Discovering La Mar at Atlantis The Royal: A Peruvian Culinary Experience
La Mar, located at Atlantis The Royal, offers an authentic Peruvian dining experience with breathtaking views of the Dubai skyline. As a seasoned food critic, I had the pleasure of savoring their exquisite cuisine, crafted by renowned chef Gaston Acurio. The restaurant’s commitment to using only the freshest ingredients and traditional Peruvian techniques is evident in every dish.
One of the standout features of La Mar is its extensive selection of ceviche dishes, including classic and nikkei-style options. The ceviche is served with sweet potatoes and Peruvian corn, accompanied by a zesty leche de tigre dressing that adds a burst of flavor to the dish. The tuna tiradito plate is another must-try, with its delicate flavors and visually stunning presentation.
Peruvian Cuisine with a Focus on Fresh Ingredients
La Mar’s menu showcases the diversity of Peruvian cuisine, with dishes such as piqeuo-style prawns, grilled fish, and cassava potato fries. The piqeuo-style prawns are served in a large crab-type dish, making for a visually impressive presentation. The grilled fish is expertly filleted and served at the table, while the cassava potato fries are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
Peruvian Desserts and Cocktails
The dessert menu features a rich cacao-based caramel with a crispy quinoa topping, balancing the sweetness of the creamy pudding underneath. The restaurant also offers a unique chocolate selection, highlighting real Peruvian ingredients like tonka bean and lucuma. If you opt not to have dessert, you’ll still be treated to a beautiful and unique chocolate selection.
The Setting and Ambiance of La Mar
The restaurant’s setting is impressive, with a dedicated elevator ride to the large terrace offering stunning views of the fountains and the Dubai skyline. While the ambiance is refined, the focus remains firmly on the cuisine, with a minimalist interior design that lets the food take center stage.
For those seeking a unique and authentic Peruvian dining experience, La Mar at Atlantis The Royal is an excellent choice.
