 Bar 62 (from the web) by andal13 "Bar 62" takes its name from the first trolley bus line inaugurated in Montevideo; this place is one of the "historical" bars of the city. The place is very cosy and well decorated; it also has a barbecue. The staff is really nice, and the music is great. During Saturday nights, the atmosphere is unique. "Bar 62" toma su nombre de la primera línea de trolebús inaugurada en Montevideo; este sitio es uno de los bares "históricos" de la ciudad. El lugar es muy acogedor y bien decorado; también tiene parrillada. El personal es realmente amable y la música es excelente. Los sábados a la noche el ambiente es espectacular.
I ate a "picada del mar al champagne" (seafood nibbles cooked with champagne), pear tart with almonds and icecream, and an excellent Tannat (red wine); we were invited with a glass of lemoncello (lemmon liqueur); everything was delicious.

Mercado del Puerto is such a wonderful place to taste local specialities, just follow the great smells and take a seat directely at the food-stands or out in the garden-restaurants. What a pity that I had a bad stomach in Montevideo, "Montezuma's revenge" had caught me 2 days before we came to Montevideo, I had to skip Buenos Aires but here I could at least do some walking again.
Take a look at my last photograph : that is a kind of ham that will be cut directely from that large piece, it was interesting to watch how they did it !

 coffee and cake by fool_moon All the typical food like the famous "chivito" which means "littlegoat" but is a egg-topped steak sandwich with salad, french fries. Special service for the coffee: comes with orange juice and separated whipped cream
The coffee service comes like in an old Viennese caf?: with a glass of freshly pressed orange juice, whipped cream separated, glass of water and excellent cake plus a candy.

 Sangria (picture from the web) by andal13 The tale says that the seventh son of a family (with no daughters between) on Friday nights becomes a wolf... ("lobizon"). El Lobizon is the name of a famous restaurant, situated at the basement of an old house; small tables, thistle chairs, half-light and soft music, make this place very special. Dice la leyenda que el séptimo hijo varón de una familia (sin niñas en medio) los viernes de noche se transforma en lobizón... "El Lobizón" es el nombre de un famoso restaurante, situado en el sótano de una vieja casona; mesitas, sillas de cardo, penumbra y música suave hacen de éste un lugar muy especial.
The most famous dish here is the gramajo (scrambled eggs with fries, onions and ham), and I highly recommend pollo al ajillo (chicken with garlic); the sangria is a "must" as well. El plato más famoso es el gramajo (revuelto de huevos, papas, cebollas y jamón), y yo recomiendo calurosamente el pollo al ajillo; la sangría es un clásico del local.

 pity poor vegetarians! by ellielou We didn't set out to go here, it was a place that seemed crowded enough to be good, but not so jammed packed that we couldn't sit down. It was sooooooooooo good.
Meat. Got to order the meat. Had some special rolled beef thing, stuffed with cheese and olives, etc. Great chorizo, and provolenata (grilled cheese). Fine local house wine. Fine and cheap. Leave a Comment

 Sarandi Pedestrian St. by andal13 If you ask any Montevidean for the most typical restaurant, probably the answer is "La Pasiva". "La Pasiva" is the name of a chain of restaurants; there are several "Pasivas" in Montevideo and other cities in Uruguay. They are popular, nice and unassuming restaurants.

Pasta and pizza fatto in casa. If you want a "staid" lunch or dinner, may be "Sorrentinos Alfredo", with a good red wine (Tannat, Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot); for an informal occasion, may be a pizza "4 staggioni" (my favourite); as dessert, icecream or the most delicious "profiteroli" of the world.
