Just been to this amazing restaurant last week and have to agree with the above reviews. Try their chicken with prune and goats cheese, wow and lovely lemonade with cinammon, basil and mint.... Lovely place, lovely people and a great way to spend an evening in Bocas, enjoy!!

We stumbled into this little restaurant while wondering around very hungry. I wasn't expecting much but the menu was intriguing. I ordered the large tuna salad, cooked rare of course. I was totally amazed when the plate came out piled high with freshly grilled veggies and the biggest, most perfect piece of tuna I've ever had the pleasure of eating.... More

Been there more than once and never had a bad meal (actually they are very good). At night Bocas Town changes it's flavor and you get to watch from front row seats.

We landed here on our first night in Bocas! At first I felt a little rushed, maybe they were busy and hustling. We were served almost too quickly. We waited for our drinks for a bit too long then dinner was served almost immediately. We had the fish of the day and the grilled veg salad, both were great! I... More

We liked La Casbah. I would not say it was the best food we had in Panama, but it was fun and the menu was interesting. We had the Middle Eastern appetizer plate, which was very good, especially the hummus and roasted vegetables, and the fish in coconut sauce. The fish seemed a little overcooked to us, but the sauce... More

The food and service is consistently great. So many great things on the menu. Few places for a good filet mignon in Bocas. This is one of them. You won't be disappointed.

La Casbah has, by far and away, the best service in Bocas Town. They were very attentive, and, for the first time this week I didn't have to flag someone down for a refill. The food was good and had some nice little twists. We had the steak with blue cheese sauce, and the Greek chicken, both of which were... More

When someone asks me where they can go eat in Bocas, without hesitation, i always say "Casbah"! the food is delicious, the staff is fantastic, their menu offers a little bit of everything for everyone. My favorites include the "casbah plate", the steak and the fish of the day, which are always amazing... but then again, so is the rest... More
