La Barbara is hands-down one of my go-to spots in Casco. I regularly bring clients here, and they always make sure the experience is on point. The vibe, the food, the cocktails—everything is consistently excellent. Whether it’s a business night out or just good company, this place never misses. I highly recommend.

About the restaurant

Somos una panadería tradicional austriaca de panes de masa madre. Utilizamos granos como: centeno Waldstaude, Emmer y Espelta de Niederösterreich una provincia boscosa al norte de Austria. Gracias a nuestra cuidadosa selección de ingredientes y énfasis en nuestros procesos de producción y elaboración. Nos hemos convertido en la primera panadería que consta con una certificación orgánica en Panamá, sumada a la certificación Demeter, otorgada por la Unión Europea a aquellos productos que cumplen estrictamente con las normas de agricultura biodinámica. Buscando maridar nuestros panes con ingredientes igualmente excepcionales, desarrollamos un menú bistro, una propuesta purista, orgánica y saludables que va desde tostadas francesas, ensaladas, sopas, “tostas” y “pastries” de masa madre. Contamos con una barra de café panameño de especialidad, que incluye variedades como el Catuaí, Caturra, Pacamara, Geisha o Maragogype. También usamos café de otras fincas para filtrados.

Overall good experience, it was a table for one. Unfortunately they didn’t have the kobe carpaccio on their menu, but it was on their menu online. Good cocktails, great service from Anna and a beautiful bar where you can dine outdoors as well in private sections I think. Good for a romantic evening.
