Restaurants in Montevideo

  1. A

    Mercado del Puerto

    Mercado del Puerto, on the Ciudad Vieja waterfront, is the classic place to eat in Montevideo. The densely packed parrillas here cater to every budget, competing like rutting elk to show off their obscenely large racks – of roasted meat and veggies, that is!

    La Corte

    OK, so maybe you'd rather not eat in a place once patronized by George W Bush, but the food is excellent at this elegant twin-level restaurant on Plaza Constitución. The lunchtime menu ejecutivo (business lunch) is a bargain.

    Kazbah

    The restaurant scene in Montevideo is just starting to get interesting, and this Middle Eastern inspired place is one of the forerunners. Come here for all your faves, like falafel, schwarma (doner kebabs), couscous and tagines.

    Panini's

    For fine dining, Italian style, try this place in the pedestrian zone just off Plaza Independencia. Pasta lovers will appreciate the degustación de pastas - a veritable smorgasbord of noodley delights.

    Che Montevideo

    The menu here features seafood with an international twist, but the biggest attraction is the open-air deck, providing spectacular views of the Río de la Plata and its sailboats at sunset.

    Lobizón 7

    Popular with young montevideanos, with inexpensive lunch specials including gramajo (a calorie-packed house special of eggs, ham and French fries). Live music some nights.

    Euskal Erria

    An excellent selection of Basque and Spanish dishes are on offer here, as is the best paella in town. Cheap jarras (jugs) of red wine are bound to keep you hanging around.

  10. Mediterráneo

    This trendy, dimly lit pizzeria in Palermo, with brick walls and high beamed ceilings, is on the expensive side, but the lunchtime menu ejecutivo is a great deal.

    Buffet Atlantida

    The selection here is mindblowing - pastas, parrillada and Chinese food, as well as daily specials like roast pork. Undeniable value for those with big stomachs and small budgets.
