What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
La Picantería is celebrated for its innovative concept of choosing a fish that dictates multiple dishes, its incredibly fresh seafood, and its exceptional Pisco Sour. While many praise the unique dining experience and accommodating staff, some find the restaurant to be overpriced for the ambiance and have encountered issues with service speed and food temperature during busy periods.
"The main menu is about choosing a fish (of the day... several options) and they will cook different dish depending on the size of the fish. Cold dish then several hot dishes according to the size of the fish you choose.
It's a refreshing take on the average Peruvian restaurants in South America.
The staff were extremely nice and accommodating.
I highly recommend!"

"Amazing experience. They make the best Pisco Sour in town. I tried La Mar and Mestizo but this place got the best!
We ordered Ceviche and Seabass roasted garlic. Both were amazing. Ceviche was classic and probably better than other places. Roasted Garlic was missing some flavor but overall we liked it."

"As most restaurants in this area, it caters to a specific (more affluent) clientele. While the space was nice and modern, I noticed the seat "leather" was very worn out. Not an issue for me, but it shows the place is starting to age. The food was great, particularly the "I popped popcorn" appetizer that comes with the drinks. Very addictive. The pisco sour was a bit too sweet for my taste. You should probably get a reservation if you are coming near peak dining hours."
