Created by acclaimed Peruvian chef Gastón Acurio, La Mar is a celebration of the traditional Peruvian cebichería, set within a casual yet upscale atmosphere designed to take its diners on a delicious exploration of the flavors of Peru.
La Mar focuses on delivering fresh seafood direct from the sea that exemplifies authentic Peruvian flavors. The La Mar menu consists of classic Peruvian dishes such as cebiches (citrus-based marinated raw fish), tiraditos (thinly sliced seafood), and causas (potato-based dishes). It also features grilled anticuchos, which are skewers of marinated meat meant to pay homage to Peruvian street food. La Mar’s menus always feature fresh, local ingredients and incorporate a wide variety of seafood that the country of Peru traditionally offers.
La Mar is committed to the environment. We promote sustainable seafood and actively work towards sourcing locally from fisherman and farmers. We are constantly striving towards a global sustainable business model and pride ourselves on working with the best ingredients the oceans offer exhibiting flavorful preparations of whole fish from around the world, served directly at the table.
With 8 locations across the globe in such places as Lima, San Francisco, Miami, Dubai and Doha, La Mar showcases Peru’s rich culinary heritage and the country’s emerging gastronomy on the world stage.
