Why Travelers Love Cala

Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.4 / 5.0(9,154 reviews)

We had such a wonderful experience at Ca La, and a big part of that was thanks to Antonio. From the moment we arrived, he greeted us with such warmth and friendliness that instantly made us feel welcome. Throughout the evening, his service was attentive without ever being intrusive, and his genuine kindness made our dinner truly memorable. Antonio went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and his thoughtful recommendations made our meal even more special. It’s rare to meet someone who combines professionalism with such a personal touch—he really made us feel like guests of honor. Thank you, Antonio, for turning a great dinner into an unforgettable experience. We will always remember it! Lovely ceviche and a nice craft beer to wash it down. Super sea views too but quite pricey, even coming from Edinburgh, one of the most expensive cities in Europe, it felt steep. Staff were very helpful though. I came here for lunch on my first day in Peru with my friend who’s been here before. I was simply amazed! The view, the service, the food and the atmosphere! Everything you read on the reviews is true! I couldn’t stop thanking my date for making such a great choice. We sat at small table for two right in front of the beach were people were surfing. It was hard to chose between staring at the sea or into my date’s eyes! You must try the ceviche appetizer sample to share. It was so delicious from traditional ceviche to modern versions. I then had the filet de sole and my friend the sesame seed tuna. Both dishes were fantastic. The place was full but the service was still very personalized. They had live music which was a nice touch. The hardest part was leaving. I would have gladly stayed for the next meal and for the sunset. Next time for sure!

Celebrated my boyfriends birthday lunch at Cala and it was nothing short of amazing! The food was great, the atmosphere is out of this world, and the service was lovely. From someone coming from United States you get a value for what you pay for! I loved our experience and it is definitely some of the best food I’ve had in the world. THANK YOU✨🩵🫶🏽
