Almeja

This is a Michelin recommended restaurant, and it did not disappoint!

We started off with the pig’s head terrine toast. Didn’t know what to expect but it was awesome (slightly like a pate).

We then got the lobster dish to share. It’s for two people, and it came with other sea foods like shrimp, and squid. Also great.

For desert, we got two. The queijada Ike a tart served with whipped cream and sorbet), and a flan like fish served with bacon flavored ice cream. Both were delicious.

For drinks, got a port tonic (their version with lime instead of orange and cinnamon), and an Aperol spritz. I liked the port tonic but didn’t finish it since I felt it was like a drink with simple syrup (ie the brain effect).

100% would come back to this place.

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.
