The story
La Mar cebicheria in Lima celebrates the traditional seafood shacks that define Peruvian coastal cooking.
Founded by chef Gastón Acurio, the restaurant sits at Av. La Mar 770 in Miraflores as a direct celebration of national maritime culture. The concept honors the diverse ethnic threads woven into the region's food, blending Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Italian, and Andean influences across its ceviche offerings. Guests encounter the work of a team dedicated to combining traditional flavors with innovative techniques.
Dining centers around the establishment's trademark ceviche bar, where raw preparations showcase the day's catch marinated in citrus-based leche de tigre. The kitchen also utilizes a charcoal-fired oven to prepare grilled specialties, including octopus and calamari dressed with native sauces. This layout highlights the breadth of coastal cuisine, moving from bright, acidic presentations to smoky, charred finishes.
Beverages feature pisco as a cornerstone, reflecting the spirit's importance alongside a carefully curated selection of South American wines. The cocktail program anchors on classic expressions while incorporating creations inspired by regional ingredients. This dedication to quality and environmental responsibility earned the venue a two-radish rating from the We're Smart Green Guide in 2026.
