Restaurant SONIA

Incredible service from Fern, the food was incredible and worth the trek 100x over. Make sure you buzz the door they’re open! Going back for round 2 soon. Lima’s top ceviche institution.

Our waiter Julio was great! Food was amazing. Definitely would recommend trying the passion fruit Pisco sour and the tuna mushiame. The ceviche was also amazing! Basically everything we ate was amazing, can’t fault it. Also got a token of “conchitas” from Freddy himself as a reminder of this great experience. Thanks for the feast!

The seafood was ok, but service sucked. They charge you 10 soles per table for no reason, and rice is not included in the main dish, so you have to pay extra. For what you pay here you can probably eat at a nicer place in Miraflores, or San Isidro. The area is not very nice either.

It's a nice atmosphere and conveniently located. The chupa de cameron was quite delicious too. Outside of that it was a bad experience. They had welcomed us in, sat us down, and took our order before telling us the kitchen closes in 10 mins (it was a about 4:15pm). We figure they must close 30-60 mins after like most places, and we didn't order much so we could finish up quickly too. After about 30 mins they start rushing us out, giving us our check and hovering around us while we're trying to finish our food. We ask them what time they close and they say maybe 4 or 5, which is frustrating because we would've just went elsewhere if they had posted their hours on Google Maps, or told us that at the door. When we notified them that they don't have their hours posted, none of them said they would actually fix it - they just gave us an excuse about how the closing time varies. On top of that the ceviche used bad cuts of fish and tasted purely of lime with no balance. The pisco sour was frozen too. I would never go there again, it's one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had.

Cute place by the beach. Had many ceviche options and this fried platter (Jalea) that I tried for the first time. It had fried calamari , fish, yucca, seaweed and fried fish egg sack.... And this fried egg sack was new to me but ended up being my favorite new food I've tried so far in Lima. Also the purple sauce which was purple olive paste over octopus was an amazing flavour. Otherwise everything was great too! Recommend!

Seafood the way it is meant to be. Great service and piano background music in this family oriented restaurant. Highly encourage to try the platters to try different things, and ceviche de conchas negras for a reason to take a nap after.

Great ceviche, quaint atmosphere, in a timeless classic of Chorrillos. It is a little on the expensive side, yet quality is very high, and the food is delicious, worth every penny. Recommended.

Hidden on the side streets of the Chorrillos district. Don't look for a sign on the front - there is none. We found it because the fisherman's boat is parked out front. Our group shared ceviche platters. The freshest ingredients perfectly seasoned with traditional Ceviche flavors (lime, cilantro, onion). Delicious !! Get a photo with fisherman Fred (Sonia's husband). Anthony Bourdin also visited here.
