Panamanian cuisine reflects its diverse cultural influences. Start with “Quisiera pedir…” (I’d like to order…). Must-try dishes include sancocho (chicken soup) and carimañolas (yuca fritters). For ceviche, try “Corvina” (sea bass) or “Pulpo” (octopus). “Seco” refers to a traditional rum drink. “Con culantro” means with cilantro, a common herb. Tipping 10% is customary in restaurants. “La cuenta, por favor” gets you the bill. Don’t miss trying the fresh seafood in Panama City’s fish market!
