Costanera 700

Is Costanera 700 worth booking in Miraflores?

Yes; if Peruvian seafood is your focus and you want a restaurant with documented international recognition rather than just local buzz. Costanera 700 holds a La Liste ranking of 76 points in the 2025 edition, placing it in the top tier of Lima's dining options, carries a White Star recognition from Star Wine List, which signals a wine program taken seriously enough to earn independent editorial notice. This is a reliable, well-regarded seafood address in Miraflores; book it when the meal itself is the purpose of the evening.

What to expect

The energy at Costanera 700 skews lively rather than hushed. This is not the place for a quiet conversation over a long tasting menu, the atmosphere runs warmer and more sociable than the formal dining rooms you'd find at, say, Astrid & Gastón in Lima. For a returning visitor, that energy works in your favour at lunch, when the room feels purposeful without tipping into loud. If noise matters to your group, aim for an early sitting.

The kitchen's identity is Peruvian seafood, in Lima that means sourcing is the argument. Peru's Pacific coastline delivers some of the most ingredient-rich waters in the world, cold Humboldt Current fish, shellfish, the raw material for ceviche that is genuinely different from what you get anywhere else. Costanera 700's menu is built around that reality. The quality of what arrives on the plate is a direct function of what the kitchen can source that day, which is the right way to run a seafood restaurant in this city. If you've been once and ordered the obvious, go back and let the kitchen's seasonal availability guide your next order, the day's freshest catch will outperform whatever you pre-planned.

Wine program is worth noting specifically. The Star Wine List White Star recognition is not handed to restaurants with perfunctory lists, it indicates a level of curation and depth that goes beyond the minimum. For a seafood-focused restaurant in Miraflores, that matters: a well-chosen Peruvian or South American white alongside Pacific ceviche is a genuinely different experience from a generic house pour. Ask the floor team what's drinking well from the list before you default to a standard order.

Booking is direct. Costanera 700 does not appear to operate at the extreme reservation pressure of Lima's most in-demand addresses. For most visits, booking a few days in advance should be sufficient, though if you're visiting during Lima's peak tourism window (July through September, when dry-season travel surges), give yourself a week's lead time to be safe. The restaurant is located at Jr. Manuel Tovar 179, Miraflores, which puts it in the heart of the district and within easy reach of most hotels.
