@William: thanks so much for your fantastic comment! There is a very ineffable quality about the country that just begs you to return time and again. Whenever we start to reminisce about our trip, we joke about buying property there for our retirement, but even if that doesn’t happen, we’ll definitely be going back. We do our very best to bring what we can of the parrilla culture to our home whenever we can. We can’t wait until we return to Uruguay to have grilled sweatbreads again so we have to make them ourselves! Thanks again for visiting!

Hey, great representation of a fantastic cuisine and country! I just wanted to thank you for posting it. I myself was able to visit Uruguay for one month back in 2011, and had the best vacation of my life. (And I have been all over the world…) Since then I have been to Uruguay 2 more times. Both in summer and in winter. (Winter there is summertime in Norway where I am from, and hight of summer is around Christmas and January). Winter there is like a chilly norwegian summer, but with highs up to about 25-28 degrees. But summer is my favourite time there… miles and miles of beautiful beaches… fantastic friendly people… some of the best food in the world!… at a very modest costlevel. I just love the parrilla culture! I am already planning my next trip… and my retirement.. there.

Where to eat and drink in Montevideo. One of the best places to eat and drink it’s at Parrillada „La Charrette“, Address: Ayacucho 3199, Montevideo, Uruguay, lacharrette@hotmail.com, +5982 486 40 83, Parrillada-Restaurant with big terrase, open every single day from 19:00 to 2.00 AM. A wonderful little romantic place for dinner in which exquisite meat and great oldies music combine in order to make a fabulous meel. Color changing wall lights help you to calm down and relax before eating. Parrillada La Charrette has a Slow Food philosophy. It‘s the first Slow Food Parrillada in Uruguay. You will share a new sensory experience. Considered by locals as one of the best Parrillada of Montevideo and one of the unknown toursist gems. The Rural-Gaucho style decoration makes the place very warm and cosy. It‘s located in a very safe and chic neighbourhood called Parque Battle (in front of a famous tree called „El Ombú de Parque Batlle“, close to the very famous Football Stadium „Estadio Centenario“. The Batlle Park is One of the largest park. His owner „Alejandro“ is very friendly and makes you feel at home. He speaks perfekt german, swiss german, french, english, italian, portuguese, and of course spanish. Certainly one of the best little Parrillada-Restaurant from Montevideo. Doubtless the only and the first Parrillada-Restaurant in whole Uruguay serving all dishes “à la minute”. In addition to this the prices are not high at all so you can eat without thinking on how much will it cost. After eating you can walk (1 km) to the next exclusive neighborhood „Pocitos“ and walk along the shore of „Pocitos Beach“, Playa Pocitos. Enjoy it: Montevideo, Uruguay, Restaurant, Parrillada, Meat, Carne Seleccionada, Chorizo, Morcilla Dulce, Morcilla Salada, Entrecôte, Pulpa, Matambrito, Pollo, Costilla de Cerdo, Asado de Tira, Ensaldas, Postres.
