Maito

Panama City, Panama

• No.6 Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants 2023

Panama’s foremost fine-dining establishment is helmed by Mario Castrellón, whose perseverance in putting Panamanian ingredients on the culinary map ensures Maito’s place as a regular on Latin America's 50 Best list. Sourcing sustainable products from indigenous communities, he creates colourful dishes based on traditional cuisine: think coconut-infused dumplings and local staple sancocho soup. The à la carte menu is divided between land and sea (‘tierra’ and ‘mar), but there is an option to tackle a degustation tasting as well.
