The Restaurants:
La Posta
Calle 49 and Calle Uruguay, Marbella, Panama City
Fodor's Review:
The ambience in this elegant, refurbished house just off Calle Uruguay is classic Caribbean, with ceiling fans spinning over the cane chairs, white tablecloths, colorful tile floors, potted palms, and an abundance of young waiters in white guayaberas (traditional pocketed tops). There is usually Cuban music playing, and the shiny, hardwood bar stretching down one end of the dining room is the perfect place to sip a mojito…http://www.fodors.com/world/mexico-and-central-america/panama/panama-city/review-453519.html
Market
Calle Uruguay and Calle 47, Bella Vista, Panama City
Fodor's Review:
This casual steak house on busy Calle Uruguay, with cement floors and a corrugated metal roof, is an appropriate place to sink your teeth into a cheeseburger or a rib-eye steak. They serve only Omaha beef here, which isn't cheap, nor is it very exotic for American travelers, but if you've got to have a burger, this is the place to go.

La Chesa
20 Calle 49 Bella Vista Panama City, Panama
The cozy environment of La Chesa, a private home converted into a 46-seat restaurant, lends itself to a feeling of exclusivity and homeyness, like being an invited dinner guest at the home of a well-to-do Tuscan family. A prix fixe menu of classic Northern Italian cuisine is complimented by a selection of premium Italian wines, and a chef’s table next to the open kitchen provides an unforgettable experience for special parties.
