What’s KAANDELA FOR ME?
Un concepto de cocina abierta/fuego abierto donde experimentamos con fermentaciones, ahumados, encurtidos y cocinamos deliciosos alimentos, inyectando nuestro fuego interior a todo lo que hacemos.

A NEVER-ENDING FIRE
Intimate dining, divided in two areas. Our open kitchen bar is the first of these, with 14 seats all at bar level and with direct views of the action unfolding in the kitchen – from the raging fire on our woodfired grills, to the plating and preparation of all our ingredients. The second is our patio and bar area. A tropical garden with fountain, palm trees, bar, wine cabinets and all covered with a glass roof. The patio seats approximately twenty two people. Casual fine dining.
Modern-tropical/artisanal vibe set in a colonial/republican building. I feel like we should keep the general text to a minimum and focus on the visual communication as much as possible
FARM TO FIRE
We don’t like to over define ourselves, rather stay inspired to cook amazing food,
elaborate badass drinks, and serve our guests with pride and attention to detail.
Always searching for the best ingredients as close to home as possible – we have
just added the kaandela farm to the mix. A small 2 hectare farm at 1500m above sea level in Boquete, Chiriqui. We will be growing some of our produce, keeping bees for honey, producing our own coffee and experimenting with new ideas.
Food inspiration with no limits – cooked with Panamanian soul
Guided by intuition and a passion for flavor
Primitive forms of preparation, elegant execution.
