Quality Control

Chef Diego Alcântara

Since the age of five, as his mother's kitchen apprentice, Diego knew he would someday become a chef. After graduating from Le Cordon Bleu Peru in 1997, he advanced his way to Europe where he spent six of his years to heighten his culinary skills in Michelin rated restaurants including El Bulli and Europa. He soon returned to his Peruvian roots when recruited by world renowned  chef, Gastón Acurio. As they worked closely in menu design, he earned his way as the Executive Chef of La Mar Cebicheria Peruana in Lima.

Every La Mar location has a specially trained chef from Peru to control the quality of the food. They travel the world to teach, refine and nourish all staff on Peruvian cuisine. This reinforces and retains the consistency of our high standards, authentic dishes, and creation of new specials. Their passion for cooking is contagious.
