EL ACUARIO
El Acuario is Ordovician’s signature fine dining restaurant on Isla Grande, Panama. Set on an open-air second-floor terrace above the Caribbean, it brings together fresh seafood, seasonal produce, and ingredients from the resort’s own garden with Asian-inspired technique.
The menu follows the island and the season, from lobster and the day’s catch to herbs, papaya, and produce harvested just steps from the kitchen. Refined, expressive, and deeply connected to its setting, El Acuario is where sea, garden, and technique meet on the plate.
DINING ABOVE THE CARIBBEAN
The second-floor terrace places dinner above the sea, with open views and an intimate sense of space. As evening settles over Isla Grande, fresh seafood, wood-fired preparation, delicate acidity, and seasonal ingredients shape a dining experience designed around the Caribbean rather than apart from it.

Dinner: 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM

STIVEN HERNÁNDEZ
Chef Stiven Hernández brings more than 17 years of experience, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a deeply personal connection to Panamanian flavors to Ordovician. As Executive Chef of the resort, he works closely with the garden, local producers, and the sea to shape menus around seasonality and freshness.
At El Acuario, his approach becomes more expressive: Caribbean ingredients meet Asian influence, precise technique, and his instinct for creating food that feels refined without losing its sense of place.
