Place is very small, only 5 tables so better to book if possible. They offer some cocktails from which we tried two (mojito and gin citric) and they were nicely made. Then we had empanaditas de osobuco and a small pizza as starters; both of them nice although the empanaditas really rocked. They were really good.Pizza's dough was neutral, pre-cooked and standard;toppings were nice. For the main dishes we went for the "lasagna de carne" and "moussaka de cordero". Great options, felt like grandma's cuisine.The only down-side to the experience was their wine menu, which is terribly short and options are not the best. Their fanciest bottle goes for 460 pesos and its a pinot noir. Overall, we had a great dinner, the service was truly good and attentive. Will surely come back.

2. Roe eat&drink
Roe eat & drink, is a new Restaurant in Punta del Este. A warm and relaxed proposal, where each client arms his own order. Helped by its owners. In a pleasant frame in the middle of the forest. Quality, attention and good gastronomy accompany us ...

In Uruguay where every restaurant seems to offer the same basic menu any place that tries to offer something a little different is most welcome. This new place on a non tourist street in Maldonado is most welcome in the neighborhood. Pizza and empanadas are standard in UY but here they offer fresh made quesadillas or fajitas instead. And while the flavors lack what would be called Mexican, they were quite good.The place is tiny, being inside a converted shipping container and being too cold to eat outside but they offer take-out which was nice. Restaurant was full of locals, so hopefully they will be able to stay open all year as planned. Although I think they are closed for all of May. Will definitely be going back to try more things and support a new neighborhood place.
