La Mar: How much does it cost to eat in this temple of fish and shellfish?

The sea pays tribute to the best of the ocean through key dishes of Peruvian marine cuisine. It is a traditional cebichería, but with modern techniques, which has stood out for its special care in the search for inputs and its constant innovation.

Due to its wide and varied menu, one wants to try everything; but it is better to order different dishes or the generous trios to share. Sometimes, your proposal can change depending on what the sea offers that day. The bar, where the pisco-based cocktails stand out, offers the perfect match to its marine proposal. While its cheerful and bright atmosphere invites you to stay.

In 2020, the restaurant -considered the best cebiche, fish and seafood at the 2022 Summum Awards- celebrated its 15th anniversary. The brand, which is part of Acurio Restaurantes, has opened stores in Doha (capital of Qatar), Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Miami, San Francisco and Santiago de Chile.

The local menu is varied. Let’s start with the king: the cebiche and the 11 varieties that it offers, from the classic to the bachiche, from the oriental to the mushroom. In its different versions, he can choose between 2 and 3 fish with which to prepare it; this will be reflected in the price. The cost goes between S/. 58 to S/. 118.

The dishes in this section cost between S/.49 and S/.108. For example, the aphrodisiac (with shells, razors, prawns, sea urchins, tiger’s milk) is S/. 88 and the trio at S/.108. The causes (from Lima to the shrimp cocktail) cost between S/. 39 and S/.59.
