Where to eat Argentinean food in Montevideo: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Reviews on Argentinean food in Montevideo, Montevideo Department, Uruguay. Montevideo, a port city and the capital of Uruguay, is a perfect destination for travelers looking for a relaxing stroll past colonial era buildings and along beautiful beaches. The Ciudadela Gateway, the only remaining section of the wall that once surrounded the entire city, now serves as the entrance to Ciudad Vieja, Montevideo's oldest neighborhood. Home to churches, museums, and theaters, at night the area comes alive with nightclubs playing Tango and Candombe music for crowds of dancers.

Su Bar really feels like your bar, the owner and wait staff are very friendly and make you feel like you are part of their family. They offer a rotating menu that showcases French style cuisine with Uruguayan favorites, such as milanesas (fried chicken or beef schnitzel). My husband is French and this restaurant is located in our neighborhood of Parque Rodo and we eat here often. During our many visits we have always received top service and delicious food. Just recently we tried their vegetable canelones, which are crepes stuffed with vegetables and spinach and topped with a cream and tomato sauce, garnished with a piece of slow roasted beef. All served with a side salad. You will not go hungry, in fact the portions are so generous, my husband and I split the main dish and salad and saved room for a great piece of chocolate ganache pie and ice cream. Everything here is homemade with care. You will also find the best selection of whisky that weâve seen on offer here in Uruguay. If you are in the area for lunch, drop on in, we are certain you will not be disappointed.Thank you very much!You're always welcome

Yes, the title says it all. I enjoy their outdoor seating. I dined at Terracota twice within one week. Once with friends visiting from the US and the second time alone. Service was ok, nothing spectacular. Food was good both times. I would return simply out of convenience.

This is the second time I've been served a feedlot (i.e. grain fed) entrecote steak in Montevideo. A worrying sign, given how spectacular the grass-fed steaks are. More worrying is that the restaurant does not declare it on the menu. How to spot one? Take a look at the attached photo. Feedlot steaks usually look great. They are uniform. Grass-fed entrecote are irregular. The proof is in the texture and taste. Feedlot steaks are chewy and don't have the same delicious taste of grass-fed beef. In fact they are tasteless - the main reason why abroad you usually are served steak with a sauce that disguises the (lack of) flavour. The fat in them is also not easily digested so there's also the tell-tale feeling of the steak lying heavy in the stomach for hours after the meal, something which you don't get if the steak is from a grass-fed cow. Sitting here now, enjoying tje dessert, an apple pancake that is fabulous, knowibg that I'm going to have that heavy sensation all afternoon.A shame, because the place is great and my waiter wad ver friendly. That steak, though, means I can't give this place more than one star.

5. Empanadas La Cibeles

I ordered two caprese empanadas and a carbonated water. The empanadas were large and warm to the touch. This was a good start. I bite into the first of the two empanadas and encountered a great deal of cheese (too much in my opinion). The further along in eating the large empanada the less warm and pleasant is the experience. I think much less cheese would have been a plus along with thoroughly warm empanada inside as well as outside. Exceptional value though. I will give Las Cibeles another try.

We had been recommended this restaurant so our expectations were rather high, but even so it surprised us with its excellences.Everything was great - the service, the ambiance, the interior design etc.The food was cooked to perfection and the dishes really elevated all its ingredients. The wine list was also great and the staff were able to give some insightful help in choosing wine.Iâm very restricted when it comes to give spaces a 5 star review, but in this case there are no other options then 5 stars.

Restaurant specializing in traditional Uruguayan kitchen and grill
Reviewed By LiuS593
We came to Garciaâs following recommendation of curator of Andes 1972 museum and this was our best parrilla that we had in Montevideo! Baby beef and morcilla were divine! We also had soft drinks and huge tomato and palmitos salad and paid 2000 pesos (56 euros), including 10% tip, which is a great price for the outstanding quality. Definitely not to me missed! Tip: in all Montevideo restaurants, if you are a foreigner and pay by card (credit or debit) you pay only 4% VAT, which means that 18% get returned to your card afterwards. So in reality, this meal cost us 10 euros less (46 euros).

Wanted something light in the late afternoon, and this place fit the bill. Close to the Sheraton where we were staying. Had the dual of chirizo and the sweat morcilla (a kind of blood sausage. Both were very good and you would never have guessed that morcilla is a blood sausage (the sweet form has orange rinds, cinnamon, and other interesting ingredients). Service was great. Will be back this trip for sure!
