La Capitana

A restaurant with a women-led spirit

La Capitana is a cosy Lima restaurant serving contemporary Peruvian cuisine with a strong respect for technique and standout produce. Chef Ximena Ugarte keeps the fundamentals of Peruvian cooking front and centre, then adds small creative touches that feel natural and personal. The result is food with identity, sensitivity and character, especially across fish and seafood. La Capitana also has a clear mission: to celebrate and revalue the role of women in Peruvian gastronomy, from the kitchen to the dining room.

Peruvian Classics, Sharpened

La Capitana’s cooking is recognisable and precisely executed, built around top-quality seafood and a clear Peruvian backbone. You’ll taste dishes that feel familiar at first glance, then surprise you with a smart detail or an unexpected pairing. The house ceviche is a signature for a reason, delivering freshness, texture and real personality. Across the menu, the approach stays consistent: strong ingredients, clean technique, and plates that respect where they come from. Add a focused cocktail list and the room starts to feel like a proper Lima favourite.

Extended Lunches with Guest Chefs

Some days at La Capitana are made for staying a little longer. The team hosts extended lunches where chef friends join the kitchen, ideas get shared, and special menus are built for the occasion. Live music turns the afternoon into something relaxed and celebratory, the kind of meal that keeps rolling without anyone checking the time. It’s food, friendship and a table full of energy, exactly the spirit La Capitana is known for.

A New Food Neighbourhood in Motion

La Capitana sits in a part of Lima that’s gaining energy, with new restaurants and creative concepts helping shape the area’s reputation. It’s a neighbourhood where people come to discover places with a point of view, not just a trend. Inside, the atmosphere stays welcoming and intimate, with music and warmth giving the room its rhythm. It’s the kind of spot that feels local in the best sense, the place you return to because you know you’ll have a good time.

A Mission You Can Feel in the Room

La Capitana isn’t just a restaurant with a style, it’s a restaurant with a message. The team is proud to highlight women in Peruvian gastronomy and to create a space where that shows, in the leadership, the hospitality, and the way the kitchen works together. Guests come for the seafood and the technique, then leave remembering the atmosphere, the music, and how looked-after they felt.

“At La Capitana, it’s all about pleasure, technique and produce.”
