Celebrating a Year of Flavor, Excellence, and Community in the Pacific Northwest
In 2025, La Mar Bellevue was recognized by The Seattle Times Best in the PNW People’s Choice Awards, earning Gold for Best New Restaurant, Silver for Best Outdoor Dining, and Bronze for Best Chef, underscoring its reputation as a standout dining destination in the region.
These honors come at a very special moment for us, as this October marks our first anniversary in Bellevue. To celebrate one year of sharing Peruvian cuisine with our community and to receive these recognitions at the same time is truly an incredible milestone.
From the very beginning, our mission has been to bring the artistry and soul of Peruvian cuisine to the Pacific Northwest. Led by Executive Chef Kaoru Chang, our team crafts each dish with passion and precision, blending tradition with creativity to deliver an unforgettable dining experience.
We are deeply grateful to our guests and to the Seattle community for embracing our vision and making La Mar part of their culinary journey. Here’s to many more years of celebrating flavor, connection, and the spirit of Peru — right here in Bellevue.
Thank you, Seattle!
