Contramar
A famous seafood lunch spot opened by Gabriela Cámara in 1998, where the red-and-green grilled fish is a signature city dish.
Located at Durango 200 in Roma Norte, Contramar focuses on lunch and early evening dining, closing at 20:00. The signature dish is the whole grilled fish, half red sauce and half green parsley sauce, priced by weight (a party of two usually orders about one kilogram). Another must-order is the tuna tostadas, featuring raw tuna slices with spicy mayonnaise, fried onions, and avocado. The Michelin Guide notes that reservations are key, which can be booked via OpenTable; walk-in wait times can reach up to two hours, though bar seating offers a better chance. Its sister restaurant, Entremar in Polanco, offers a similar menu and is easier to book.
