If you are visiting the highlands of the Province of Chiriquí in the Republic of Panama, and you begin to feel hungry, I know one of the best restaurants in the area. Not only is the site where the venue is located spectacular, but also the food is delicious.
Once you get to Hotel Finca Lérida, you can’t miss the site of the restaurant. There are convenient signs indicating the route to the building, so you don’t have to worry about getting lost. Chow time will be always on time.
The chef’s name is Gean who’s assisted by Jose Luis and young and sweet Estibalis . Two dynamic waitresses will take your order; Kathy and Linette, faster than you can wink an eye. If you wish, you can order inside the restaurant or cuddle at an adjoining terrace cafe with a magnificent view of flowers, purple mountains and manicured lawns.
Below are several pictures of the gourmet restaurant of Hotel de Montaña Finca Lérida. Once you eat here I know you will return and return and return for more. Here we go.

Take notice of the lush gardens and tropical vegetation around the area of Finca Lérida. On the slopes of the mountains you will find dark green coffee plants. This high quality coffee is exported to the United States, Canada and Europe. Photo by ©Omar Upegui R.
