Under the Radar: Sel de Mer
Tucked away on Graham Ave., the new seafood restaurant Sel de Mer has been overshadowed by its less understated neighbor Mesa Coyoacan. That’s a travesty, because Sel de Mar offers great seafood at reasonable prices and the best fish-’n-chips in the neighborhood. Plus, now they’re open for brunch. We just feasted on the Salmon Eggs Benedict—the salmon was cured with a touch of Sambuca which perfectly complemented the saltiness. Delicious. Decorated to look like a pier-side seafood shack, Sel de Mar is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Highly recommended.
This is what Grub Street says:
Think of the menu at Sel de Mer, a new seafood-focused restaurant in the old Najeeb’s space, as ‚”a Mediterranean‚Äìmeets‚ÄìLong Island kind of thing,” says chef-owner Jeff Slagg: whole roasted dorade and three moules-frites preparations, but also steamers, fish-cake sliders, and fish and chips. That goes double for the new bar. ‚”I wanted it to look like an old dock,” says Slagg, who did a stint at Oceana and more recently ran the kitchen at Sweetwater. ‚”I’m just really into the water.”
We’ve got more information and a menu in our restaurant section.
Also new to the neighborhood: Hachi. The entrees are on the meh side, but the sushi is great and very affordable.
