    Hey Guys! Want a killer fresh cheesburger during your stay? This is your place. Incredible food, outdoor service and amazing people (Serrana incrieble!!). Fantastic scene in a great location to enjoy Ciudad Viaje (old city). They also have excellent flatbread pizzas, empanadas, salads, etc. Everything is homemade fresh. It's fun and delicious. Enjoy!

    i had the fish special with salad and it was properly cooked and very tasty. the pizza was bready and well covered with toppings. the service was the low point last night. it was busy and they had a new server so the rest of the staff had to work harder to compensate. it is probably not like this most of the time.

    The food and drink was excellent, especially the pizza and the Limonda, which was slightly fizzy with a hint of ginger I think. The pizza crust was perfect. There’s a dessert called Chiquitorta which was amazing— layers of chocolate cake with peanut icecream between and caramel on top— though it was explained poorly on the menu. We went in the Winter, but it was warm inside the restaurant and there was a standing heater next to our table. The pizza oven is visible over the bar which creates a very cozy atmosphere. When we arrived the place was mostly empty, but it filled up as we ate. The service remained attentive despite this and the waitress was very polite. Overall great experience.

    Not a lot of dining options in this part of town at night, but this turned out to be a great one. Empty when we sat down, (7PM) packed by the time we left, (8:40). Pizza, pasta, salad, desserts: all were exceptional.

    Very good food (try the pizza pepperoni, it's excellent), however the service can be better. After we needed some time more for ordering, the waitress never came back. After 30 minutes I went to ask if we can order. The Pizza got served and it was clear our glasses were empty, but not to the waitress... She left in a glimpse, so I needed again needed to ask for drinks. The ignoring continued, because we were clearly finished and the couple next to us was paying, the waitress didn't bother to let us pay as well. If you want to do some workout in standing up, looking for service, you need to be here.

    Food is great although servings could be a bit more generous. Service is very friendly and attentive. Atmosphere is great, considering you are right in the middle of Montevideo's Ciudad Vieja. However, people asking for money are a bit frequent around the place, particularly if you choose an outdoors table.

    A great place for a drink or a pizza. They use an oven with wooden fire. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to try their pizza, but a couple of beers. They don't accept mastercard, so bring visa or cash!

  • 4/5 David S. 11 months ago on Google
    Decent food, only serious option in the neighbourhood on Sunday evening. It is overpriced and the portions are small. Friendly staff.

  • 4/5 Ricardo Ivan M. 10 months ago on Google
    Very good food, serving size just right, service very friendly but a little slow and the atmosphere was just a bit loud for me. For 3 servings with a soda each and 1 dessert it was around U$S 75 including tip.

  • 4/5 Luis H. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a place with a good vibe, Perfect to enjoy a summer night to eat, have a drink and be with friends. The service takes a while when you arrive but then the attention improves.

  • 5/5 Alan D. 1 year ago on Google
    Tasty food and nice eating outside on a pedestrian street. We really enjoyed the salad and the food. There are a lot of homeless people on the street so be aware of your belongings. It was a really nice place to go for lunch.

  • 5/5 Andrew B. 1 year ago on Google
    We just sat down for a beer, which was very good and the servers were professional and courteous.

  • 5/5 Sascha Z. 5 years ago on Google
    Very famous area and good Restaurant. I was sitting there for around 5 minutes. After lots of people was passing buy to drink and eat. I just can say, do it! Its worth it and dont forget the tip! The service is very charming and knowing lots of languages. You can pay with Depit or Credit as well Cash :D

  • 5/5 Alejandro M. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic place in Ciudad Vieja! The price is a bit on the high end... As with most restaurants in the area. But at least here it's worth it. The food is delicious. I particularly enjoyed the rib eye with roasted potato and the cannelloni.

🫤 Not as good as the Google rating. Fried fish is OK, very basic food. Nothing special here. Service was good. The seating is very poor quality and not as nice as pictured, unfortunately as it is near the water but with no water views.
