"For many years, Uruguay was internationally recognized for its quality meat, but it was inaccessible to locals; virtually all of it was exported. Eduardo Parodi, one of the owners, says García — originally opened as a canteen in 1967 in the Carrasco neighborhood — hit its stride in 2000 when the kitchen began to grill export-quality meat for local diners, first lamb and then beef, followed by an improved wine list and other offerings. Now García is a fine dining benchmark in the city. True to the Uruguayan old-school style, the waiters continue to dress the salad at the table, and the service is formal, down to the white tablecloths. Don’t miss the rack of lamb and the salads, and keep in mind the portions are huge so it’s always advisable to share. A couple of years ago the restaurant team opened a second location in the Punta Carretas neighborhood to great success. — MB" - Marcela Baruch, Nell McShane Wulfhart

Uruguay Natural Parrilla Gourmet

Uruguayan restaurant · Montevideo

"Primer restaurante de carnes certificadas por el instituto nacional de carnes (INAC) en Uruguay. En las praderas uruguayas el ganado se cría a cielo abierto todo el año, en completa armonía con la naturaleza. El clima templado, las tierras fértiles y la gran abundancia de aguadas aseguran el bienestar de los animales. Experimentar la carne uruguaya, además de ser un homenaje al paladar, es un regalo para la salud. Asociada a la alimentación del ganado solo con pasturas naturales, nuestras carnes contienen 4 veces más Omega 3 y altos índices de vitamina E, un antioxidante natural que actúa contra el envejecimiento humano."
