Kosher Restaurants in Panama City, Page 2
Panama City has one of the most kosher-observant Jewish communities per capita in the Americas, and it shows: the official certifier, Sociedad Israelita Shevet Ahim, lists roughly 90 certified establishments across the city. Options run the full range, from glatt-kosher grills and rooftop steakhouses to Israeli street food, sushi bars, dairy cafes, pizzerias, bakeries and full kosher supermarkets. Almost everything is clustered in the Punta Paitilla, Punta Pacifica, San Francisco, Obarrio and Bella Vista areas.
Nearly all kosher dining is within or near the Paitilla eruv, walkable from the community's shuls. The live, authoritative certified list is maintained at kosher.com.pa (Spanish uses carne=meat, lacteo=dairy, parve=pareve, and 'Jalav Israel'=Chalav Yisrael). Certification status changes, so verify hours and current standing on kosher.com.pa before Shabbat and holidays; two locations (Milk & Honey, Morton's Bakehouse) are in Boquete, not Panama City.
