Opened in 2022 by chef Fulvio Miranda, Cantina del Tigre exploded onto the regional dining scene, debuting on Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants with the Highest New Entry Award. The kitchen reinterprets Panamanian and Afro-Antillean home cooking with technique, precision, and a strong sense of place, quickly establishing itself as one of the most talked-about tables in the country.
Seafood and Caribbean flavors lead the menu, headlined by standout dishes such as the rambutan ceviche that helped reset conversations about what Panamanian fine dining can be. Coconut, tropical fruit, local fish, and Caribbean spice run throughout the cooking, which draws on the traditions of Panama’s Afro-Antillean communities and elevates them with a modern, refined touch. The result is food that feels both deeply rooted and forward-looking.
The setting matches the ambition of the plates: a lively, design-forward room that manages to stay warm and inviting rather than austere. The energy of the space complements the boldness of the flavors, making for a dinner that is as enjoyable in atmosphere as it is in taste.
Cantina del Tigre is a must for food travelers and anyone curious about where modern Panamanian cuisine is headed, as well as diners who love vibrant, seafood-forward cooking. Its rapid rise and continued acclaim mean it draws steady demand, so reservations are strongly recommended, particularly for weekend evenings.
