Maito

#18 on Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants 2025. What’s the story? Mario Castrellón was among the earliest chef to introduce the vision of a new Panamanian contemporary cuisine. The first restaurant from Central America to appear in Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants in 2016, Maito is a meeting point for the diversity of cultures, flavours and ingredients of Panama. Its influence in the region is growing so fast that in 2022 it won the Highest Climber Award and this year it maintains its title of The Best Restaurant in Panama.
