Azahar is an incredible restaurant located in the heart of Avenida Balboa in a luxurious complex, called Torre Yoo Panama by Philip Starck. From the seventh floor, it conquers its visitors with a spectacular view of the bay and the City.
Hidden underground, it evokes the famous “speakeasy” concept that flourished in 1920 in NYC. The restaurant is hidden behind a boutique florist ¨Madame Butterfly¨. As you walk through a cold room door, which appears to be a flower fridge, this imposing concept welcomes you.
Haute cuisine at its finest. Signature cuisine of a western European style with important Asian influences. Innovative, sophisticated, and avant-garde ideas, an exquisite sushi bar, and versions of traditional dishes that break the mold of the usual.
In Azahar, you can find Japanese fat belly bluefin tuna, for a spectacular Otoro nigiri, hamachi, fresh Norwegian salmon, a Mediterranean branzino, cuts of meat, homemade pasta, risottos, and many signature dishes that surprise diners with something new, extravagant, and delicious.
Enjoy an impressive wine cellar with a wide range of extraordinary and vintage labels by the glass, making use of a sophisticated vacuum system. Find the best of both worlds and savor homemade handcrafted cocktails. Azahar is full of eccentricities such as great tequilas, liqueurs from the East, a gin cart with a variety of more than 40 labels, small-batch craft gins from different latitudes, fresh botanicals and flowers from the Amazon, and much more.
Some of the favorite cocktails are the tequila-based Roasted Pepper, Morita chili liqueurs, and home-roasted ancho chili that give this a particular touch. Then we have Sangria N ° 7 which is quite a sensation. Made from gin and lychee and combined with a White Zinfandel wine. Perfect to accompany sushi. Lastly, the signature Gin Tonic. Gin infused with butterfly pea flower and cardamom, mixed with the fragrances of coriander, flavored with orange peel that makes this cocktail a simple, colorful and perfect mix.
The kindness of good service, a modern atmosphere that alludes to the trend and elegance with a unique vibe, from an impressive gastronomic proposal, make Azahar a formidable and unique restaurant in Panama City.
