Since 2016
Marula opened in 2016. Chef-driven cooking with a Panamanian touch, on Level 3 of the Casa Casco building, above Plaza Herrera.
Without ceremony
Marula is a fine dining restaurant, though what we are strict about is the flavour, not the dress code. Chef-driven cooking with a Panamanian touch, chosen produce and rigorous technique, served without solemnity.
The menu takes risks, but never insists. The same table has room for someone ordering the usual cut and someone who came to eat something they could not describe.
Jeison López
Jeison López is Colombian and learned his craft where it is truly learned: in the kitchen, one service after another. Today he leads the kitchen at Marula, where Panamanian produce meets techniques and spices from half the world. His signature is on the plate: direct flavour, exact cooking and a presentation that needs no explanation.
