The menu here is written on a big board hanging on the wall. There are always around eight or nine different dishes to choose from, all inspired by Panamanian cuisine but with a twist that brings together the diversity of cultures and flavours which makes displace stands out by far from many others in Panama.

Fonda Lo Que Hay - Casco Antiguo, Panama

At Fonda Lo Que Hay as its name says, whatever is there is served. Do not expect to find waiters, everyone takes their cutlery from the basket and their cold beer directly from the fridge. Although every few week the menu usually varies, there are dishes that have been left at the request of the public and are a must of Lo Que Hay.
 
In the first step: Toasted Yucca of tuna carpaccio with onion ceviche! Followed with Grilled chicken prey bathed in cream of potatoes and tubule sauce, accompanied by crispy potato thread! For dessert, the must is the scraped ice (yes ice!) served with condensed milk and milkshake. It comes in three flavors: passion fruit, tamarind or guava. The portion is prepared for two people, but probably you will not want to share after having first bite.
