Restaurante Danubio — Restaurant in Mexico City

A great place for a special day or a fancy date. The place is old, founded around 1930’s (1936) and still going strong. Used to be quite classy and it retains that aspect on the way the waiters and staff are dressed and the service. Originally a German restaurant was bought by a Basque family during the WWII.

Best if you make a reservation. Weekend the place is packed and you will probably have to wait anywhere’s from a few minutes to an hour.

The seafood is fresh and quite tasty. The main thing to order are the langostinos.

Located a five- or six-block walk from the Historical District is certainly worth the stroll--and a high recommendation. Indeed, stomachs certainly have...

Prawns were super overpriced! 750 mxn for 5 prawns was ridiculous. The mussels were good, not too expensive, however they did not come with any sides. Wine selection is good, a bit overpriced too. I was surprised they still offered Peñafiel sparkling water despite the arsenic issue in all the news. Ambience is ok, not too loud, service is fast and friendly. Desserts are pretty good, they have churros from El Moro and pastries from a really good bakery in Polanco. The green sauce in the mussels and the sea bass was good, but was kind of salty. Overall a good seafood restaurant but it is not worth the long trip if you don’t live close to downtown....
