In the center of Panama City, where REPROSA, a cornerstone of Panamanian culture for over forty years, once stood, a new gastronomic landmark has emerged. Awarded as the Best British Restaurant in the area, The Wallace is the latest venture by the talented offspring of a prominent family of jewelers. Aptly named "The Wallace," this establishment is the creation of chef Robert Santomenno Wallace, who seamlessly blends his family's illustrious heritage with his affection for Scotland.

Chef Robert's lineage is steeped in Scottish culinary traditions, tracing back to the early 19th century with ancestors who were revered bakers. His foremost inspiration comes from his grandfather, a dedicated baker and a commissary cook during the Second World War. Sundays in his grandfather's kitchen, filled with the aromas of freshly baked bread and hearty meals, left a mark on him. These memories drive his ambition to replicate a similar ambiance at The Wallace.
