Contramar

Roma Norte·Seafood, Pacific-coast·$$$ Verified June 28, 2026
The short answer

Contramar is CDMX's long lunch. Order the pescado a la talla split red-and-green, tuna tostadas, and a bottle of wine — plan to be there three hours.

What to order

  1. 01
    Pescado a la talla
    Whole butterflied fish, half red adobo half green parsley. The signature.
  2. 02
    Tostadas de atún
    Thin-sliced raw tuna, avocado, chipotle mayo, fried leek.
  3. 03
    Tarta de Santiago
    Almond cake — order it when you order the fish, they run out.

Practical notes

  • ·Reservations essential Thu–Sun for lunch. Book 2–3 weeks ahead.
  • ·This is a lunch restaurant. Dinner service exists but the room is designed for daylight.
  • ·The sister restaurant Entremar in Polanco takes the overflow.
Editorial note
By Chef Elvin Park

The complaint that Contramar is 'a scene' is correct and also beside the point — the food is precise, the room works, and the pescado a la talla is a genuinely great dish. Go once, on a weekday, and understand what Roma Norte was in the 2010s.
