Fontainebleau Las Vegas is home to some of the best restaurants in Las Vegas — and they’ve got something new brewing. Cantina Contramar, the new restaurant from acclimated Mexican Chef Gabriela Cámara is now accepting advance reservations ahead of the late march opening date (March 28, 2026).
Chef Cámara’s menu for Cantina Contramar showcases her 27-year legacy of signature ingredient-forward dishes, blending iconic seafood creations with timeless Mexican cantina classics. The menu features a combination of beloved dishes from Chef Cámara’s Mexico City restaurants mixed with new signature dishes crafted exclusively for the Las Vegas, such as:
- Aguachile Negro de Res: a Wagyu twist on the traditional seafood version with salsa negra
- Ensalada César Estilo Cantina: an ode to the cantina-style Caesar salad
- Tostada Flight: a flight of our distinctive tostadas including the Contramar classic tuna creation
- Sopes Playeros: fried masa rounds with refried black beans and queso fresco, and Sope Elegante, served with crème fraîche and Imperial Caviar
- Pescado a la Talla Contramar: Contramar’s legendary whole grilled fish with red adobo and parsley rub
- Camote a las Brasas: charred sweet potato served with bone marrow salsa negra
- Chamorro: braised pork shank
“Mexican hospitality is rooted in generosity and in coming together around a delicious meal,” says Chef Cámara. “In a city defined by its energy and hospitality culture, Fontainebleau Las Vegas is a natural home for Cantina Contramar: a place where guests can gather and experience the authenticity and conviviality of delicious Mexican cooking.”
“This marks an important milestone for Fontainebleau Las Vegas as we welcome Cantina Contramar to our culinary collection,” said Fontainebleau Las Vegas President Maurice Wooden. “Chef Cámara’s vision is evident in every detail, from its spirit and heritage to the design and menu. This opening reflects our continued commitment to curating best-in-class dining experiences from around the world. We are grateful to Chef Cámara for helping us bring this vision to life, and we look forward to sharing this moment with our guests.”
