Contramar

35 Best Restaurants in Mexico City for Birria, Ceviche, and Tacos | Condé Nast Traveler

"The artsy-upper crust of the La Condesa neighborhood, hangers-on following the scene, businessmen on lengthy lunches, and a smattering of tourists crowd the tables here. At Contramar, you'll fully understand why lunch is the most important—and longest—meal of the day in Mexico City: By 2 p.m. on Fridays, the brandy and rosé start flowing and lunch turns into multiple rounds of food and drink, smoke breaks on the sidewalk, and a place to be seen. The food is well-executed: tuna tostadas with chipotle mayonnaise and fried leeks, bracing ceviches and aguachiles, whole grilled fish a la talla served with warm tortillas and refried black beans. Dessert is exceptional—a waiter will bring over a tray to show you what's available, but just order as many as you can handle." - Scarlett Lindeman, Naomi Tomky
