This was probably the best lunch I had ever had in my life. If you like seafood, then treat yourself to a meal here while you're in Lima. Very helpful staff, great drinks, and delicious food. What more could you ask for? more

I shared three different dishes with my lunch date. All three of them were wonderful. The Pisco Sour that we had at the bar while waiting for our table was excellent. We had a desert at the end of the meal that was so incredibly good. I would love to go back. I'm jealous of my lunch date who was... more

My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of dining here after reading the reviews/recommendations in my Frommer's book. It did not dissapoint. Trendy, hip, chic, friendly and open. A bit noisy, but what do you want at lunchtime? We sat at the bar, where Tony mixed up some great cocktails. Cynthia was the waitress, and the sommelier (name escapes me!)... more

We complained about a dish and the waiters paid no notice at all. Very bad for a restaurant quite pricey for Lima and with such reputation. We eill not come back or recommend to anyone. more

Every time I go to Lima, my first lunch is at La Mar. Excellent fusion food, fresh, creative, so tasty!! Be sure to try the aguaymanto sour drink, the causuchis and the tacu tacu nortenio. For dessert: derrumbado. Get there early because not matter what day it is, there is always a big wait. Enjoy! more

Popular and packed. Plan to wait up to an hour, though the tables turn fast. This is the place for excellent seafood. The cooks know their fish and each piece is cooked to perfection. The servers are attentive and there is NO 10% service charge NOR a "cubiertos" or table charge that places like Alfrecos place on their bill. You... more

We went there for lunch on a Friday. They opened at 12 and were arrived just in time. By 1 PM the place was packed and had a line-up. Our driver came back to pick us up 2 hours later. We probably would've stayed longer. Before the food arrived, a basket of potato and banana chips along with a trio... more
