Guidebook for Ciudad de México
Food Scene
When it comes to seafood, Contramar offers the best in the capital. The fashionable restaurant is notorious for its tuna tostadas, which are the most popular choice on the menu for their freshness and exquisite flavor; however this does not mean that the other options are any less delicious. Even with a huge, high-ceiling dining room, Contramar still manages to fill up every lunchtime. However, the service is exceptionally fast, so you will never have to wait long for your meal. Sometimes the queue outside the restaurant may seem long, but the quality of the food is definitely worth the wait.

Chapultepec Castle (Spanish: Castillo de Chapultepec) is located on top of Chapultepec Hill. The name Chapultepec stems from the Nahuatl word chapoltepēc which means "at the grasshopper's hill". It is located in the middle of Chapultepec Park in Mexico City at a height of 2,325 meters (7,628 ft) above sea level.
