Things to do in Maldonado
1. Estrecho
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 651 reviews
Reviewed By Jeff K - Pittsburgh
I’m surprised by a few of the negative comments. My wife and I had a great lunch at a reasonable price. Only negative is that they’re not open for dinner.
My swordfish was perfectly cooked - crisp on the outside, moist on the inside. Soups were also high quality. The waitresses were very good and spoke great English. We also spoke with the head chef who was extremely friendly and helpful.
We arrived a little after noon and there was only one other customer in the place. By the time we left it was filled.

Fusion cuisine with European, Latino and Asian influences, one of the most famous Chef in the country. Unique dishes in relaxed and elegant room. Good wine list tables, should be reserved.

A quite lunch... but quite a Lunch!
Excellent option for those who want something more than a typical "meat place" in Montevideo. The decor is cute and charming. It feels like a bohemian reato hidden in a quite neighborhood. The service is impecable, friendly but professional an courteous and homey at the same time. The food is excellent and somehow adventurous for Uruguayan standards . Diversity and creativity combined with passion and inspiration is the key to this fantastic option in Montevideo. One of the best food experiences I had in this city which I have been visiting for more than 30 years.
Go for lunch, you' llene treated like a Royalty
3. Francis Restaurant

My boyfriend and I came to Francis for dinner! The food was absolutely amazingly delicious! I would recommend it! We had the chorizo, salmon sushi and potato skins as appetizer. For dinner we had the mushroom risotto! My only reason for giving it a 4 was that the service lacked a bit. It took forever to get drinks or place my order in. The server forgot to bring us water for a good 20 minutes. But the taste of the food was worth it!
4. La Pulperia

Welcome to La Pulperia, a family business that already has more than 20 years offering a unique place to eat the traditional food of Uruguay. We are a small place but with very warm atmosphere, a spectacular food, and a friendly and attentive staff. We have a place to eat inside the premises and a few tables just outside for those who like to be outdoors. Our goal is that our customers leave satisfied in order to come back and tell their family and friends.

La Pulperia is known as one of the best parrillas in Montevideo - well I agree! Not your typical sit down restaurant which makes the experience even more amazing! It’s busy and the line is out the door. A must try in Montevideo.
5. Bodega Bouza
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2 reviews
Besides the fact that you can come to have a guided tour throughout the winery, vineyards, wine cellar and a classic car museum you can also have wine tastings and lunch. We think that the best food is usually the simple food made with high quality ingredients is the best. Our speciality are the grilled meats but do not hesitate to try our more elaborated dishes. We recommend if you are paying us a visit to do it chill, not in a hurry so you can enjoy your staying the best.

7. Restaurante Garni

Reviewed By Pablo R - Montevideo
It's been years coming to Maldonado and even Punta del Este looking for "that " restaurant that challenges your senses. We finally found it in Solis, way closer to Montevideo. Middle Eastern dishes cooked to perfection but that's just the beginning. The ambiance and the Service are also 5 stars; I haven't had such level of service in Punta del Este and probably in Uruguay.
Do NOT miss it!
Only warning: cash only (no cards).
8. Las Cumbres

Excellent Restaurant and Tea House, with superb views of Punta del Este, the Laguna del Sauce and the sea, where you can enjoy a gastronomic service capable of satisfying the most demanding palates.
Reviewed By nowitsmillertime - Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Usually this is an amazing place. Very unique property with amazing views. This time the wait staff just couldn't seem to get anything right and everything took agonizingly long amounts of time. As I usually love this place, I will return, but a repeat would make me take my business elsewhere

Reviewed By Gustavo O - Miami
I went there with my wife and some friends with not high expectations, the place is not in a commercial or trendy area in Maldonado city, from outside is like to see a "conventillo", but the experience by itself is unique.
Very warm and cozy place, with a great staff and fantastic food. The Brocoli Noquis and the Boar Chops delicious, we ask some Lamb Empanadas and Sea Food Tatar that were very tasty too.
If you are in punta thinking to try something different, you have to try this place. Remember that they do not take Reservations, so you should go as early as you can.

Reviewed By Vagner P - Madrid, Spain
The little cafe is super cozy and the owners super nice! We had a great Sandwich and cappuccino in a cold afternoon. The owner offered a slice of a chocolate pie (for free) she was saving for herself in the back because my wife wanted a chocolate desert... the two sisters also gave us plenty of tips on where to eat and go in Montevideo. True representation of the nice Uruguayan people! SUPER recommend!!
