We were out in Punta late on Easter Tuesday, and this was literally the only place open. But it was fine - obliging service, comfortable room and HUGE portions. They plan to open all year round, and by the number of people dining, they will do well. Decent wine list, good barbecue food - what's not to like?

We spent over 15 nights traveling around Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay and this was by far our favorite dining experience. To start - the atmosphere was great, they made us terrific cocktails and their bread and yummy spread was delicious. Then for our meal - I had the gnocchi and then the filet. Both were outstanding. My husband has their homemade pasta and the lamb. Again, wonderful. We had a half bottle of local red wine which was a perfect pairing. Overall wonderful experience.

Went here with my mom, it’s a very cosy place with amazing food (I had the fish, perfect!) and cocktails! And not too expensive either, more the south american prices while the larger fancy restaurants are quite expensive (western proces), with less tasty food. Go here!!

Incredible well done barbecue place. Located in downtown Maldonado , this restaurant offers a good experience on how meat is prepared and offered in Uruguay. The place is simple, not fancy. Need to arrived early, otherwise will have to wait for a table. A bit noisy when it is crowded. Very good choice for getting away of glamorous places out of Punta del Este!

The first time, for dinner, we went we were surprised by the quality of their servings (be that meat, rice, dessert). The matambrito de cerdo was just fantastic. Really great service. We returned for lunch, and that just confirmed that this is a great restaurant, with fantastic food and service, and for that quality, not expensive at all. A must in Punta del Este.

We have stayed in Punta a number of times but this is the first time we have been to this restaurant. And it will not be the last! A great find. The menu offers a good choice and there is something to suit all tastes and moods. Clearly a very skilled Peruvian chef and we tried both the ceviche and the tiradito which were excellent. In fact all three courses we each had were delicious with the exception of the Thai chicken which was just ‘ok’, but I blame myself for ordering something which clearly was not a speciality in an Uruguayan restaurant with a Peruvian chef! Very friendly and efficient service. Definitely recommended. DearThank you for your comment. We are very happy to known that you enjoy your experience in Life Bistró.We hope to see you again Best Regards,

Food is very good and inexpensive, the asado (barbecued beef) is tops (Uruguayan beef is the best), sometimes they have live music (Usually very good, but if you want to talk skip that.) It's family owned and they are very friendly. Pastas are very good also.

Good place. Nice, honest food. If the weather is nice, there is outdoor seating. Don't ask for the creme brulée though, not their best dish.
