La Docena · Restaurant · Mexico City
Pacific oysters and wood grill, open late in Roma
La Docena Oyster Bar and Grill started in Guadalajara and brought its raw bar and wood grill to Roma Norte, on the corner of Alvaro Obregon and Frontera. The format is straightforward: a long iced bar of oysters and clams landed from Mexican coasts, and a grill working through octopus, whole fish and beef.
Chef Tomas Bermudez oversees sourcing, working with local producers, the Mexican Pacific, organic vegetables and grass-fed beef. The restaurant is recognized on the Latin America's 50 Best Discovery platform, alongside sister locations in Polanco and back in Guadalajara where the concept began.
The room is loud and bistro styled, tiled and marble topped, and it is one of the few Roma Norte dining rooms still serving at a genuinely late hour, open every night until midnight and Sunday until eleven. That makes it a reliable second stop after drinks as well as a dinner booking on its own, and the kitchen runs the same wood-grill menu through the weekend brunch crowd.
