Riba Smith is a long-established, family-run supermarket chain widely regarded as Panama City’s premier destination for imported and specialty groceries. For generations it has been the go-to store for expats, diplomats and locals seeking hard-to-find international products, premium meats and fine imported goods that rarely appear on ordinary supermarket shelves.
Its aisles are stocked with an exceptional range of American, European and Asian brands, artisan cheeses, cured meats, organic and health-food lines, quality wines and a renowned butcher department. The stores maintain high standards of presentation and freshness that set them apart in the local market, and the depth of the imported selection is a large part of why loyal customers make Riba Smith their regular stop.
With several branches across the metro area, plus online ordering and delivery, Riba Smith combines the convenience of a full supermarket with the selection of a gourmet importer. It is especially well suited to expats and newcomers missing familiar products from home, as well as food enthusiasts and home cooks who prize quality ingredients, making it one of the most reliable places in the city to find exactly what you are looking for.
Prices are in US dollars, the currency Panama uses every day, and many branches keep long hours through the week, which suits both quick top-up trips and full weekly shops. For newcomers still learning the city, the chain’s familiar layout and wide branch network make it one of the easiest places to settle into a regular grocery routine.
