Maito Panama City

Maito is on C. 50 in Panama City, a fifteen-minute walk from the Cinta Costera. It currently holds the title of the best restaurant in Panama according to Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants.

The restaurant serves contemporary, creative South American cuisine in a room that runs smart and elegant. While the city’s dining scene is currently concentrated in the historical, tourist-heavy streets of Casco Viejo, Maito succeeds by being elsewhere. Its location off the well-trodden path offers a focused departure from the noise of the old quarter, making it the choice for diners who prefer the menu's ambition over a neighborhood's atmosphere. It is the only place in the city to earn the specific recognition of its ranking, and that distinction is the reason to travel beyond the landmarks.
