Richard (owner and pastry chef) was a corporate pastry chef for many years. He married a Panamanian woman and moved here several years ago, much to the delight of locals. He's open for breakfast and lunch most days and offers several fresh baked breads, pies, cakes, donuts, cookies...you name it. And his breakfast and lunch menus are wonderful. Indoor or outdoor seating. A great way to meet up with new friends and find out more about living in Boquete.

The very BEST in local seafoods are served in an informal atmosphere by Mingo and his staff. Everything from giant prawns (called Langostinos), Caribbean lobster, mahi-mahi, sea bass, snapper, salmon in many different preparations. And for a REAL treat, order Mingo's Weinerschnitzel. That's right! Made from pork instead of veal and breaded and served in a garlic/lemon sauce. YUM.. The Fish House is located immediately across from Sugar n' Spice on the main road into town.
