Contramar

We went to this place on our second night in Mexico City.

It is highly suggested by many that if it is your first time in Mexico City to go visit this place.

For drinks, mainly got Aperol Spritzs.

For appetizers, got the shrimp cocktail and the tuna sashimi. Thought both were excellent. Also got the clam chowder (would probably not get it again).

For the main course, shared a few things. Got the tuna tostados, the king fish tacos, the octopus, and the whole grilled fish.

For deserts, sampled the apple pie with ice cream, the strawberry cake, the flan, and the fig cake. Would get the apple pie again if I had to choose one.

Restaurante Casa Benigna

On our second night in Madrid we wanted to eat at a great paella place, and we did!

This place is rated 4.5 on Google, and usually requires a reservation. Fortunately, they did let us in (although the door was locked when we got there).

The place was a bit fancy, but still let us in with shirts and shorts. For drinks, got a white wine that was a tad bit sweet (supposedly pairs great with the paella we ordered).

To start, they gave us some vegetable sticks / fruit sticks, as well as bread with butter that felt and tasted like cheese (soooo good). Also served a cold tomato soup called Gazpacho. Also great!

To start, got the tomato salad. Great way to start a meal by eating healthy.

For the main paella, got the seafood paella and a chicken and pork paella. Both were great, but I liked the seafood one better (others in the group found the other paella better).

For desert, got the apple pie (which almost seemed like an inverted apple pie). Also great! They also gave us complimentary melted chocolate and cookies.

Would come back here again in a heart beat.
