Im an hispanic-american that happened to be at Montevideo for a wedding weekend, and ended up tonight having dinner at El Tio Bristo home restaurant, I'm shocked that me been a beef adict, who has tried every rebeye, every beef dish there is, had tonight the best meat probably in my life if not for sure one of the bests, they cooked the meat for 12 hours and it was insane how soft it was, they do everything them self, they will not sell you pre-elaborated products, all they provide is a home crafted menu they do, also the sell each table only once per night, so you are lucky to get a table there, this is a genuine home made food, with the best kitchen there is, Im honestly mind blown, I wish we had this kind of places in America, probably a good busines model to explore in the first world.

(Translated by Google) It was without a doubt the best experience in a restaurant I had in Montevideo. The bistro has a very cozy atmosphere. The food is spectacular and much more generous than the other meals I've had in town. The service provided by the owner and his wife were welcoming and made us feel very comfortable. I don't usually repeat experiences, but I would definitely go again and recommend it to everyone. (Original) Sem dúvida foi a melhor experiencia em um restaurante que tive em Montevidéu. O ambiente do bistrô é muito aconchegante. A comida é espetacular e bem mais generosa do que as outras refeições que fiz na cidade. O atendimento feito pelo dono e sua esposa foram acolhedores e fizeram nos sentirmos bem a vontade. Não costumo repetir experiencias, mas com certeza iria de novo e recomendo a todos.

So called a hidden gem. Absolutely delightful experience.

The nicest atmosphere and most incredible food. The owner is the nicest person I have ever met. He accommodated me and my family when we were late for our reservation. Our phones died and we asked him if he could maybe call us a taxi and he drove us himself back to our hotel! Just the most incredibly sweet man. I thoroughly enjoyed the restaurant and would recommend the gnocchi and the burrata.

Homemade food in a home converted to a restaurant! And what a restaurant! Great warm ambience, amidst an antique decoration. Premium ingredients in your plate, excellent wines in your glass and some relaxing tunes for your ears! A must go in Montevideo, pet friendly as well!

They really nailed the atmosphere, it is cozy and comfortable, also feels pretty personalized being waited by the owner himself. The food is varied and certainly deserves the reviews. Overall calling it a hidden gem is not an exaggeration and it is worth to make a reservation and eat a splendid meal.

comida increíble! This place is amazing. Delicious food and great ambiance. Highly recommend for anyone considering authentic Uruguayan cuisine!

An increíble place, very well served. Lovely attention and the atmosphere complements it amazingly. The menu is limited to few options which rotate per month. Albeit, this plays in favor of the quality. Highly recommended.

What a beautiful place. Small restaurant at the back of owners house. Great service from the owners and good choice of food and drinks. Wine list comprehensive- great quality and keen prices. Highly recommended

Best food in Latin America we’ve had is here. Delicious food and very attentive staff. We enjoyed it

This is now my favorite restaurant

It's a lovely family run restaurant. Service was excellent and that's very valuable. I didn't like one of the dishes I'd ordered and they immediately offered other options and didn't charge me for the food I didn't like. But I have to say that all other plates were absolutely tasty! I would definitely recommend this restaurant and for sure come back again

Great food and a lovely environment. Nice and private with attention to detail and wonderful hospitality

Fernando & Christina's restaurant was an unprecedented choice in Uruguay. We were very well received by the couple who provided us with an unforgettable night at a very well located table, in fact all the tables are interesting. The place is a true "bistro" as the name suggests. The delights were served and a good wine was suggested for accompaniment. Anyway, a great night, really a party.

(Translated by Google) Culinary experience - Perfect place to dine as a couple or with friends with corners created to give privacy, requires reservation as it is designed for 25 people and only Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Do they have the delicacy to wait for you with these cold ones with a stove on, blankets and shorts made of pumpkin soup seasoned with cardamom? I'm not sure, I invite you to be surprised and pancitos with garlic and a Creole with beans. It has a variety of starters, black pudding, cured salmon, vegetable tower, which we did not try, as well as the extensive wine list, which can be ordered by the bottle or glass. The surprises continue hand in hand with the main dishes: I chose the chef's suggestion, mortadella ravioli (yes, don't be afraid) with pistachios and four-cheese sauce with fennel and parmesan flakes, while my partner had a pork fillet, slow cooked, with green salad and cream cheese (a spill) I tried a drink that I don't remember the name, but it's tequila, beer and lime, very refreshing We left a little place for dessert that we share, a blondie tower, mousse combination, very smooth and an adequate portion. In short, if gluttony is a sin, I am a sinner. (Original) Experiencia culinaria - Lugar perfecto para cenar en pareja o con amigos con rincones creados para dar intimidad, requiere reserva ya que está pensado para 25 comensales y solo jueves, viernes y sábado. Tienen la delicadeza de esperarte con estos fríos con estufa prendida, mantitas y unos shorts de sopa de calabaza condimentada con cardamomo? No estoy segura, los invito a sorprenderse y pancitos con ajo y una criollita con frijoles. Tiene unas entradas variadas, morcillas , salmón curado, torre de vegetales, que no probamos, así como tampoco la extensa carta de vinos,que se puede pedir por botella o copa. Las sorpresas siguen de la mano de los platos principales: yo elegí la sugerencia del chef, raviolones de mortadela ( si, no tengan miedo) con pistachos y salsa cuatro quesos con hinojo y lascas de parmesano, mientras que mi pareja un matambrito de cerdo, a cocción lenta, con ensalada de verdes y queso crema (un desbunde) Probé un trago que no recuerdo el nombre, pero es tequila, cerveza y lima, muy refrescante Dejamos un lugarcito para el postre que compartimos, una torre Blondie, combinación de mousse, muy suave y una porción adecuada. En resumen, si la gula es un pecado, soy una pecadora

(Translated by Google) A hidden treasure in the heart of Diving. It is a restaurant set up in a neighborhood house. A refined setting, first class service and excellent cuisine make this place something special for special occasions. The prices are somewhat high but they go according to the intimacy of the place, its attention and its excellent dishes. (Original) Un tesoro escondido en el corazón del Buceo. Es un restaurante constituido en una vivienda del barrio. Una ambientación refinada, atención de primer nivel y gastronomía excelente hacen de este lugar algo especial para ocasiones especiales. Los precios son algo elevados pero van de acuerdo a lo íntimo del lugar, su atención y sus excelentes platos.

(Translated by Google) Excellent, excellent! The restaurant operates in the owner's house and, therefore, is closed, only accessible by reservation. The owner himself and his wife welcomed us at the door. They are super friendly. The food is delicious. Starter, main course and dessert. All very well served, neither too much nor too little. The wine, at the ideal temperature. The atmosphere is cute, very intimate, with great background music. Would recommend and would definitely go back. (Original) Excelente, excelente! O restaurante funciona na casa do dono e, por isso, é porta fechada, só acessível por reserva. O próprio dono e sua esposa nos receberam na porta. São super simpáticos. A comida é deliciosa. Entrada, prato principal e sobremesa. Tudo muito bem servido, nem demais nem de menos. O vinho, na temperatura ideal. O ambiente é uma graça, bem intimista, com ótima musica ambiente. Recomendo e com certeza, voltaria.

This isnt a typical restaurant ... Its an experience! Thank you very much TIO for your hospitality... It was a great night!

Excellent food and atmosphere! I had the fish (lenguado) which was really delicious. Wine was great, service authentic and friendly. The restaurant is in a home with tables spread throughout the first floor. Really lovely evening.
