Simply an excellent meal. Montevideo appears slim on fine-dining options, but this is top caliber food that would fit in a white tablecloth setting, but delivered in a casual space. Must try
Seating is all at a counter in a narrow building, food is cooked...and prepared right in front of you lunch-counter style. The place is run by a husband/wife team who introduced themselves to us when they heard we were from the US. He apparently lived in Nashville for 10 years. They are in the restaurant and making your food, and do a great job. I had the filets, cooked perfectly. Paired with a nice dry tannant wine, the local varietal you will no doubt become familiar with in Montevideo.
Located in Ciudad Vieja, so if you are touring it is worth a stop while you are walking around the district. Ciudad Vieja also is home to many local business offices, so the lunch crowd is alot of locals on break. Always a good sign for a lunch spot.
This is a place that knows quality food and knows how to prepare a no-fluff, top quality experience for a reasonable price. A bit more expensive than average eatery in town, but well worth it.More
