A Culinary Journey Through Peru

At La Mar, every dish tells a story of the sea, the land, and the vibrant culinary traditions of Peru. Chef Victoriano Lopez brings his passion for sea-to-table cooking to life through a thoughtfully curated menu that celebrates the richness of Peruvian cuisine.

La Mar celebrates the authentic and diverse flavors of Peruvian gastronomy—a tour through Peru’s incredible cultural diversity, including Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Italian, and Andean influences. Our menu features unique flavors and artful presentations, served from our trademark cebiche bar or crafted in a charcoal-fired oven.

Signature Creations

From fresh seafood to bold vegetarian selections, our menu showcases inventive dishes like:

  • Cebiche Clásico – California halibut in a traditional leche de tigre, with red onion, habanero, Peruvian corn, and yam.
  • Tiradito Gastón – Peruvian bay scallops drizzled with a creamy ají amarillo leche de tigre, bursting with bright flavor and heat.
Peruvian Classics with a Twist

Inspired by beloved traditional fare, our menu also features:

  • Causa – A duo of whipped Peruvian potatoes, elegantly topped with seafood or seasonal vegetables.
  • Lomo Saltado – A hearty stir-fry of beef tenderloin, onions, tomatoes, cilantro, garlic, and soy sauce, served with a fried egg, papas fritas, and rice.
Inclusive, Fresh & Flavorful

Chef Lopez’s approach goes beyond convention, offering vibrant, health-conscious dishes that cater to gluten-free and vegan palates—ensuring every guest finds something to savor.
