Panama, Casco Antiguo,
Casco Viejo, San Felipe
A new
business has opened in Casco Antiguo! It is called "Indigo", an
oriental-mediterranean fusion restaurant between 2nd and 3rd street in Central Avenue. Just by the side of the
Tourism Police and next to the restaurant Manolo Caracol. They are still on
their soft opening week, but Clara and I had the best passion fruit ceviche and
some fantastic Greek empanadas (spanikopida) with goat cheese and a sundried tomato sweet
sauce. The ambiance is mostly Indian mixed with Moroccan, the decoration has lounge spaces to relax, and a bar area and more formal seating if you want to have dinner.
But the best spot is the back patio. Al fresco dinning with the possibility to extend into the Arco Chato ruins, as it has a door connecting the patio with the historical monument. They can arrange for dinners and small private events at the back of Arco Chato.
Talking to Fernando and Katherine, two of the owners of the restaurant, they tell us they can host seating dinners up to 75 people. Cocktails, they can manage so far about a 115. But being able to offer the charm of Arco Chato and the convenience of indoor seating for an event... priceless!

Ps. I think they are planning to open 7 days a week for both lunch and dinner.
