Contramar Mexico City

Contramar is Mexico City's most beloved seafood restaurant and arguably the defining restaurant of the city's modern food culture, drawing an eclectic crowd of artists, politicians, families, and food writers to its spacious dining room in Colonia Roma since 1998. Founded by chef Gabriela Cámara, the restaurant's signature dishes — tuna tostadas, atún con dos chiles, and the iconic red-and-green painted whole fish — have become part of the city's culinary identity. The room is open-plan and gloriously noisy at lunch, when most of Mexico City's creative class seems to gather, and the service is friendly and direct. Contramar is the restaurant that defines contemporary Mexico City dining.
