Try the option Exclusions or using Boole

f[x_, y_] = Sin[x + y];
g[x_, y_] = x - y;
h[x_, y_] = f[x, y]/g[x, y];

ContourPlot[h[x, y],
  {x, -Pi, Pi}, {y, -Pi, Pi}] //
 Quiet

ContourPlot[h[x, y],
  {x, -Pi, Pi}, {y, -Pi, Pi},
  Exclusions -> {g[x, y] == 0}] //
 Quiet

ContourPlot[h[x, y]*
   Boole[g[x, y] != 0],
  {x, -Pi, Pi}, {y, -Pi, Pi}] //
 Quiet
