La Mar - Santiago de Surco

This is the place to come for a sumptuous, delectable, and fresh seafood extravaganza! The quantity and quality of fresh fish here is amazing! Service was very attentive and courteous, but not intrusive. A party of 10 sampled almost everything on the menu, and the sea urchin, ceviche, and trucha were excellent! It was served on huge boats and everything tasted freshly caught. Atmosphere is festive, fun, and upscale. We came for lunch. Be sure to make reservations at this place as it is quite busy.

Great seafood options, eclectic and interesting menu, good service, comfortable setting. Their specialities are cebiche and tiradito but they have many other dishes and every one is excellent. I’ve been here maybe a dozen times and have sampled many dishes. It does get busy and they do not accept reservations.

Those who know, know. Those who don’t, don’t. If you are looking for the best ceviche restaurant in Latin America, then you’ve come to the right place. La Mar came recommended by numerous friends around the world who enjoy fresh seafood. When we told them about our planned trip to Peru in the coming months, they had two words, La Mar. We didn’t make reservations, so we had to sit at the bar, which turned out to be an extraordinary experience. We ended up sitting next to a friendly guy named Rey, who it just so happened, to be the primary distributor of fish to the restaurant. He helped us select the best ceviche on the menu, specifically the ceviche trio, which allowed us to sample different types of ceviche, that we would otherwise not have access to. We highly recommend La Mar if you want a great spot for some delicious and authentic ceviche.

Incredible ceviche! We tried the tasting Ceviche menu and it did not disappoint. Our waitress was wonderful and helped us secure a taxi home too.

This is an incredible ceviche restaurant in Lima. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. It's a bit of a treat, but not too expensive. Get there around the time it opens to avoid the wait.
