One of Lima’s leading ceviche restaurants, La Mar Cebichería in Miraflores is one of top chef Gastón Acurio’s establishments. It’s a true success story given that there are many dotted across the continent and this branch, led by chef Anthony Vásquez, regularly ranks in Latin America’s ‘50 Best Restaurants’ list.

Phone: +51 966 320 855
Address: Jirón Domeyer 260, Barranco
The market-driven menu at 7 is a solid affair and a fantastic example of Lima’s numerous casual dining restaurants. Helmed by chef Ricardo Martins, who opened sister establishment La Perlita in 2025, there are always a few excellent pasta dishes on the menu, such as rabbit ravioli with almond pesto and apricot purée. Martins’ hand in seafood is excellent; when it’s the season, order razor clams in vongole butter and limo chilli pepper green salsa. The 30-strong wine list created by sommelier Iván Mestanza is a compact affair, with light reds and whites in equal measure that best accompany the...

The sister establishment to Rafael, El Mercado’s menu is dictated by the day’s catch, and could include dishes such as as simple and refreshing ceviche, Peruvian classics such a hearty tacu tacu seafood rice, or fideuá Donosti with prawns and scallops, and Bomba rice ‘Marítimo’ with lobster tartare and crustacean alioli.

Address: Avenida Paz Soldan 290 Av. Paz Soldán 290, San Isidro, Lima
In a previous life, 17th-century Casa Moreyra was a glorious hacienda in Lima’s elegant San Isidro neighbourhood; its latest guise is home to the flagship restaurant of Peru’s culinary legends Astrid Gütsche and Gastón Acurio. Regularly ranking in Latin America’s ‘50 Best Restaurants’ list, at Astrid & Gastón, talented chef Ernesto Castillo Moscoso puts together both à la carte – many dishes are for sharing – and tasting menus, the latter revamped twice a year.

Phone: +51 1 3135100
Address: Calle San Martin 399, Miraflores, Lima
Topping the list of the ‘World’s 50 Best Restaurants’ in 2025, Maido is an absolute dining must on any Lima itinerary. Chef Mitusuharu Tsumura’s Nikkei cuisine elevates Peruvian and Japanese flavours and ingredients, a delectable culinary marriage that showcases both his cultural worlds, and truly puts tastebuds on their toes. Based in Miraflores, in a smart two-storey corner building, I would advise splashing out on the vibrant tasting menu. Dishes might include nigiri a lo pobre, limpet ceviche and toro hand carved and prepared table side. If time is of the essence, you can order à la ca...
