Just along the street from La Tecla, one of the best seafood restaurants in town is Contramar. The atmosphere of this airy and spacious restaurant is reminiscent of those in the tropical coastal cities, such as Veracruz. Cooled by spinning ceiling fans, the decor is maritime and minimalist, while itinerant musicians stroll around offering the kind of melancholic ballads only Mexicans seem to be able to sing so convincingly. Offers delicious dishes prepared with both traditional and innovative recipes, available from the permanent menu or the list of the day’s specials, which never cease to surprise. Very popular among the local executives, given its position between the Roma and Condesa neighbourhoods, both fashionable residential and office districts, characterised by wide, leafy avenues, providing a respite from the noise and traffic. Reservation required.
