And just another parrilla: Restaurant La Otra Parrilla (15. October 2017)

And in the evening it was time for another piece of meat. I went for the “Ojo de Bife Ancho” (540 UYU) which was decent in terms of taste and flavour but not entirely to my liking in terms of texture. The fatty and stringy part was too much but at least it was full […]

Not efficient but with interesting flavours: Heladería Rodó (15. October 2017)

When you are walking along the sea shore you figure where life in Montevideo takes place. The city itself seems rather empty. There is noone – literally, sometimes when you’re roaming the streets it feels like you’re alone there. And I’m not talking about after midnight but really just all the time. The Heladeria Rodo […]

Messy, smokey place – worth experiencing: Restaurant La Cocina de Pedro (15. October 2017)

Messy, smokey place – worth experiencing: Restaurant La Cocina de Pedro (15. October 2017)

I guess we were rather lucky to still score a table around lunchtime as the place is completely booked out most of the times. We ended up waiting 30 seconds before a table become available – on the top floor which, I figured after 2 days of parillas in Montevideo, isn’t the perfect location as […]

Decent breakfast selection: Restaurant Las Carretas (15. October 2017)

At first, I almost didn’t find the restaurant as it is kind of hidden behind the entrance close to the lobby but again, I was positively surprised about the selection of foods they offer. Starting from rather regular elements like roasted potatoes, egg, bacon, and sausages … … to a selection of different breads and […]

Lovely place like in an old pharmacy: Restaurant Bar Tabaré (14. October 2017)

Lovely place like in an old pharmacy: Restaurant Bar Tabaré (14. October 2017)

We arrived rather early to the Bar Tabaré (around 7:30pm) and it was absolutely empty. So we were wondering a bit how these restaurants can survive. As it turned out later, around one hour later to be precise, the restaurant filled up quite a lot – at 8:30pm, it was completely packed. We started with […]

Great coffee place for a break in la ciudad vieja: The Lab Coffee Roasters (14. October 2017)

When you are roaming the old part of the city, ciudad vieja, you will find a couple of nice little cafés like “The Lab” which is a place which offers decent coffee. For one, I went for the “double espresso” (90 UYU) which was good and intense. The place is quite lovely in terms of […]

Great first parrilla experience but incredibly slow service: Restaurant La Chacra del Puerto @ Mercado del Puerto (14. October 2017)

After finally having arrived in Montevideo after quite an odyssey, it was time to start exploring the city and the first stop was the Mercado del Puerto. It is basically one huge former warehouse turned into a collection of different parillas. So basically what you get there is meat. A lot of different meats. Therefore, […]

Quite amazing lounge breakfast selection: Executive Club Lounge @ Sheraton Montevideo Hotel (14. October 2017)

The Executive Club Lounge on the 23rd floor of the hotel is definitely better than expected. The breakfast selection is quite extensive and you can find everything from a variety of different cereals to fresh juices, vegetables … … and fresh fruit, cut and whole. There are some jellies, cold cuts, and cheeses … … […]
