Discover Authentic Flavors and Vibrant Local Life on a Panama City Street Food Adventure


Embark on a culinary journey through the heart of Panama City, where the true essence of the local culture is found in its bustling markets and street-side stalls. This walking experience takes you far beyond the typical tourist restaurants, allowing you to connect directly with the people who define the city's unique gastronomic identity. It is an intimate look at the flavors, colors, and rhythms that make Panama a vibrant destination for food lovers.


The adventure begins at the famous Seafood Market, where you will sample three distinct varieties of fresh ceviche, a staple of the coastal diet. From there, the route winds through the historic San Felipe Neri Market, a treasure trove of Afro-Caribbean influences. Here, participants can taste tropical juices, authentic Geisha coffee, and spicy local sauces. Each stop is carefully curated to provide a genuine connection to the ingredients and traditions that have shaped Panamanian cuisine over many generations.


As you continue along the historic Avenida Central, you will visit a traditional bakery and enjoy local delicacies like tamales, which are prepared using time-honored techniques. The tour then moves into the neighborhood of El Chorrillo, where you will savor tasting portions of coconut fish, BBQ chicken, smoked chorizo, and escabeche fish. These dishes represent the diverse culinary heritage of the city, offering a savory exploration of the local life that thrives in these authentic urban spaces.


This experience is designed as a tasting tour rather than a full meal, focusing on discovery and connection rather than fine dining. It is perfect for those who want to understand the soul of Panama City through its food. Whether you are sipping a refreshing juice or enjoying a local rum cocktail, you will gain a deeper appreciation for the community and history that make every bite in Panama City a truly memorable and authentic experience.

What an amazing afternoon! Our family, 2 adults and 2 teens, cooked some wonderful Panamainia cuisine and received a great history lesson as well. I highly recommend this if you like food and learning about other cultures. The owner and chef is fantastic and friendly. Great activity to pair with a coffee tasting (which is also available in the same space)

Attended one of Ana’s cooking classes with a group of about 15 people and we had a blast! Ana and her team made the experience both fun and informative. We learned about the history of Panamanian cuisine and tried some local snacks and appetizers before making our own tamales. Every part of the experience was well thought out. 10/10 would recommend to anyone traveling to Panama and wanting to understand the country and its cuisine better! Thank you Ana!
