La Mar

Food was ok according to a 3 star range. Service and vibe were good, nothing outstanding. However, given its ridiculous pricing, it deserves a 2 instead of a 3.

This restaurant is so maturely operated that although many customers enter to have lunch in the same time, everything is still in order. Perfect service, delicious food and quick providing of plates, explains why it's so crowded on Sunday.

Nice peruvian restaurant, the equipment and set up of the restaurant reminds me of hotel a bit bit the stuff was very welcoming and helpful trying to do the best. Unfortunately I asked for juice without straw and it was served with it. A bit of sad because the service was really nice! Octopus 🐙 tasty, not chewy, all good. Payment with credit card possible, I was bot giving tip just because of the straw.

Fresh seafood, delicious piscosour and dessert. Service and ambiance were excellent. The street and the restaurants get empty and quite towards 10pm in the area.

Quick solo lunch. Excellent classic ceviche and chicha morada. I know Peruvian food well and La Mar met my expectations. A very varied menu. Service was fine once it commenced.

Ima just say quick… this is the best La Mar thus far. Easily. I’ll start— My favorite thing about this La Mar was the cadence of the dishes. Everything took just long enough to come out that I was able to anticipate, but not get annoyed by how long it took. I spent a little over 3 hours on my meal. I started with the classic chips with ají amarillo and green sauce & the Punta Hermosa cocktail which yall…. that drink truly SET THE TONE for the entire meal. When I saw that LA MAR STAMPED LEMON PEEL 😭😭😭😭😭 ARE TOU KIDDING????? Iconic. and ofc needless to say the drink was GOOD. That was such a nice touch that I have not seen at the other La Mars. Ooooof. I leisurely sipped my drink for about 20 minutes before they took my “appetizer” order. I ordered the Atrevido tiradito with octopus, shrimp, and catch of the day (I believe it ended up being hamachi). I should have known what was about to happen based on the name but yall I wasn’t thinking. It took about 30-40 minutes to prepare and I remember thinking what on earth are they doing back there for it to take so long. Yall…. When they set that piece of ART down on the table, I understood. The pictures/videos can’t even capture how beautiful and how LARGE the dish was. It truly could have been the main dish on its own. Obviously, it was delicious. The seafood was so fresh and so soft, it just melted in my mouth. And the chimichurri on top? 80 out of 10. The saffron leche de tigre did not disappoint, with that rich aroma and coloring from the saffron. You see the clean plate? Slurped it all right down. 10 out of 10. Of course I really could have stopped after that but I needed to eat more 🤭 I begrudgingly tried something different from ceviche this time, having already gobbled the tiradito, and went with a pasttime favorite— La Mar Chaufa, with the La Mar ceviche. It was a La Mar branded evening chile. It was verrryyyyy good. Just subtly sweet enough. I added a little of the ají amarillo sauce from the chips just to bring it from A to A+. So good, and I did take the rest home. I left it with my airbnb host and as I sit in the Uber omw to the airport writing this… I’m kicking myself 💀 it was too good chile. I shoulda been greedy hehehe. Dessert had to come next. I am usually never attracted to more than 1 dessert even with extensive dessert menus, and this time, the Cariñosa with lemon mousse, fruit compote, cardamom, flan, and vanilla ice cream just needed to be ordered yall. I did not need it, but i did (slowly) eat the whole thing 💀💀💀 it could have easily fed 3 people but… greedy ol me 🤭 I remember I wanted to go on a walk afterwards to see the neighborhood. Hell absolutely no. I took myself right to sleep, happy & fed. I will be back so quick. From the service to the chips to the ambiance to the food. No one was rude or pretentious. Everyone was friendly and NICE. I interacted with several staff members but mostly with Camilo. Pay him more!!!!!!!! 70 out of 10 yall. Even the takeout bag was beautiful. That was so good I can’t wait to come back.

Very good service, 2 floors plus veranda. There are many seafood options. Everything was super tasty and fresh. Even the cappuccino was pretty much like in Italy. I really enjoyed it. My recommendation for those who like seafood. PS. A bit of an issue with English, but I could manage it ))

Excellent seafood. Many options. All compliments regarding the food. For some reason, as usual in Santiago, waiters seem to think that serving as quickly as possible is “good service.” I felt as if the staff wanted to turn over the table within 45 minutes. As far as I could tell, this wasn’t McDonald’s and the prices aren’t McDonald’s prices.
