The 10 Best Seafood Restaurants In Lima
Seafood is central to the Peruvian diet, with traditional dishes such as ceviche. And while Lima is the country’s capital city, it has also earned a reputation as an international gastronomy capital. Fresh seafood is abundant here, particularly in the upscale coastal district of Miraflores. Here, we take a look at the 10 best restaurants in Lima for the seafood lover.
1. La Mar
La Mar
Ceviche is a dish typically prepared from raw fish cured in citrus juices and seasoned with peppers, widely believed to have originated in Peru. Therefore, a trip to Peru’s capital city is not complete without trying the country’s national seafood dish. La Mar in the Miraflores neighborhood is perhaps the most well-known ceviche spot in town, and for good reason. Created by internationally acclaimed chef and Peruvian food ambassador Gastón Acurio, La Mar serves up all sorts of ceviche, from a classic version to a Japanese-inspired fusion with tuna.
