ULTRAMARINOS DEMAR

The 38 Best Restaurants in Mexico City | Eater

"Seafood is at the epicenter of Ultramarinos Demar, the most recent project of chef Lucho Martínez. It’s hard to pinpoint all the culinary influences at play on the menu; there’s zarandeado (the classic Mexican-style grilled fish), but also velvety clam chowder, perfectly moistened crab cakes, lobster rolls, caviar with chips, and seafood platters. The restaurant appears casual, with a relaxed, no-frills dining room and bar seating, but servers draw inspiration from classic European restaurants, delivering polished table service in crisp, white jackets. The cosmopolitan, indulgent experience is a good choice for lunch or an early dinner (the restaurant closes at 7 p.m.). Know before you go: While you wait for your table, grab a coffee across the street at sister project Café Tormenta." - Natalia de la Rosa
