $45-47 with tip but this was a meal for 2 because I took 1/2 the caldo gallego and fideua back to my hotel.

    My favorite place for breakfast in Panamá city. Food has the authentic Panamanian flavor, the ambiance has this charming mix of traditional cafeteria but elegant with a peaceful view of the park.. service is formal,, and not that fast but in Panamá thats the way it is, they are always very attentive and say yes to all my special requests I must go to @cafemadero in every trip to 🇵🇦 I love How quiet and private it is to catch up with old friends.

    Good for a business meal, the menu is varied, the food is good, there is a choice for everyone. They have little room for customization, example requesting lettuce with a sandwich instead of bread was a big deal, with the request been denied at the end (can't eat bread). Service varies from good to professional indifferent.

    The service here is very elegant and the environment is perfect for a western business person. The food is pretty bland though and inauthentic. I think they might have a note authentic bread selection in their bread basket.
