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.

About the restaurant
Nuevo concepto 100% Italiano - Cucina di Mare.
Ubicado en la Avenida Balboa de la Ciudad de Panamá, Filomena te recibe con una vista inigualable. Su diseño es impactante, moderno y pulcro, al igual que cada uno de sus detalles.
Cada uno de los platos tiene una historia, un trayecto, pero sobre todo ingredientes sorprendentes. Traídos directo de Italia o hechos en casa, son la clave para lograr los sabores que te transportan.

About the restaurant
We invite you to join us for our playful exploration of flavour, that is equal parts: intuition and experience. With often primitive methods of concoction such as fermentation, smoking, raw dishes, curing, pickling and the magic and unpredictability of cooking over wood fire – all coming together with elegant execution in dishes designed for sharing and pairing. Purposefully a little disruptive, we take an approach to dining that is fun, and encourages looking at traditional ideas from a new angle. This can be anything from getting stuck in with your hands, to rehashing recipes with funky local produce. We never stand still and continue to evolve – just as fire refuses to hold a single form.

Ambient for a nice and quite dinner is perfect. Really fast service, almost immediate and food was a bit expensive, but tasty. Wine recommendation was awesome and acceptable price.
