Super Gourmet Casco Viejo
Super Gourmet Casco Viejo is one of my favorite places in Panama City to eat and hang out. It is a friendly little place that sells a selection of deli items, wines, snacks, some hard-to-find groceries and an excellent selection of sandwiches and salads. They also have daily specials including a soup of the day and treats like meat loaf, chili con carne, smoked salmon pasta salad and buffalo chicken wing dip.
The atmosphere is super laid back and it's quite a community meeting spot, with expats living in the neighborhood generally stopping by for breakfast, lunch or dinner most days.
On Saturdays, Super Gourmet hosts a barbecue party, when people gather for the street-side grill-fest featuring delicious sausages, hamburgers and chicken shish-kebabs. Again, quite a community gathering, Super Gourmet plays good music and has cheap, ice-cold beer. Definitely worth stopping by when you're in Panama City at the weekend.
Super Gourmet is located on Avenida A, next to the Canal Museum
