Description: The Buena Vista has been a staple in Bocas for over 25 years. It is located over the water in downtown Bocas (Isla Colón). It is open daily from 7:30am until 9:30pm for breakfast, drinks, starters, sandwiches, burgers, salads, and wraps as well as main courses of seafood, ribs, international and vegetarian fare, and house specialties. Although originally opened in 1997, Kelly and Juan Pablo De Caro have owned the Buena Vista Bar and Grill since 2005. In 2016 they moved to a NEW location with an even better view and atmosphere. They only employ Panamanians, many of whom have been with them for over 18 years. By eating and drinking at the Buena Vista, you are helping to directly support ten local families. Here at the BV, we do our best to give you the prompt service you deserve! Thanks for coming!

This restaurant looks really nice with a cousy atmosphere and great view. In potention they could be better but the food was so simple and without passion that is was really sad. The crew is friendly but they are not able the answer most of the question about the menu or dishes. When they improve on knowledge and quality this place would be much better..

Nice atmosphere but the food wasn't very good. We all had large portions, but not one of us cleaned our plate. The bill was $20+ a head. I suggest that you skip this one..

Great for drinks, meals. Clean. Friendly. A good stop while roaming Bocas Town. Say yes to ceviche. Sit at the bar , enjoy the breeze and the view of the water.
