Amazing gem in downtown Oakland. I live in the peninsula but if I’m in the east bay, I have to make a stop. Renzo and Garrett have done an amazing job with the restaurant; the food is consistently excellent, as are the drinks, but what makes Lucuma stand out most is the service. Despite the restaurant being full, all of the staff make sure that you have a great experience every time. I can’t wait to go back!

About the restaurant

Inspired by the thousands of cebicherias found throughout Peru, La Mar Cebicheria Peruana, was created as an attempt to globalize and enshrine one of the best guarded treasures of Peruvian cuisine: cebiche, Peruvian seafood and the scenery created to enjoy them, the Peruvian style cebicheria.

This was one of the most amazing dining experiences I’ve ever had. The waiter was excellent. We opted for the whole fish experience and it was divine. Highly recommend it.

Excellent food with some interesting twists. I had an excellent salad with passionfruit dressing. A first for me. Another member of our party had a rice dish with an egg on top, he said it was perfect. I know we will be going back.

Indulge in delicious Peruvian fare and cocktails next to a panoramic view of the ocean at Puerto 27. Located next to the Pacifica Beach Hotel, this restaurant serves thoughtfully prepared dishes in a vibrant setting. The menu includes Peruvian classics, such as the pollo a la brasa (Peruvian chicken), paella (mixed seafood and rice) and lomo saltado (marinated beef stir-fried with vegetables). Puerto 27 is also a great place to visit for some authentic anticuchos.

Puerto 27 offers a fine selection of wine and craft beer to complement its meal, with Happy hour specials running between 3.00 p.m. to 6.00 p.m. during the work week. The bar also serves a list of Piscos, Peru's national spirit made from grapes.
