Chefs & Catering in Panama
A Dining Experience, Not Just a Meal
Picture yourself on a terrace overlooking the Pacific. A warm evening breeze drifts in as glasses are raised and the aroma of fresh seafood fills the air. In the kitchen, your private chef is preparing every detail — sourcing market-fresh ingredients, plating with care, and turning your villa into a five-star restaurant.
With Book Panama Tours Chefs & Catering, Panama’s flavors come to you. From intimate dinners for two to bachelor weekends, milestone birthdays, or yacht parties, our team of chefs designs unforgettable experiences, tailored to your style and occasion.
Why Choose a Private Chef in Panama?
Panama is one of the world’s great culinary crossroads. Afro-Caribbean spices, Spanish heritage, Indigenous traditions, and Latin creativity all meet here. Add in two oceans providing endless seafood, and you have a country where every meal tells a story.
Hiring a private chef means:
- No taxis. No waiting. No crowds. Just your group, your space, your menu.
- True personalization. From vegan tasting menus to seafood feasts, everything is tailored.
- Celebration at its finest. Whether you’re toasting a birthday, hosting a corporate retreat, or surprising someone special, food becomes the centerpiece.
Our Culinary Philosophy
We believe dining should be immersive: more than food, it’s a story on a plate. Every meal is crafted to capture the essence of Panama, blending tradition with creativity, and turning gatherings into moments you’ll never forget.
That’s why every experience includes:
- Locally sourced, seasonal ingredients straight from Panama’s markets.
- Menus designed around you — no two dinners are ever the same.
- Professional chefs with personality, who bring warmth and storytelling to the table.
- Full-service hosting: shopping, cooking, plating, service, and clean-up.

Chef Kevin
Bold Panamanian Flavor
“I specialize in creating experiences that leave a lasting impression through Panamanian cuisine, bringing the flavors of my homeland to every plate. My passion is to rescue the essence of our gastronomy and transform it into unique moments that connect culture, tradition, and emotion.”
As a Spanish-speaking Panamanian chef, Kevin brings authenticity and storytelling to the table. His menus highlight traditional dishes, like ceviche de corvina, arroz con pollo a la chorrera, and tres leches with raspadura caramel - reimagined with modern flair. Guests love his ability to turn a private dinner into a celebration of Panama’s culinary soul.
