"If you’re picking just one place for ceviche, many Limeños would recommend La Mar. Coming in at number 12 on the Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants list, La Mar derives its fame from a creative approach to the classic dish, as well as fresh takes on traditional delicacies like causas (a seasoned mashed potato terrine), tiraditos (a marinated raw fish dish like ceviche, but usually served with a spicy sauce), and numerous other Peruvian favorites. As its maritime moniker suggests—La Mar means The Sea —most choices are seafood-based, but beef and chicken also appear on the menu; vegetarian versions of most items are available. No reservations are accepted and locals pack in, especially on weekends; have a pisco to assuage a most worth-it wait."
