La Mar Cebicheria Peruana
If you’re entertaining cosmopolitan guests or just wanting to feel supremely chic for an afternoon, head over to the waterfront patio of this Peruvian restaurant. Surrounded by breathtaking views and stylish ocean-blue chairs, order the table a bowl of cebiche, an empanada sampler, and sip the country’s liquid treasure — Pisco. Considering it may be one of several rounds, our afternoon cocktail of choice is pisco punch. We love sours, but unless you’re a regular protein drinker, say "no thank you" to egg whites before dark.

La Mar Cebicheria Peruana, Pier 1.5, Embarcadero Street (at Washington Street); 415-397-8880.
