Description

Chef Gabriela Cámara's Contramar has been open since 1998, but it's not resting on any laurels. Set on a busy street, this buzzy spot (read: reservations are key) enchants from start to finish and is all about seafood. Kick off the meal with a tostada, perhaps one topped with diced, raw scallop tossed in a salsa macha, before savoring pulpo a la Gallega, a simple dish of tender octopus and potato cubes dressed with olive oil, flaky sea salt, and a healthy dose of paprika. Pescado a talla, with red and green rubs on each side, is their signature dish, but there are many tempting main dishes. Fi
