My husband and I visited this quaint restaurant in Colonia recently. We were the only patrons most of the time we were there but it was an early dinner. We ordered the cheese sampler with meats, bread, truffles and vegetable tarts/quiches. The food was all delicious. It was a very neat atmosphere. The servers were very friendly and helpful. I...

Wonderful evening with food wine and one of the sharing platers. The staff are so friendly and really take care and a pride in their work explains the wine and good to you. The food was delicious but if you are looking for a big meal this is not the place to come to. The building is really small and... More

We walked past this place in the daytime and didn{t notice it was there, but upon reading Tripadvisor reviews for local places to eat we found this and looked it up. The wine was great and they allowed us to share a 4 glass wine tasting between the two of us. We ordered a set menu of cold meats, flan,... More

is in one of the most recognized places of Colonia ... a good selection of local wines (especially Tanat) and rich local cheeses to taste and also cured meat and more... but not expect a menu with elaborated dishes...his specialty are the "picadas"... Very well trained personnel and really good service in a small and unique place.

We went here before catching the ferry back to Buenos Aires. The people who worked there were very nice and welcoming. We had a delicious Sauvignon Blanc and then ordered a tasting of various local cheeses, bread, chorizo, sausage, and vegetable tarts. It was all excellent!

I went to El Buen Suspiro with a few friends off the recommendation from Trip Advisor. The food and staff did not disappoint! We had a great meal of wine, local cheeses, tarts, and dessert for a vey reasonable price. Would love to go back.

This is one of the smallest wine bar/restaurant we have ever been in our trips round the world, but one of the best. It is a tiny rustic place located in an old building in Colonia's old town. If you love cheese, cured meats and wine, you cannot leave Colonia without trying it. We had a selection of cheeses, cured... More

Today we had a great lunch at the smallest restaurant that we have ever been to! This little gem of a restaurant may on the face of it look like a well read book, but as they say don't judge a book by its cover. If you like to discover locally produced food and wine then you won't be disappointed... More

El Buen Suspiro is a tiny little place in an ancient little building on one of the oldest existing cobblestone streets in the old city. If you find it, you will enjoy great combinations of local wines and cheeses and mouth-watering bread, or order something more for a real meal. We went for lunch and loved the open-air dining area...

After a long week with lots of large, sometimes expensive meals, it was a refreshing change to experience a meal of locally produced "picadas", an Uruguayan version of Spanish tapas. The restaurant itself is very unique in that it is really tiny and cozy; almost magical. There may be five or six tables in total and the ceiling is very... More
