Embarcadero 41

What Embarcadero 41 does

Embarcadero 41 (legal name Embarcadero41, also referenced as Embarcadero 41) is a Peruvian seafood restaurant chain headquartered in Surco, Lima, Peru, founded in 2002 with its first ceviche- and mariscos-focused location. The concept pairs traditional Peruvian seafood with Asian (Japanese and Thai) culinary techniques, executed across a menu (Carta) of ceviches, seafood plates, and fusion creations. As of 2025 the brand operates 25 restaurants across four countries — Peru (14 locations in Lima and Arequipa), Ecuador, Chile, and the United States — through a hybrid model of company-owned and franchised units.

The business operates two revenue streams. The first is direct restaurant operations: dine-in service, takeout, and delivery (branded "PIDE AHORA") at physical locations, with reservations handled via the company website and WhatsApp. The second is franchise income: since 2010 the company has licensed the Embarcadero 41 brand to investors, providing site selection, staff training, marketing, and ongoing operational support, and collecting initial franchise fees plus ongoing royalties. Consumer marketing is concentrated on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and curated Spotify playlists designed to reinforce the Peruvian coastal dining atmosphere, with no app or proprietary technology stack disclosed.

The customer base is split between end-consumers (diners seeking authentic Peruvian seafood and fusion experiences in markets ranging from local Lima neighborhoods to international destinations such as Miami) and franchise investors (entrepreneurs purchasing the right to operate Embarcadero 41 restaurants in qualified territories). The company has no publicly disclosed institutional investors, parent company, funding rounds, or revenue figures, and does not list any named executive team in its public materials; it is registered in Peru and complies with Peruvian personal data protection law (Ley N.º 29733). External recognition includes the "Franquicia Internacional del Año" award from the Lima Chamber of Commerce in 2023.
