The best restaurants Uruguay

A lovely little minutas restaurant for gourmets: Here everything is made home (except fries), but the burgers and pizzas are rich and carefully prepared, just like milanesas and chivitos. Aubergines to delicious parmesane. Mexican and vegetarian options. A good plan cheap.

Place that offers pizza and live music. A great concept for visitors passing through who want to soak up a nice local atmosphere, concerts and eat on the go pizzas and other Uruguayan minutas while drinking a good cold beer. The music shows start rather late (10pm), so feel free to take the merienda before you get there, so you can fully enjoy the evening. For the week's lineup, check out the restaurant's Facebook page.

Undoubtedly one of the best tables to order a fine paste pizza with fresh and well assorted ingredients. The restaurant is a little eccentric, but the place is well decorated with sofas, the menu of home cocktails is attractive, the outdoor tables are pleasant. If you prefer sea view, order to take and enjoy it on the beach!

If you wonder why HDP, well yes it is a reference to the insult "Hijo de Puta" used to all sauces in Uruguay, even to define a good dish. Young people, therefore, opened this pizzeria-chiviteria that has the advantage of serving lunch and dinner. Popular with premises. 

To glue his stomach from a chivito, milanesa or another Uruguayan specialty that is very depressing cheese with fries. Good for this kind of food.

It is one of the most popular restaurants in the city and is very central. It serves delicious asado meats (one purchased = a Wednesday and Sunday evening), interesting and copious salads and quality craft beers, but also fainas, mozzas and other Uruguayan snacks. Friday evening, live music, and a turbulent atmosphere on the evenings of games.

This restaurant owned by the Parque Rodo fishermen is a small paradise for fish lovers at the plancha. Miniaturas are also found (small fish frills), empanadas, some seasonal seafood à la carte, salad and fries, all at a floor price. The view on the beach from the sunny terrace is a delight, but there is no restaurant in hard weather so in case of rain, it's closed.

Excellent regional cuisine served in rustic surroundings, with its original specialties: meat of course. The quantities are gargantuan. Careful presentation and air conditioning make the break pleasant on the way to the reserve.

This is where you will eat the best chivitos in the city! The menu also includes all traditional Uruguayan specialties: Muzza pizza, milanesas, hamburguesas, sandwiches… Good and popular, prepared al paso (to command) by Nelly, very smiling.

Table for gourmets at really affordable prices, a good address! The paneled mozzarella sticks accompanied by raw ham and rockets followed by the intern in Basque were delicious and tasty. Beautiful presentation of dishes, originality of dishes and nobility of ingredients that change traditional restaurants.

The renowned restaurant of Lucia Soria, the protected Argentine chef Francis Mallmann, is one of the first to have opened in Sarandi Street in 2012, not far from the beautiful square Zabala. The slate is prepared according to seasonal products and the site is wide. We appreciate the terrace, the mouthful of the cover with very good bread and finely prepared entries, as well as desserts. On the other hand, dishes lack attention, both in cooking meat and in the accompanying proposal. The price is expected to be better. Too bad, all the more so since midmidi there is no «executive menu», everything is à la carte and prices are salted.

This new bar-restaurant with a surfing atmosphere brings together the families and groups of young people in a goguette. Its garden in the background is particularly pleasant for dinner with a dish (the salmon was delicious), a pizza fire or burger. You can also sip a cocktail while playing football. The dishes are rich and tasty without being too expensive. In season, parties with good Djs attract the world. Think about booking your table because the place is popular.

Not many restaurants in Mercedes, you will need to be satisfied with places like El Patio, which includes beautiful copious salads, pizzas and other local specialties, and sushi more or less successful. We love the atmosphere, with concerts every night of the weekend and the artisanal beers flowing through the lively evenings on TV.

You will soon realize that: The map is often identical in all restaurants at the Cabo Polonio, with few exceptions. In classic options, Timbo is a good table for reasonable prices and fish of the day prepared for plancha, careful cooking and generous servings. Nothing sophisticated, but it's good. And with its terrace overlooking the main street, the place is very pleasant. The atmosphere is a stranded strand the nights of match.

This is a pleasant terrace, the feet in the water and the nose in the wind. The B & B table offers a very simple family cuisine, a little slow, but the gargantuan quantities and the freshness of the fish: we are among fishermen. Enjoy the view of the beach and its animation. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Don't look for it: this is the best address for lunch or dinner in Manantiales. If the prices are very salty, the plates of the Fish Market have the merit to be at the height of the displayed standing. For seafood lovers, it's a real pleasure to see the cooks working in the open kitchen while you sip a delicate cocktail on the chic terrace. Special mention for the catch of the day, for the grilled octopus (a delight) and for the sushi. The desserts are also very well prepared and the local wines are carefully selected.

Very central popular restaurant with terrace on the street that offers a good parilla of carefully selected and grilled meat pieces, and the usual chivitos, pizzas, fresh beers. All well treated. 

This is the fashionable place in Rivera, always animated, with concerts organized every Friday at 10:00 p. m. The plate accompanies fresh beer (or otherwise), empanadas gourmets and very good pizzas. A good, pretty atmosphere. 

The new Maxim hotel table is just a short walk away. On the menu: delicious cheese-wrap boards, delicious artisanal pasta, simple dishes (milanesas) or more worked (merluza at plancha, paella…). The frame is elegant, perfect for a dinner even if the lunch menus are more interesting. 

One of the best tables in the city, both for its parilla grilled and regional dishes and home pasta. Beautiful presentation of dishes, gargantuan quantities.

We wonder how this restaurant with creative cuisine landed here in San José, but it's very nice to sit in front of beautiful colored plates with lots of vegetables and perfectly prepared meat. Salades, natural fresh juice, you can also choose light plates, real happiness. The recently opened place is very pleasant and central, in the emblematic Teatro Maccio.

Macachin combines a very creative kitchen with an aesthetic, a real happiness for the French of Passage! In slate: soup, fish, meat worked with seasonal vegetables, homemade pasta. Everything is appetising, like shrimps in rum, black garlic and curry of the seven seas… A beautiful discovery for gourmets.

This is the best address in the city to eat a good meat grilled to the parilla. The location is completely new, pleasant, with a simple decoration but tasteful, bright… The meat is delicious, of course, with many pieces of choice.

Housed in a former general store with vaulted ceilings, this elegant restaurant is a sensory experience not to be missed. The plates presented are both aesthetically pleasing and flavorful, offering an alternative to local parrillas. Ingredients are sourced from the garden and farm, including rabbit, chilies, strawberries and edible flowers. Recommended dishes include fish soup and minced leg of lamb. The a la carte menu has a fixed price and can be repeated as many times as you like.

This is the best address to eat well at the floor price in Manantiales, in an attractive place - a shared beer garden with a glacier, a crewman and a salesman salesman. Bacanal offers revisited chivitos and «sea sandwiches». The shrimp and avocado accompanied by vegetable chips is as delicious as it is rich. It is open at any time. We also recommend ice cream and beers to water your sandwich. 

This gastronomic icon is world-renowned for both its oceanfront location and the excellence of its cuisine. The house specialties include fish, shellfish and sushi served in a lively setting that is particularly popular during the summer months. In fact, despite its multiple rooms and terraces, the establishment is always full to bursting, welcoming some 800 guests daily. It is in this place that the rising stars of the national gastronomy come to forge a promising future.

Just a few steps from the bus terminal, this address is very convenient for eating good burgers (fat and consistent), pizza, sandwich or chivito, all served in very large quantities with heavy fries, as usual in Uruguay.
