Wonderful journey across Panama and your Taste buds. - This is a must do. Tanya is the chef that creates a fabulous tasting journey of Panamanian cuisine; all small plates so you can try everything and be stuffed by the end. Even catered to my vegetarian needs.. Tanya shares her home and kitchen for this experience. She herself speak English beautifully and provides us a great cultural journey with full explanation along with providing plenty of information about the city and life in Panama. I planning on returning with my wife and am sure we will do this tasting together.

Great experience - Tanya is an amazing person who does lots of food tours as well as her own cooking business. Her mother is originally from Panama so this is her heritage. We enjoyed trying all the different foods as well as some drinks. It was a small group of 4 tonight and it was a great evening. We were stuffed with all the tastings. It took place at her home in a gated community. Very safe location.

Best Food Tour in Town - Whatever preconceived notions you may have throw them away and come for quality food and time. So much love and effort was put into these delicious foods and drinks you learn a lot you laugh a lot and you leave with not only a full stomach but with a lot of knowledge.

An intimate experience with a wide range of flavours and knowledgeable host! - This was a great intimate experience of Panama flavours. Bring your appetite! We did not do the food justice and wish we could have eaten a whole lot more. Loved all the information that the host gave us and wonderful tips on where to shop and eat in Panama. I would recommend this experience for anyone who wants a wide range of typical Panamian food to try.

Perfect first evening in Panama City - An amazing evening at Catherine’s home. The food was absolutely outstanding—authentic Panamanian specialties! Catherine is a fantastic, welcoming host who made me feel at home immediately. I went alone but met two other great guests, making for a very relaxed and cool atmosphere. Highly recommend this for anyone who wants to try Panamanian specialties in a nice atmosphere!

A Gem Experience for Foodies! - This event was a wonderful opportunity to capture a lot of the flavours and culinary approaches to produce that are hard to come by when roaming the streets and looking for vendors/eateries. Tanya, our chef, compiled a menu that reflected different regions of the country, cultural influences, and choices that may be lesser-known to non-locals. Tanya also has a wealth of knowledge and recommendations about places to try, dishes to scout, and ingredients to search for.

A truly local experience - It was truly down to earth and totally local. Being in the ho.e of a Panamanian was a unique experience. Catherine was a great host. She put her heart and soul into creating a truly local experience. Her knowledge was good and the tasting great.
