Nothing extraordinary! Waiting time 40min. I think they prioritise locals over tourists although no reservations are possible. No English menu but some staff speaks English and helped us with the order. The concept is to choose the fish/seafood and the cooking method. The kitchen is downstairs which is not very efficient for a restaurant especially when they don’t have a lift for the food. Staffs need to go down and up all the time. Extremely loud music. The dishes arrived quickly and seemed to be fresh. Not bad seafood but I think some are overpriced compared to the same food we can find in Europe (especially lobster ~€65/kg) Too small plates to eat the dishes, zero service to replace or give tissues.

La Picantería is a seafood lover’s dream. The fish is incredibly fresh, and the fish in ají amarillo sauce was the standout—perfectly spicy and flavorful. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and an authentic taste of Lima. A must-visit!

It’s probably our best culinary experience so far in South America . We chose a fish which was cooked in two different forms : a ceviche to start with, and a cooked fish in a banana leaf and Chili sauce. The fish bones were also used for a seafood broth. Delicious, very good portion and creative.

¡One of my favourite places in Lima to have an amazing ceviche and sea food! Unique restaurant to spend time with friends and enjoy a perfect ceviche and some pisco sours 😋 You choose the best one 🐟 and they prepare different dishes for you. Please visit La Picantería when you are in Lima 🥳

Little gem in Surquillo. The food is incredible, we loved everything that we had, especially the Navajas, Ceviche de Cabrilla and Jalea Chiclayana. The house beer is very good. Also loved the authentic atmosphere.

This place is it! The gem of Lima. Everything I ordered was outstanding. I got a Nikkei prepared Chita fish that was outstanding. Ceviche was a perfect 10; freshness of fish, balance between acidic & saltiness of the leche de Tigre. These people know what they’re doing!
