Enjoy a delicious array of fresh seafood at Caleta, the hotel’s signature restaurant. Seafood options are plentiful in Panama due to the fact that its coastline stretches along both the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. In fact, the very name Panama is thought by many to have come from an indigenous word for “abundance of fish.”

Taste deliciously fresh ceviche at Ammi, the hotel’s Skybar. With 2,857 km of coastline, Panama is heaven for seafood lovers. At the Sofitel Legend Casco Viejo, the waterfront views add to Ammi’s atmosphere making it the perfect place to enjoy this refreshing seafood cocktail. Ceviche is often served with ‘soditas’, traditional salty crackers, and is frequently made with corvina fish in Panama.

Indulge in Panama’s heartwarming national dish, sancocho de gallina. This delicious soup is made with slowly cooked chicken, corn, and root vegetables such as ñame, yuca, and otoe. The secret ingredient, popular in many dishes in Panama, is culantro. This herb is similar in flavor to cilantro, but derives from a separate native plant. Sancocho is traditionally from the Azuero region of Panama and is normally served with white rice.
