The 23 Best Restaurants in Montevideo, Uruguay | Eater

"Montevideo used to have medio tanques (street barbecues) on corners all over the city, acting as pitstops for taxi drivers and workers. They inspired producer Fernanda Rodríguez and her husband, chef José Luis Torres, to open parrilla La Tira in 2019, where they source meat from a nearby butcher shop and vegetables from the street market. Sitting on the sidewalk, standing at the narrow bar tacked onto the open windows, or enjoying food at one of the mismatched tables in the square across the street, residents of the Palermo neighborhood made La Tira a go-to place to gather. Don’t miss the perfectly cooked strip steak, the chorizos, and salads, and be sure to have a vermouth or a beer with your meal. — MB" - Marcela Baruch
