A nice little restaurant very close (1 block) from the shopping district of Rivera (ra Sarandi). The waitress are very polite and eager to help in the food (and wine) choices. We order different cuts (vazio, entrecot and assado de tira) and all of them were cooked as ordered, with tender and juicy flavor. The portions are well sized. In a group of 8 we ordered 5 cuts , salad and fries. I`ve being in most of the parrillas in town and I`ll centanly return to El Galpon.

THEY STOPPED THE SPAGHETTI BUSINESS. They were terrible.
Now Gardel became one of the good parrillada in Rivera.
Several friends mentioned they lobe the place I denied to go back there due to the terrible experience with the spaghetti buffet.
Back last night I enjoied the parrilla quality. Really outstanding

the place is well located. i find that the A/C does not cool the restaurant during summer, and given that the huge open hearth grill is inside, be prepared to sweat.
What could be an acceptable atmosphere in winter is spoiled by the TV blaring away Brazilian soap operas, which is on perhaps for the benefit of the staff.
too bad for the atmosphere, because the food and the wine selection are quite good

Outstanding parrilla in Rivera
Meat is perfect, beer cold and service is kind.
Their new restaurant is nice and decoration is cool. Not to wonder restaurant get crowded, even being roomy.
It’s a shame that people around do have no vision of tourism, are rough and hillbilly.
Is it possible, a saturday evening, house full, beautiful place, workers transiting in and out with boxes of beer, for more than half an hour ????

When I say sweet I mean SWEET
unfortunataly for south american taste sweet things need to be sickly sweet.
This review is about brand's other location at shopping Melancia
To be honest I cannot compare to other ice cream places, but the one they serve here is fair enough.

I guess I reviewed this already together with Hotel.
The place is elegant, not just for that small town as it would be considered an elegant place to go wherever.
The food is usually good, mainly if you order beef or sheep, which are locar production and local specialities,
good wine chart
Vegetable is fresh, spaghetti al pesto would be a special choice due to fresh basil, but is overshadowed by the overcooked noodles (another uruguyan speciality, I mean overcook pasta).

Ótima opção para comer os famosos panchos uruguaios. O pancho tem de várias opções, e de fato é muito saboroso, vale a pena pedir. Atendimento bom e o preço ótimo.
