    We ordered the nine course tasting menu which included two dessert courses and were not disappointed. Food, service and ambiance (we ate in the covered out door patio) were all excellent. A memorable meal and dining experience as well as a great introduction to modern Panamanian cuisine.

    Properly greeted and seated. Our server introduced himself and shared the story behind the food. Answered all our questions and helped us choosing our food. We had the two types of dumplings and the cochinita Pibill to start and all our mains were excellent! Amazing experience! Gracias !

    Review of Maito Restaurant, Panama City, Panama From the moment you step into Maito, you know you’re in for a special culinary experience. Located in Panama City, this contemporary gem seamlessly blends innovation with tradition, offering a menu that is both daring and deeply rooted in Panamanian flavors. The ambiance is elegant yet relaxed, with modern decor that creates an inviting atmosphere. The staff is exceptionally attentive, providing impeccable service throughout the meal. They take the time to explain the unique ingredients and techniques behind each dish, making the experience feel personal and educational. The food itself is where Maito truly shines. Every dish is a work of art, showcasing the best of Panamanian produce with global influences. The tasting menu is a must-try, offering a journey through vibrant and unexpected flavor combinations. The highlight of the evening was the ceviche – a refreshing, perfectly balanced dish that married local seafood with innovative textures and flavors. The tenderloin with plantain was another standout, a delicate and rich dish that embodied the heart of Panamanian cuisine with a sophisticated twist. Maito also does an excellent job with its drink pairings, with cocktails that reflect the local culture and ingredients, adding to the immersive experience. In short, dining at Maito is a must for anyone in Panama City. It’s a place where exceptional culinary skill meets genuine passion for the flavors of Panama. Whether you’re a foodie or simply looking for a memorable night out, Maito offers an unforgettable experience that’s worth every penny.
