As far as I'm concerned, everyone can stay at La Mar – La Red is the joint! It is smaller than and not as fancy as Gaston's place down the road (plastic tables and chairs), but the food is every bit as good – maybe better.
As usual, I ordered too much food. I started with the causa filled with seafood, then grilled octopus (pulpo a la parrilla), and I finished up with the parihuela. The causa was delicious, the octopus was grilled to perfection (absolutely fabulous), and the parihuela was the best I've ever eaten. Parihuela is a seafood soup, and I order it just about everywhere I go. The broth was flavorful, the fish was fresh and delicious, and the two scallops tasted as if they came out of the ocean after I ordered the dish. And, it was a huge portion. Either the pulpo or the parihuela could have been enough of a meal for a normal person.

The total tab (with a soda) came to just under $20 (61 Soles). If there's a word above recommended, that's the one that I would use to describe this place. After stopping to shake the hand of the head chef, I waddled down the street and took a cab to Parque Central in Miraflores.
