What a find. Very small (4 tables) open air restaurant in front of a very small kitchen. This is above a small sari-sari store after about 3km down a dirt road. The one person there is the owner, cook, server, busboy and cleanup crew. The menu is on a chalk board, although they claim to offer burgers and fries, but why would you want that? Mediterranean food with a killer view halfways up the mountain above Boquete. We had a tomato and cucumber salad, tabouleah, hummus, flalfels, chicken kabobs and flatbread. The hummus was smooth and delicious. The chicken was lightly spiced and cooked to perfection, done through and still moist. Everything was very fresh. Portion sizes were good and the price was very reasonable. The location is going to keep too many people from going there which is fine with me.

Great meal at this tiny restaurant.
Brave the dirt road, the adorable husky puppy who attacks your shoe laces, sit down at the tables made out of 55 gallon drums with table tops mounted on them and enjoy a feast from the chef/server/owner.
I’m wowed.

My wife is vegan and I brought her here for her birthday and it was absolute perfection! Food and service were impeccable. Falafel, tabouleh, babaganoush, dolmas, hummus… and that bread! Wow. Everything was amazing. I also got some chicken shishkabob and beef something or others that were straight up meat candy. Ofir was super friendly and really made our evening fantastic. I should’ve tipped him more! We’ll have to go back soon. I owe him.

We were recommended this off the beaten path restaurant and were not disappointed. The Mediterranean food was amazing. The owner was very friendly and a pleasure to talk to.

We had a wonderful evening with Ofil in the "basar"!
He is very hospitable and has cooked us incredibly delicious Israeli food! In addition, he has revealed to us much about himself and Boquete, which was very interesting and also funny! You can taste that he prepares it with love and fresh ingredients.
It was really one of the best meals so far on our trip through Panama. We can really recommend it to everyone!
We wish you all the best!
Do call ahead of time if you can… especially in the slow season.
We had such a great time eating here and talking with Ofir(?)the owner. It’s just a shack on the side of the street with a very small mini super below and a few tables upstairs. He set out a huge spread of everything for us… all Vegan!We had no idea what to expect and the food just kept coming and coming:). We paid $30 for all…. Babaganoush, Falafel, fresh baked pita, hummus, salads, grape leave rice wraps, tomatoes and cuyes …. What else…?!!! And after the taxi ride up, we walked down the pedestrian stairs back to town. Best you check out the pedestrian walk way before you try it at night. Although it is lit quite well, the first part at the very top is a “road”and you do need to know where it joins Jaramillo Road, and it is not lit as well at night.Have a crazy good time!

Delicious! Small little place. We shared the platter of mezze and it may have been the best hummus I've had. Very healthy, yummy, and different food from what you will find elsewhere in town. We paid about 25 dollars for the plate of food and a few beers. He sells fresh fried fish on Mondays and this was also delicious!
