Ceviche, Fish, and Seafood

1 La Mar

Gastón Acurio and José Carpena opened this space with the intention of spoiling their guests with the best ceviche in Lima and a menu of seafood dishes that changes depending on the catch of the day. La Mar doesn’t have customers: it has fans, which means it’s not unusual to find a packed house with a line out the door. The wait is worth it, though; your patience will be well rewarded.

2 Costanera 700

Humberto Sato earned a place in the history of Peruvian cuisine with his immense contributions, inherited by his son Yaquir, who has successfully fused his father’s soul with Peruvian and Japanese flavors in what is now known as Nikkei cuisine. This Lima classic boasts a menu of 200 dishes, each one a minimalist yet sophisticated celebration.

Rafael Osterling has taken the treasures of the Pacific and put them on the table with the meticulous, perfectionist nature that is part of his personal style. The catch of the day lies at the heart of this restaurant, which presents refined dishes with references to various parts of the world. But El Mercado, as the chef puts it, is a tribute to Peruvian cuisine.
