El Ultimo Refugio

Very nice restaurant!
Delicious food, great view, friendly staff.
Dessert was soooo good! (Snickers cake I guess) 🤎
I wish there were more vegetarian options though.

Great place for dinner! It’s right on the waterfront and was the perfect spot to watch the sun set, boats drive by, and, on the night I was there, see the full moon. The staff are also incredible and were super helpful in sharing their favorite dishes from the menu. I got the lobster risotto and it was delicious!

Food, drinks, live music everything was awesome. Everything was tasty, good quality, and perfect portions. I strongly suggest the banana cake!

Great place in Bocas town! Highly recommend. Food was delicious, they change the menu with what is fresh. Live band was awesome and the service was great despite it being a full house.

Amazing place with delicious food! Costumer service is nice and kind! Service speaks Spanish and English. Everything is so clear on the menu! It was the best food in Bocas del Toro. Thank you we will come back tomorrow! 👏🏻🇵🇦💙

Super nice food. Had the tuna and it was really good. My girlfriend had the shrimp risotto, it was nice, but the tuna was better! Big portions and really friendly staff. When we were here they had live music. Recommend this place in Bocas del Toro

Lovely higher-end restaurant with a great outdoor view of paranero and the ocean. They had live music and the menu is displayed on a whiteboard since the menu changes daily.

I tried some appetizers and got the filet mignon for my entree. It was great, though I didn't care too much for the mashed potatoes. The onion rings were a bit different than I am used to but they were good.

Service was amazing! Katherine & her staff are very down to earth people. The food was amazing. We had the gnocchi & the ceviche, along with a few drinks they specialize in: passion fruit & rum and the hibiscus tea cocktail.
Don’t miss this fabulous gem.
The view, the breeze, the food & the service are worth it.

This was a worthy last meal for the end of our Bocas stay! Another restaurant on my list to try and this one did not disappoint. As stated on my other Bocas restaurant reviews, there's seating available over the water as well as inside, just like most Bocas restaurants. We chose to sit inside as there was a light drizzle on and off.

We started our meal with the Patacon Pisao appetizer. Shrimp in passion fruit, curry sauce on top of patacones (twice fried plantains) and topped with pico de gallo. So good and an awesome start to our meal! For our entrees we ordered Passion Fruit Shrimp and Lobster Risotto. The shrimp dish was tasty and had an almost Asian flavor to it. It came with coconut rice and a side of vegetables. As you can see we had an appetizer and an entree with passion fruit as a main ingredient, but both plates had their own distinct flavor profiles. That's what made me enjoy this meal even more. It wasn't the same repeated passion fruit sauce used over again. Now, my favorite dish of the night, the risotto. It was delicious! The tomato, coconut bisque was on point. I swear there must have been 3 lobster tails worth of meat in there too! I almost always finish my plate, even with an appetizer, but I literally had to wrap this up because I was so full from all that lobster.

This restaurant is a must when in Bocas and the prices make it even better!

Was back here tonight for the second time this week. This was the best restaurant we found in Bocas this week. Everything we had on both visits was great. Tonight we had ceviche, the seared tuna, fish fillet and the filet mignot. The filet mignot was as good as a steakhouse in the US or Canada. I normally don’t order beef in Central America. The flavour with the blue cheese sauce and mash potatoes was outstanding. I’d order it again tomorrow if I could! Like I say we loved everything we got. Our first visit was the chicken satay and the passionfruit shrimp.

One word: WOW! Wasn’t expecting so much deliciousness when I walked in. I strongly recommend it and the service is nothing short of amazing.

Really great seafood! The menu options rotate; I highly recommend the mahi mahi and tuna tartar if it’s available. They usually have live music for dinner which creates a nice ambiance.

Very very good food! Hard working staff, we had a really great night here. There was live music that night, the restaurant was packed, but staff still cooked amazing and were fast and friendly.

Came for Christmas Eve dinner without a reservation, we went in at 5, and got a table (solidly booked after 7), ordered tuna and fish of the day, the presentation and tastes are excellent. Entrees are about $18, with the beers, tax, and automatic 10%tips it came out about $50 for two. One of the more expensive meals in Panama, but with it.

Very cute place on the water. Attentive wait staff. Jungle juice was refreshing. Seared tuna on mash potatoes was so delicious and it was a lot of food!! Wanted to try snicker pie but was stuffed from dinner. One of the best meals in Bocas

Great meal. Great service. Great location. Not as much water taxi traffic but still some. Highly recommended

Food was delicious, the staff was friendly and the service was quick! This is a great restaurant.

Excellent fresh seafood, friendly service, and a perfect on the water location. Just north of downtown, so a bit less noisy. No hesitation with this recommendation.

Consistently Great!
My wife and I love this charming on the water restaurant. Chill staff, excellent service, and amazing food. The restaurant was covered with fresh tropical flowers and our view and the nice breeze made for a fantastic night. Local musicians play here often. A must for Bocas. Highly recommend.

Great service and great food. When you visit Bocos you have to go to this amazing restaurant. Not only is the service and food good the view is spectacular.
