Panama City, Panama

Finally, Panama has a place that combines decor, food, and service into a very pleasurable experience. This is a very busy place in Panama, filled with locals and business travellers. La Posta is in a house from the turn of the century, with a long mahogany bar and ceiling fans that give it a very Hemingway-esque look. The food is simple but serious. They do much in a wood-burning oven and fly in fresh crabs and lobster every day from San Blas. One night we saw an exiled South American president there with his bodyguards! A little noisy, but it adds to the vibe. I am on my tenth trip to Panama and I eat here everytime. They have a web site www.lapostapanama.com
