01 — Direct answer
The idea in one sentence
MARE does not try to compress Peru into a single formula. Its menu pairs Peruvian products with contemporary technique, moving across seafood, meats, Andean grains, tubers, vegetables, desserts, pisco cocktails and Peruvian wines.
Ingredients come before labels
The current menu names the ingredients clearly: trout, alpaca, octopus, native potatoes, olluco, quinoa, kiwicha, cushuro, goldenberry, huacatay, cacao and seasonal mushrooms. Contemporary technique is used to build texture, balance and presentation around them.
That approach appears in dishes such as Trout Ceviche with traditional leche de tigre, Alpaca Tartare with cocona, Pomata Trout with seasonal tuber purée and Cacao presented in several textures.
The menu leaves room for different choices
Guests can order à la carte, choose a dinner tasting menu, visit for cocktails or explore Peruvian and international wines. The kitchen also publishes vegan dishes rather than treating dietary needs as an unlisted exception.
The live menu includes allergen codes and asks guests to speak with the team before ordering. This is especially important when a restriction is medical or when cross-contact needs to be discussed.
- À la carte: individual starters, mains and desserts priced in soles.
- Tasting menu: US$75 per guest, minimum two, at 6:00 p.m. or 8:00 p.m.
- Vegan choices: Vegan Ceviche, Corn Croquettes and Andean Soup on the current menu.
