La Perlita
Stopped in for a quick ceviche fix on the road to many more! Happy to say this place was fantastic.
We got the Tiradiro de Pesca del Día "Acamaronado" con Leche de
Tigre de Coral, Palra, Aceite de Sésamo & Tucupí. 9.2/10
The fish was so buttery and delicious and the umami of the tomato/tiger milk broth could have been soup on its own!
Tiradito de Pesca del Día, con Leche de Tigre
Arerciopelada, Palta & Picada de
Ají Amarillo. 9.1/10
Very fresh and vibrant, very fatty and herbaceous!
Really good start to our ceviche marathon as we travel through Peru.
Loved everything about this place! The scallops and grilled octopus were absolutely delicious. 10/10!

La Perlita, the latest venture by Siete’s Chef Ricardo Martínez, is a beautifully made restaurant set in a charming old casona adorned with nice pieces of art. Even the details, like the well designed restroom, add to the ambiance.
The Pisco Sour was well-balanced and served in a perfectly sized small glass—something you fet seldom and is ideal for starting the meal. Made with Huamani Pisco, it was well mixed. We also enjoyed a Chablis, which paired wonderfully with the meal.
For starters, the Pejerrey was good, though the ceviche wasn’t exactly to my taste, as it was cut into larger chunks than I prefer and even though i had the “reyna” version seemed to acid. However, the Crab Ají de Gallina was outstanding—rich, flavorful, and perfectly executed. The dessert was also nice, rounding out a satisfying dining experience. They didn’t have espresso for which we went ro Demo near by.
Service was warm and attentive, and while the acoustics could be improved, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. I would definitely return.

The food is outstanding, ranging from traditional Peruvian dishes to ceviche with a creative twist. Everything was fresh, well prepared, and beautifully presented.
The service was friendly and professional, with the staff consistently going out of their way to make you feel welcome and well looked after.
A place I would happily recommend to anyone looking for excellent food and warm hospitality in Barranco.

Absolutely awesome. To me it was easily one of my favorite restaurants in Lima! We had the Tiradito, the grilled Octopus, the Aji Gallina with Bull Crab, the Calamari Cau Cau and the dark chocolate mousse with cherimoya ice cream. Everything was a good portion and tasted super delicious. Also the Pisco sour was one of the best we had in Peru!
