Las Bovedas Panama City

Las Bovedas Panama City

Best Restaurant and one of the highlights of my night in Panama City, Panama

I am a Traveler – I am a Foodie and that is how I roll, which in more classy way to say:

I admire authentic cuisine. Often, I travel just to go to the restaurant and have a meal. My favorite places were France and Turkey when it comes to the restaurants.  I just have discovered the new destination, which is only 3 hours away via American Airlines, going from Miami.

Las Bovedas Panama City was on the list to visit.  There were many choices, but the historic aspect of the restaurant was a definitely an attractive feature.

Traveling for many years, I got very picky. When I arrived to La Bovedas, I was pleased with the decor. It reminded me my home town in South Russia. The walls were made with nicely colored real stones. After living in America, the world of artificial and plastic decor in majority places, I could finally breath and enjoy the decor and the quality of the surroundings. The red covers on the tables was a great color to pick and was calling my hunger.

Las Bovedas Restaurant is Panama City, Panama was my first destination where I refuel my energy for the upcoming crazy night of party

Also, I was very pleased with the selection of wines from Argentina, France and other places that I normally choose my fine wine from. The menu has a lot of options for sea food. I was guilty for eating not long ago my lunch at Lebanese restaurant, which was crap. I assumed I would not be able to eat my dishes at Las Bovedas. To my surprised, I finished two appetizers and most of my shrimps, that I topped with a fine cup of cappuccino. The presentation was a state of the art. All the dishes were decorated as if the artist put his hand on it. All the dishes arrived on time and when needed. The service was above average.

I love sea food and vegetables, covered in souses and oils and spices and other yaminess.  Bring me my food and I will indulge myself in its taste and aroma.

My favorite colors to eat, full of passion and heat

The owner of the restaurant, Las Bovedas Panama City, stopped by and said hi to us, telling us a bit more about the history of the restaurant, which I can’t wait to write only travel blog. It is a definite place t return and I highly recumbent to all the visitor to taste the luxurious dishes at Las Bovedas Panama City.

It was an honor to meet the owner of the restaurant, Jose Maria Acha.  The true hospitality of Spanish culture was shown in every way at Las Bovedas Restaurant

Of cause it a a ritual to finish every of my meals with a fine made Cappuccino.  I needed my energy for the crazy night life that was planned at the local clubs …  The taxi driver was waiting for us nearLas Bovedas Panama City to drive us around all night long, club hopping with partying with friends…  I do not have the pictures of that night, for the camera was the last thing I had in mind at that moment of passionate Spanish adventures..

I love coffee!

In the morning, the early short flight was taking me to the Islands to recover and to new exploration and joy of life.

I can’t wait to go to Las Bovedas Panama City on my next visit to Panama.

Old Marco Lodge is located right on the water.  It was a beautiful boat ride towards it.  An ice cold beer in hand, fresh , warm breeze of Gulf of Mexico waters… what else one can wish for?  It is February right now.  Many states and countries are covered in snow.  What would you give right now, just to be in my place?

Old Marco Lodge was built in 1869, the historic Lodge was relocated to its new home on January 4, 1965.

Old Marco Lodge is good to visit at any time, the daytime or at night and have the time of your life.  During the day time, the lunch is quite and somewhat private.  Its is perfect for big families or a romantic couples.  If you to park your boat in the evening, you can enjoy the sunset.  The restaurant is spacious and a lot of seatings a re located outside under the huge umbrellas.  There one can experience the feeling of the breeze from the ocean in Goodland Bay and from the Marco River..  In the evening there is music and dancing, a great entertainment!

Enjoy your vacation!
