Paseo de Las Bóvedas

Casco Antiguo, Panama City, Panama

Ambiance is the key to this Panama City restaurant’s popularity—surprising given that the restaurant’s setting is in a former dungeon. During the early days of Casco Viejo, the structure did, indeed, serve as a jail; now, the cells serve French dishes to a discerning crowd. If you’re not taken with the idea of dining in a vault, ask for an al fresco table adjacent to the lovely Plaza Francia.
