We loved this restaurant. The ambient was beautiful and very well organized. The staff very friendly and welcoming. The food was the star of the show for sure. We loved the fish coocoo. It was just delicious and mouth watering. Would get it again for sure. We liked the curry as well, but not as much as the fish stew. The dock and the beach are also beautiful. A must visit.
The food and drinks were amazing! Beautifully presented, local gourmet cuisine on a small Caribbean island in the Bocas archipiélago. We were there for a private event and that's what you are in my photos
Sophisticated and tasty, this well-curated menu hit the spot when it came to island cravings and picky eaters. We had a delightful breakfast and dinner at Michilá’s. We had an extremely picky eater in our group, she has been dreaming about the veggie curry she had at Michilá’s. I have a huge appetite and was skeptical that the small plates would satisfy me, but they absolutely did. The rich dinner plates were flavorful and satisfying. We enjoyed this tart and crunchy cookie and passion fruit sorbet that was a nice end to the meal. The property is also very clean, relaxed and bohemian chic!
I am also one who rarely reviews a restaurant but, as most of the other reviewers have indicated, Receta Michilá is a real find. The dishes are artistic creations blending flavors and textures. We are staying next door at the Faro Colibri acquatic lodges and are eating at the Receta Michilá for our 4th meal in a row (lunch and dinner). Of special mention so far (as we work our way through the menu) is the goat ravioli with a savory turmeric infused basil sauce (calling it pesto does not do it justice), and the mesquite smoked BBQ pork special. About to have our 4th meal served so can update on today’s choices. Update: had to go back to the goat ravioli but also tasted the creamy rice seafood (coconut milk, clams, shrimp) and beetroot salad. Another mention was the roasted pumpkin hummus. Deserts were excellent as well (jackfruit ice-cream and chocolate mousse. Also, the cocktails are amazing. Special mention to the passion fruit mojito and the turmeric twist.
