La Mar by Gaston Acurio Will Move in 2025

The award-winning Peruvian restaurant under chef Diego Oka will be relocating to a new space in Brickell in late 2025. This follows news that the 25-year-old Mandarin Oriental, Miami, where La Mar opened in 2014, is closing in May. The property will be closed to make way for construction of two towers, with private and hotel residencies.

La Mar’s new location, in a new space under construction at 1471 S Miami Ave., will keep its menu of traditional Peruvian dishes, including fresh cebiches, grilled anticuchos and other dishes.

“With over 10 years in Miami, chef Oka has built strong relationships with the local community and local organizations,” says Acurio. “It will be wonderful to witness how he builds upon this foundation in the new location, guiding La Mar Miami into a new phase of life that continues to endear guests to authentic Peruvian food.”
