1. La Pasiva

£14Bars/BistrosOpen Late

乐天的静Although this is more of a fast food type outlet, the food was tasty, the portions were large, the service was quick and competent, and it was great value for money. They also have big screen TVs which was welcome during the World Cup. Great for hungry people!

2. El Fogon

£23Western-styleOpen Late

乐天的静It's in the food court of a shopping mall but the meat is as good as any restaurant. I found the service in the restaurant to be attentive and more casual. If you decide to go for lunch specifically, sit in the food area, the food looks rushed and not that fresh. You get what you get when you sit there. I recommend sitting inside unless you are in a hurry.

3. Los Lenos

乐天的静It was Sunday and most restaurants were closed so we were happy to see this gorgeous restaurant around the corner from where we were staying. We have been living in Uruguay for a few weeks and have kind of moved on to the meat-eating life. So we were happy to find fish and my wife went for the fresh handmade pancetta with green sauce which was delicious. My fish was grilled with the skin on and served on the grill iron. Juicy and just cooked through. Was great with a simple salad. Service was good and the wine was good. Can't go wrong. 10/10

4. Terracota

乐天的静We had friends and family over to Terra Cota for lunch and everyone had a blast. Everyone wants to do it again. The staff was nice and the cooking was very attentive and accommodating to the needs of some friends. We would have liked to have stayed an extra hour and had some coffee, tea and dry biscuits... hopefully we can stay an extra hour next time.

乐天的静Great restaurant! Very good meat and very professional service - we return every time we are in Montevideo and have never been disappointed. A very good wine too. Last time we took our 90 year old mother to visit and she enjoyed being looked after and cared for. Thank you!

6. La Fonda

£14Latin American

乐天的静We came here the previous Sunday evening after finding the restaurant closed. We were welcomed with a drink. The little card provided us with enough choices. We had fish, lamb and a vegetarian option and all were very good. It was especially nice to see the female chef preparing the food. One could see the joy and love for her profession but the waitresses clearly loved their jobs too. This will be an extraordinary evening on our trip to South America. Thank you.

7. Pellegrin

乐天的静I have been buying at Perglin for years. They keep improving their offer, the owners and staff are so friendly and helpful, the whole boutique is a visual feast and the quality of the food is second to none. You can buy everything you need for a delicious meal, from dips and bread to the most delicious pastries.

8. La Maestranza

诗与远方小实As a traveler who just returned from Montevideo, I can't wait to share with you my wonderful experience in this charming Uruguayan capital. The charm of this city far exceeded my expectations and made me fall in love with everything here. Below, I will introduce my trip to Montevideo from two aspects: food and attractions. Food: 1. Barbecue (Asado): How can you come to Uruguay and not taste their proud barbecue? I enjoyed an unforgettable barbecue feast at La Maestranza restaurant in Mercado del Puerto (Port Market). The grilled steak there is tender and juicy, with excellent taste, which is definitely a paradise for meat lovers. 2. Fried meat pie (Chivito): This is the national food of Uruguay. I tried this delicacy at the La Pasiva chain. It is stuffed with beef, ham, cheese and eggs, and the taste is rich and very satisfying. 3. Mate tea (Mate): Although it is not a food, this traditional drink can be found everywhere in Uruguay. While strolling along the Rambla, I bought a set of yerba mate tea sets and tasted this unique bitter tea with the locals to experience the local culture. 4. Seafood: As a coastal city, Montevideo also has excellent seafood. I tasted fresh grilled fish at El Pescadito restaurant in Ciudad Vieja (Old Town), which was delicious and memorable. Attractions: 1. Plaza Independencia: This is the first stop on my itinerary. The equestrian statue of General Artigas in the center of the square is magnificent, and the surrounding neoclassical buildings are also spectacular. I also visited the Salvo Palace in a corner of the square and learned about the history of Uruguay. 2. Ciudad Vieja: Walking along the cobblestone streets of the old town, I felt like I was traveling back to the colonial period. The architectural styles here are diverse, ranging from Baroque to neoclassical. I especially like the gorgeous exteriors of the San Felipe and Santiago churches. 3. Rambla: This is a 22-kilometer seaside avenue. I rented a bicycle and rode along the avenue to enjoy the beautiful sea view. Here, I saw the leisurely life of locals sunbathing, fishing and drinking mate tea. 4. Teatro Solís: As one of the oldest theaters in South America, its architectural beauty amazed me. I took a guided tour to learn about the history and architectural features of the theater. 5. Museo del Fútbol: As a football fan, how could I miss this museum located in the Centennial Stadium? It displays the glorious football history of Uruguay and gave me a deeper understanding of this football powerhouse. 6. Playa Carrasco: In the east of the city, I found this relatively quiet beach. The golden sand and blue water are a good place to relax. I spent a pleasant afternoon here. Overall, Montevideo is a charming city that perfectly blends history and modernity, leisure and vitality. Whether it is food, architecture, or natural scenery, I was deeply impressed. If you want to experience a different South American city, Montevideo is definitely a destination worth considering. I have already started planning my next trip to Montevideo!

乐天的静For $30 you get a delicious buffet with a wide variety and great quality, a great view of the city and peaceful music. This restaurant is really beautiful and has its name on the decoration. The desserts are amazing and the champagne aperitif is a nice gesture. You shouldn't miss this place
