"You can’t come to Lima without sampling Peru’s most famous dish—ceviche (you'll often see it spelled with cebiche in Peru). And while Limeños usually devour theirs from a street cart or at a small bar, La Mar is the smartest place to try it."
"His Lima original is one of my favorite restaurants in Peru. It’s big, boisterous and fun, and even though it’s only open for lunch, I would recommend you go for as many ceviches as you can possibly stomach."
"La Mer has some of the best ceviche."
"We don’t know how many plates of ceviche we ate during our many, many months of travel in Peru but the only one we can still taste is the ceviche we had at La Mar Cebicheria: simple, beyond fresh, perfectly balanced."
