Visited La Mar (currently #30 on Latin America’s 50 Best List) on a recent trip to Peru and was really impressed with the meal! It’s not fancy by any means, it’s chaotic, loud, busy, and definitely a bit overwhelming, but the food is fantastic and the vibe is really fun. Definitely surpassed my expectations!A few highlights:
Of course, the ceviches are fantastic. We got 3 different ones and my favorite was the uni ceviche (I can’t imagine how much it would cost if it weren’t in Peru)
All of their raw seafood was phenomenal, we had their scallops and their Peruvian poke bowl, everything is super fresh and light
The pescado a la brasa was unreal — just simply cooked on the grill, a beautiful sauce, and this dish was gone very quickly
I would say that it is best to come to La Mar with a group of people (we were there with 4 people) because you’ll want to get a lot of food and a lot of it is meant for sharing so you can try a lot of different menu items. It’s not a tasting menu or anything super fancy, but it’s a great time with great food and a lot of local Peruvians also love going there even though it’s become a hit with tourists as well 🤩
