This was my main spot to eat during our time in Bocas. The food was excepcional and service from Marty made us feel like we were family! Perfect little spot on the bay to spend your time! Pricing is good and sooo many options on the menu I highly recommend stopping in - The breakfast is delicious. The meat was great the bread was a bit too rich for my taste thought. Great view as usual here and they have mimosas Delicious Breakfast with an Ocean View Casa Papaya is a gem! I tried their pancakes and eggs with waffles for breakfast, paired with a delicious cup of coffee—all for just $13. The food was perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. The service was excellent, attentive, and friendly. The location is unbeatable, right on the main street with a beautiful ocean view. It’s also super convenient if you’re waiting for transport like Taxi 25, the water taxi. Their menu is diverse, offering three exciting fusions: brunch, Japanese cuisine, and Peruvian dishes. Whether you’re looking for a hearty breakfast or something unique later in the day, Casa Papaya is the perfect spot. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Experience at Casa Papaya We had a fantastic time at Casa Papaya! Our server, Martin, was exceptional—so friendly, attentive, and professional. He made sure we had everything we needed and made the experience even more enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish we tried was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The staff overall was incredibly friendly, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. On top of that, the prices were very reasonable for the quality of food and service. We highly recommend Casa Papaya and will definitely be coming back soon!

We visited Casa Papaya three times to eat and have drinks. The place is made up of a group associated restaurants, offering a diverse and delicious menu. It's the perfect spot thanks to its stunning ocean view. The breakfast was of exceptional quality, something that might be hard to find elsewhere on the island.
