Contramar

Monday to Friday 12:00pm to 8:00pm, Saturday and Sunday 11:00am to 8:00pm

Last updated June 10, 2026

One of the most iconic seafood restaurants in Mexico City, Contramar is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy fresh, coastal flavours in the heart of Roma Norte. With a reputation for serving up some of the best seafood in the city, Contramar has become a favourite among locals, tourists, and food critics alike. The atmosphere is vibrant and bustling, perfect for a long lunch or a lively dinner.

The star of the menu is the famous tuna tostada, a simple yet perfectly executed dish that combines fresh tuna with avocado, crispy leeks, and a touch of soy sauce. Another must-try is the grilled fish a la talla, a whole fish split in half and grilled with two different sauces—red chilli on one side and green parsley on the other. The ceviche and shrimp aguachile are also crowd favourites, offering refreshing flavours that are ideal for a warm afternoon.

Contramar’s bright and airy space, with its blue-and-white décor, captures the essence of a breezy coastal eatery. The friendly service and casual yet elegant vibe make it a place where you can relax and enjoy top-quality seafood in a fun, welcoming setting.
