Leños & Carbón — Local services in Ancón

After a long day of exploring the Atlantic side we decided to relax for a night of dining. This place hit the spot! Our server spoke English which was awesome! Their menu is huge! (It's a 2d barcode you scan with your phone)

We started with the Peruvian sea bass ceviche WARNING ⚠️⚠️ this is not an appetizer for one! This could have easily fed 4! It was delicious but we felt terrible we couldn't finish it.

My main was the salmon lychee, absolutely delicious. Its a perfectly cooked salmon paired with some lychee sauce and wine sauce. Nothing I ever tasted before. It comes with 4 sides! So beware not to order too much before, its a lot of food!

We also had the pollo ala brasa (chicken cooked like bbq) it was juicy and tender! Also came with 4 small side dishes!

It was a lovely atmosphere with a wonderful breeze. We came in around 845pm on Thursday night and had no wait. Sat right next to the water, a beautiful view! The music was pleasent and the atmosphere was quiet and upbeat. Great place for a date or a...

The wait staff is great and friendly. They accommodated our large group with a positive attitude and made sure we got a table quickly, even offering seating for us while we waited. The food arrived quickly and the view is always so lovely.

However, three people from our group who all shared a plate of the deditos de pollo from the kids' menu, including two small children, got very sick within a few hours of eating lunch here.

The woman just said, "Our food is the highest quality and no one else has complained. We will review the issue with our providers." A little sympathy in a situation like this could...

This franchise is known as a place that uses wood and charcoal to cook some of their dishes. I have tried the stewed chicken, grilled salmon, fried snapper, steak and can say that they were all very good. However, the chicken fajita I will likely not order again.

The environment is casual dining offering upscale food fit for a top franchise. Comfortable dining area with nice tables and chairs. This reminds me of the popular franchises back in the U.S. where people go to eat and relax after work.

The location is the best asset of this branch. All the way at the end of the amador causeway islands, the view from the seating area is that of a boat dock. I went at night and found the gusts of wind to bring pleasant, cool fresh air into the dining area. As an added bonus, this place is about fifty feet from the ocean side. Simply walk for several seconds to reach the lookout point with a scenic view of the city. Free parking with large...
