This place doesn't look fancy but the board on the street hints at the great food for a great price that is contains. We had the rack of lamb and we will be back!

Punto Sur

Reviewed By Romina S

We went there hoping it would be a nice place to have some drinks and eat something while watching the sunset. So, we ordered beer and caipirinha, both great. Some crab and fries, both tasty, yet expensive. Sunset; check. Fresh air:check. The issue was that the service is by far the worst in La Paloma. The waitress tought he was doing us a favour or something. It was painfully slow, unattentive, plain rude when dropping things off compared to other places. They just left me waiting for my order for 20 minutes after dropping my boyfriend's order, and did not clarify what was going on. It was like being back in Montevideo, basically. The plan was to stick around for a couple hours, but thankfully ,after an hour we decided to leave Punto Sur and finish our evening in a small place with the nicest waitress ever.

Don Romulo

Reviewed By 68WorldTraveler68 - Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire

Recommended as one of the best places in town it was a bit of a disappointment. Although we were seated very quickly the food took forever to arrive. The menu was a bit limited, drinks were okay, nothing much for vegetarians, salads were very basic and Deserts unmemorable.

LaPe

La Pe it's a restaurant placed in the centre of La Pedrera were you can eat shrimp, fish, sea food, paella and pasta. It also serves breakfast. It has a place special for kids and a beautiful garden, with the most delicious food.

Reviewed By LDutraSantos - Rio de Janeiro, RJ

We stayed under a tree and had dinner there. Food was good, I had mussels, good local wine list, fair price. It's always good to have a meal under the stars and trees.

Lucifer

Reviewed By RomeLorenzo - Rome

This truly magical place has become even better than last year. Improvements made to the property but it's simplicity remains. Attention to detail without fussiness is sublime. Augustina's cuisine divine as always, sourced from the freshest local produce. Frankly this place is rather off he beaten track by I'd go there from the North Pole just to keep the warmth of the memory for the rest of the year.

La Proa

Reviewed By LosAlaskanos - Aguas Dulces, Uruguay

Proa has a great, well deserved, reputation. The chef Gustavo is a commercial fisherman turned restaurant owner/chef. I don't know how he was as a fisherman but he is a great chef! The staff is wonderful and outside dining is right on the beach. What a view! Another of my favorite restaurants.

Francis Mallmann - El Garzon

Reviewed By SandSS - Florida

It is hard to believe that you drive 30 minutes down a dirt road to find this gem and not only is it the best, but also the most expensive, meal we ate in all of Uruguay. It is literally in the middle of nowhere but Frances Mallmann lives up to his reputation in this quaint poolside restaurant serving top notch gourmet food. Truly worth the visit!

Reviewed By Romina S

Awesome place. I had a pear daiquiri, then an apple daiquiri, and a great seafood salad. The shrimp good the biggest I have seen, everything looked fresh. The waitress was very nice and made our experience even better. A nice place to hang for a couple of hours , drink a cold daiquiri or beer, and try awesome desserts

Lo de Dani

Reviewed By Canuck5711 - St. Albert, Canada

We were at Dani's place one beautiful night at Cabo Polonio, Rocha, Uruguay. El Polonio was one of the point of interests we visited with our co-parents-in-law in our two weeks trip to Uruguay (last week of March and first of April 2014). We had dinner trying "chivitos al plato" and fish and "flan with dulce de leche" as a desert.The size and taste of dishes was excellent; the service and attention superb considering the isolation of this wonderful place. We also enjoyed the conversation with Dani about the people at Polonio and their concerns on the environment. Next day at noon we asked Dani for fish milanesa to go for our trip to Punta del Este; other delicatessen. We were joking comparing that amazing food with the McFish filet. If you are going to Polonio, stop at Dani's: you will not be repented of.
