2 Best Restaurants in Centro Histórico, Mexico City

Prior to opening as a Basque-style seafood restaurant in the mid-1930s, Danubio was, as its name suggests, a German bar. Today, the place veritably reeks of old-world charm, with its formal service, pressed table linens, and a bar of whole fish for diners to choose from. Still popular with politicians, the menu features crawfish, baby eels imported from northern Spain, and power lunch specials like lobster thermidor imported from a bygone era.
