Palo Alto Restaurant

Palo Alto Restaurant

After visiting the Kotowa coffee plantation, we wanted a quiet lunch away from town. Hans dropped us off at Palo Alto, a restaurant with varied international items in the menu. They also have several wine bottles to choose from. As soon as you walk in, you'll immediately notice that Palo Alto is a step up from all the other restaurants on Avenue Central.

I don’t know why I was craving pasta while I was in Panama but I knew I wanted my vegetable intake after a few days of fried foods. Their spaghettini with roasted vegetables satisfied all my senses. The boy ordered the Swiss burger with mushrooms and sautéed onions, a perfectly good match with a cold bottle of beer.

Behind the restaurant is the running river, and if the one table outside wasn’t occupied, we would have sat right by it. We settled inside instead with our Balboa beers. Our guide book noted its slow service, but when we were there, we didn't wait too long for our food because it was fairly quiet and empty. The restaurant is airy and spacious. I could imagine that it’s an even nicer setting for dinner. We never had the chance to return because we wanted to try the other restaurants in the area, but for a quiet, riverside dining, Palo Alto is your best bet.
