Cerro Brujo Gourmet Restaurant in Volcan in Chiriqui

One of my favorite restaurants in Panama is the Cerro Brujo Gourmet Restaurant in Volcan in the Chiriqui Province of Panama. This restaurant is a treasure not known to many because its remote location, but for all those interested in knowing the country of Panama, I suggest not miss going to this restaurant if you are in the area of Chiriqui.

The first time I went to Cerro Brujo was about 5 years ago and fell completely in love with the place. It is a charming cottage with a garden that any gardener would envy. The land of the Baru Volcano, which can be seen from the property, is one of the most fertile land in the world. From this land grows many of the ingredients that Patricia Miranda, the owner and chef, uses in recipes.

As I drank a glass of wine while waiting for us to get our meal I had the pleasure of talking with the chef, Patricia. I was curious of the name of the restaurant and she me the story that when she did memory tests with friends and they forgot all the names she suggested and was drawn by a hill in the village of Volcan called Cerro Brujo (witch hill) and that was the name that remained in everyone’s mind.

Patricia and her restaurant were recently published in the La Prensa Newspaper of Panama, in their A la Mesa (to the table) supplement.

Cerro Brujo Gourmet Restaurant in Volcan Chiriqui

In late 1999, Patricia Miranda opened her restaurant in Volcan, Chiriqui.

In her 51 years, Patricia is satisfied with her achievements. Cerro Brujo Gourmet gives her free rein to her creativity as the restaurant has a menu that changes at least twice a week to incorporate all available fresh ingredients.

Nestled between the exuberance of a beautiful garden that always gives visitors a warm beauty, Cerro Brujo Gourmet is a place that makes us feel in that vacation cottage we all dream of having.

A good cut of beef is never absent, and next to it we find any fish or seafood, as well as a soup and a salad. The aroma of homemade bread always tempts the senses.

Patricia’s culinary experience is empirical and when she gave started with her son Diego Emilio. It was a great way to spend time together in the years when her work schedule was really intense.

Patricia grew up in Volcan and when choosing where to live, she felt the call of this delightful place where you can do what you love and live as you like.
