The 23 Essential Montevideo Restaurants
"A gorgeous, high-ceilinged bookstore with colorful tiled floors forms the entrance to this charming cafe, tailor-made for a quiet midmorning coffee and snack or a late afternoon craft beer (note that tables fill up rapidly at lunchtime). The simple menu includes spinach tarts, soups, and sandwiches on bread that is dense and moist (still a rarity in a city that prefers the airy baguette), plus a generous selection of desserts, like carrot cake and brownies. The owners are also behind another beautiful cafe space, Cultural Alfabeta, and the kitchen of the new five-star Hotel Montevideo. — NMW" - Marcela Baruch, Nell McShane Wulfhart
