    Lovely place. Such delicious French food and great prices. We come here a lot in the evenings and it's usually not busy but it definitely should be. Stylish decoration, tasty food and a rarity in Panama, attentive waiters.

  • 5/5 German T. 4 years ago on Google
    A nice corner of St Germain in the heart of the Old Panama City. Outstanding French food, ambiance and service. Our server, Fortunate is his name, is just awesome. Kudos to a well run restaurant!

  • 5/5 Carl J. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent traditional French food in a nice environment. You may think you have been transported to Paris, and it shows that the owner grew up there. We had steak tartare, mussels, pate, and Dover sole, accompanied by a bottle of Chateneuf de Pape. Everything was delicious, even dessert, and the service was great as well. This is a treasure we are lucky to have in Panama.
