About the restaurant

Inspired by the thousands of cebicherias found throughout Peru, La Mar Cebicheria Peruana, was created as an attempt to globalize and enshrine one of the best guarded treasures of Peruvian cuisine: cebiche, Peruvian seafood and the scenery created to enjoy them, the Peruvian style cebicheria.

La Mar never disappoints. We went there for a celebration and the food and service was great. The food came out quick too. Highlights for me were the Lomo Soltado, Jumbo Prawns with cilantro rice and the Fried Rice with Wagyu steak. Excellent experience and the dessert Choco Maracuya is the one to get. Skip the chocolate cake and the tres leches.

The food was outstanding. Not many people in restaurant, but enough. Only one person serving the tables…NOT ENOUGH! He tried and was gracious but couldn’t meet the demand well. The music was extremely loud. All that said, we would absolutely return!

What a delight to eat at La Costanera! It's an impressive looking restaurant with everything: the food is delicious and unlike anything I've ever had, the service is excellent and accommodating, and the noise level is perfect: not so loud that you have to scream, not so soft that all you can hear is your own conversation. The king salmon is outstanding.

We chose Callao for our office team dinner, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The restaurant provided the perfect balance of elegance and warmth, making it an ideal setting for a group gathering. The food was absolutely outstanding! From the vibrant, fresh ceviche to the perfectly seasoned lomo saltado, every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. The shared plates worked wonderfully for our team, allowing everyone to try a variety of dishes. The pisco cocktails were a hit, with unique options that added a fun touch to the evening. The staff at Callao went above and beyond to accommodate our group, ensuring everything ran smoothly. They were attentive, friendly, and handled our requests with ease. Our team left raving about the food, service, and overall experience. Callao exceeded all expectations and made our dinner truly memorable. It’s a fantastic spot for team events, and we’ll definitely be back! Highly recommended.
