La Mar in Santiago is outstanding. The food is excellent, with an impressive selection of very fresh fish and beautifully prepared seafood. While the menu is mostly focused on seafood, there are also sashimi options and subtle Japanese influences that add nice variety without taking away from La Mar's core identity. Everything we tried was flavorful and well executed, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out. I also ordered a pisco sour, which was perfectly balanced and one of the better ones I've had. If you enjoy high-quality seafood and fresh fish, La Mar is absolutely worth a visit. read more

This was our first restaurant we tried in Santiago and wow it blew us away! We asked the server his recommendations, and he hand picked out dishes, starting with two ceviches, scallops, a fish and risotto dish, and dessert. Everything was phenomenal and the flavors and freshness of the fish really blew us away. And, the restaurant itself had a great vibe and wasn't too loud. Really loved our experience. read more

The service was very, very slow but up until about 2 o'clock in the morning I would've said the food made up for it because it was excellent for all four of us. However, at around two in the morning, my wife woke up with vomiting and diarrhea that lasted for a couple of hours. Almost certainly food poisoning so I would suggest if you do decide to eat here avoid the sushi! read more

On a holiday weekend at the beginning of spring (October), my hubby surprised me with lunch at La Mar. We arrived just after 1 p.m. to a mostly empty restaurant. Thanks to covid, there is no seating inside in the downstairs area, but there are ample tables out front and on the second floor terrace, which is enclosed save for the front-facing wall, which lets in nice breezes off the Andes. We had a reservation and were ushered upstairs to a central table near the back of the room that sat five and was hidden behind a wall of decorative olive trees. It was not the most ideal spot, but neither are most of the tables up here. As normal Chilean lunchtime rolled around (2 p.m.), we watched as several guests arrived, openly disliked their seating assignment, and asked to be moved due to the sun or a noisy fan that blew straight and continuously. While lacking the breathtaking high-up views of other local rooftop bars and terraces, it's not bad for the second floor. We started with the pisco sours as you do when visiting a Peruvian restaurant. They were refreshing for a hot day and went nicely with the fried calamari appetizer. Because it was so hot outside, instead of heavy steak or pasta dishes, we opted for all fish dishes including the sushi sampler and mixed ceviche. Everything was tasty and the service was great. If coming for lunch, I recommend arriving before 2 and making a reservation specifically requesting a table facing the street so you're near the open window with better views. One distinctive aspect of La Mar over other restaurants in the time of covid is that they provide cloth napkins in the individually wrapped silverware kit rather than the paper napkins found in most other places. read more

If you are a party of one and a gringo, they will do everything they can to get you out of their restaurant. To include bringing me fried shrimp when I ordered and specifically went there to eat fish. I worked in Lima for a bit and feel like I have some grasp on what qualifies as Peruvian food and hospitality. This place does not qualify as any form of hospitality. read more

Stunning restaurant in a fancy area of Santiago. We started with a Peruvian Pisco Sour- yum! We had the ceviche sampler and grilled octopus on whipped potatoes. I never knew you could have that many variations of ceviche. The octopus was so tender and flavorful. Both were out of this world. I had the grouper with black rice and it was outstanding. Sadly, I could not finish it because I had filled up on starters. I couldn't stop eating the rice even though I knew I should concentrate on the grouper because it was so tasty. For dessert we had a flan like dessert and a caramel pudding? Both were amazing! Definitely grateful my friend/colleague introduced us to La Mar. Muy delicisoso! read more

I had been to this restaurant last year but never posted a review, this is a Peruvian style restaurant in Chile, it has the most amazing food and the service is fantastic, there's nothing you can go wrong with, the food was delicious they have valet parking up front so you don't bother with parking since it's very limited, and it's in a very nice area. read more

Great! Ambiance: Nice and airy with seating inside and out. A little tight fitting and noisy at peak hour but seating in back room offers a quieter option. Service: Very attentive and helpful. complimentary dips with chips with roasted corn is a really nice touch. Food: I tried one of the many ceviches and it was delicious, with plenty of high quality seafood. The chef's sushi sampler was also great, though it only featured 5 nigiri and 4 had salt dumped on them which took away from otherwise delicate flavors. Price: a little on the high side, but the quality is there. I'd like to go back and try the seafood plancha which looked pretty impressive. read more

Start was little bit problematic the host wasn't really happy to sit us outside claiming that it's already reserved but when we were leaving there was still a lot of empty tables outside. We were lucky that finally we found the guy who spoke English he was Venezuelan and he was amazing whatever he suggested drinks and food was right on spot very delicious fresh and unique. Special thanks to him unfortunately I don't remember his name but he was the only one who was speaking English in that establishment. So the four star because the host the rest experience was very good. read more

La Mar - Enjoying our last night in chile - Peruvian Near Me - Santiago, RM

I will not be returning to La Mar. My husband and I loved the La Mar in San Francisco & Miami. The employees at the Santiago La Mar have a real attitude. All 3 times I have made a reservation (which must be done over the phone - ridiculous that they don't have on-line reservations) they have messed up the reservation. They seem to do it on purpose so they can 1) size you up, 2) act like they are doing you a favour by letting you stay, 3) give you a crappy table. They never admit that they made a mistake, let alone apologize. They never ask when you made the reservation or with whom you spoke. The most recent reservation bungling, the hostess who was just so satisfied with her own beautiful self, tried to seat us at a table in the middle of the second floor terrace (hardly a terrace) where the ambiance is like an operating room of a hospital. (On the phone I had requested the downstairs patio by the pond. Not to be.) When I requested a different table, the hostess glowered and said it was for people who had reserved. I replied, "Yes just like us." At this, she spun on her heels and stomped away angrily. Needless to say we picked a table, sat down and ordered. The food was okay, but here in Santiago there are so many good Peruvian restaurants, we won't be returning to over priced snot faced La Mar. Another time my husband's company made a reservation for a large group. They did not acknowledge that reservation either, but "managed to fit them in.". And finally on our anniversary my husband tried to make a reservation for outside on the terrace They informed him that they didn't reserve for the terrace, so he asked if they would put a special note in his reservation. There was an empty table when we arrived, so naturally we asked for it. They told us it was for people who had requested it in their reservation. It sounds like I'm obsessing about tables, but the inside of the restaurant is ugly and noisy - not conducive to pleasant dining. read more

Cebiche, ladies & gentlemen. From raw, well-spiced, lemon-marinated fish, to roasted octopus and a good variety of hot plates, La Mar is a go-to for all things marine. Being Chile well known for its seafood (given the obvious fact that it has... well, a really long coast), it's no surprise that a great specialized restaurant like this one has a place in the capital. Located in the upper-class residential neighborhood of Vitacura, the quality of the plates, the ambience and the service are in consonance with the surroundings of the restaurant - but so is the price. Expect to pay no less than US$40-50 each, but in exchange of a nicely done variety of plates and drinks that are well worth it. read more

You know it, I know it: The Peruvian food scene in Ashe County, NC is not what it could be. So one day you have to empty out the old change jar, and buy a couple of business class plane tickets to Santiago. And, when you do, you absolutely have to make your way over to this restaurant, in the trendy Vitacura district. When you do, you will find some of the best food in the world. Everything tastes great. These people can cook seafood, and in everything. Try the pasta la Mar. Try different fish. Eat up. It doesn't hurt that the place is way cool yet (and?) incredibly comfortable, and that the staff is warm, friendly, and eager to please. Forget what you know about Peruvian food in Northwestern NC: This is the real deal. Ignore the four $ here at Yelp -- they use $ for Chilean pesos (what's up with that?) In genuine North American dollars, Union or Confederate, this place is very reasonably priced. read more

Although a pricey, this was very good! The ambience is upscale but somewhat relaxed. The food is amazing. I has the Fashion, shrimp with flavorful risotto. My fiancé had the Salmon Risotto and he also raved about it. For starters, we ordered a delish octopus with a little bit of sauce on top but forgot the name of the dish. Overall, very pleasant and would recommend for business dinners or special occasions. read more

This restaurant is in my top 5 for Santiago, Chile. Great service, food was delicious and amazing drinks!

Very good but make sure you have a reservation. We got there at 8 pm which is opening time. All the tables in the main dining area downstairs were taken. We were upstairs on the enclosed terrace. Cold but the big fire heaters helped. The cebiche sampler was excellent. My albacore steak was a little too done for my taste. But all and all very good. read more
