La Rosa Nautica

Dinner on a pier over the Pacific, since 1983.

  • Address: Circuito de Playas, Espigon 4
  • District: Miraflores
  • Cuisine: Seafood, art nouveau pier

La Rosa Náutica is one of Lima's most memorable dining rooms: a Victorian, art nouveau-style wooden building at the end of Espigón 4, the fourth breakwater of Miraflores' Circuito de Playas, standing on piles over the Humboldt Current. Open since 1983, it is better known for its setting and its history than for cutting-edge cuisine, and diners eat with the waves visible on almost every side. The menu focuses on fresh seafood with local and international recipes, including tiradito, ceviche and a piqueo del mar, and the bar is known for its cocktails, among them the "Capitán", a Peruvian Manhattan, and pisco sours. It is one of Lima's classic choices for a romantic dinner or a milestone celebration, especially at sunset. La Rosa Náutica appears at #7 in the Ceviches, Fish and Seafood list of the Premios Summum 2026. Window tables can fill weeks ahead at sunset, so book early, ask for a window and mention the occasion. It is also where our Market Visit & Ceviche Class ends with lunch.

Frequently asked questions

What makes La Rosa Náutica different from other Miraflores restaurants?

Is the food or the setting the main reason to go?
