A couple of weeks ago we went to this restaurant and had a wonderful time, the sea food platter was very good, the Pisco sour also and the view of the beach and the waves was relaxing I would recommend this restaurant.

At the time you arrive to this place, you begin to think if such beatiful place is capable to serve you delicious food. First we ordered the entrees, all of them were amazing: tri causas, four ceviches, pulpo, tiraditos, crab cakes, Calangosta. Then we ordered tuna grilled and it was superb. We ask for two desserts: tiramisu and something with... More

Had postponed my visit there for a while (so many good restaurants to try or to go back to). Went there and were very lucky to have a wonderful sunny day. Recommend to get a table in the first floor or in the terrace if there is a nice day outside or if you like the sea... the waves are... More

There are so many nice restaurants in Lima where you can eat great fish and seafood, but still you can surprise yourself with something better than usual. Cala is one of these places. Located in front of the sea at the beach between Miraflores and Barranco you can enjoy a great meal while watching the surfers or a flying pelican... More

Nice location directly on windy beach in Miraflores. Formal service. Complicate menu (limited explanation for elaborated excellent Peruvian specialities almost unknown for a foreigner) - Better guidance from the professional waiters would be welcomed! - All dishes eated were excellent in presentation and taste. Ceviche "tradition" very good - Trimaran (3 tiraditos on same long plate): very interesting tastes variation.... More

Except for the omnipresent television sets showing sport games, the restaurant is a wonderful place to eat and spend some time looking at the sea that breaks just below. Food is great, the whole menu, as it is in most restaurants in Lima, but location on the "costa verde" (green coast) near Barranco is the main feature of Cala. Leave... More

Nice place for dinner or for just a drink. Service is very nice and the drinks are wonderful. The terrace in summer is the most!

Great food at a wonderful location. Sit outside watch the sun go down with a Pisco Sour in your hand. Share the excellent ceviche. The suckling pig is better than Botin's in Madrid. The tuna melts in your mouth. Finish of by sharing one of their delicious desserts. Heaven! Separate checks are not a problem. Not even for larger groups.
