The relaxed, thatched-roof loft restaurant at Eco Venao resort is open to the public and caters to beach-goers with an appetite. While surfers usually down the daily special (US$6), you'll find Panamanian specialties on offer as well as huge beef and fish burgers. Breakfast (US$6 to US$9) is especially good here.
