Shabbat meals in Panama City
Most kosher restaurants close for Shabbat, so Friday-night dinner and Shabbat lunch are at the Chabad house. Register ahead - most close bookings by Thursday.
Tip: book a stay within an easy walk of the Chabad house - for a relaxed meal and a short, pleasant stroll back.

Panama City's main community is Shevet Ahim. Super-K in Punta Paitilla is the kosher supermarket: shop there and take food out, including for Shabbat. El Nacional on Vía Israel is a restaurant under Shevet Ahim. Ask there if a dish is dairy or pareve. For Shabbat, better to sleep near Punta Paitilla so you can walk to the supermarket and the synagogue. Chabad hosts; call ahead.
Stay in the kosher area of Panama City
Panama City does not have one obvious Jewish quarter. Chabad of Panama City (Chabad house listed on the site) is the anchor - book a hotel within walking distance of it rather than picking a random part of Panama City.
If you complete your booking there during this same visit, we earn a small referral commission from the partner - at no extra cost to you.
