I discovered this interesting coffee shop today. It’s placed right behind the Alliance Française de Montevideo. It’s almost hidden, so you will never find it too crowded, which is something great if you want to enjoy a wonderful time drinking a nice coffee and looking at the Alliance’s cute backyard. As the Alliance’s library is placed very close from there, you could go, grab a book and spend a relaxing time reading something cool in French.

Everything we had here was very good. I do think I ordered the iced coffee wrong though because ours was smaller than one I saw someone else get. But it was still good. The employees were nice. Maybe a way to have more air in hot summer days would be the only recommendation.

Cute indoor/outdoor café nestled in the back. They have the best pastries ever!

The brunch (Sunday) was outstanding! You should come here for the raspberry crumb alone. I had the pancakes that would put most places to shame. My girlfriend has the open sandwich which was bursting with flavour. The service was excellent and welcoming. Go here if you get the chance. It's hidden round the back of the art centre.

I went to the Bistro to enjoy some French Culture... My experience was really bad. I order a coffe and a pice of Cake... Cost... 14 US Dollars.... They do not give me a menu-card so they charge you what they want.. ( tipically Uruguayan style). they call it viveza criolla. They have no newspapers, or magazines in french... they have some in Brazilian... well I expected some " French Culture" and old magazine, some books, maybe newspapers... nothing at all. The place is agreable, staff is nice, but really the price they charge is simple a robbery. They have prices from Paris and very very little quality, coffe with bad taste in a cheap cup, and cake in a plate that look like an ashtray.... well maybe they have to travel to Paris and learn something... Give quality and ask for a price... not asking price for nothing..... So really do not waste your money...... they do not give any service or quality just want to steal money....

Excellent food & great service.

Excellent food, service and surroundings! It's a little hard to find though, a real hidden gem!

Coffee was decent and the food was ok, service was average

Lovely little spot in the garden behind the Alliance Francais. Exactly what it ought to be - delicious, yet simple fare, great service.

Food and coffee was ok, but not worth it. Place is very nice and comfortable.

Great brunch! Excellent service.

Good food, cozy atmosphere, and good service.
