The 23 Best Restaurants in Montevideo, Uruguay | Eater

"Sofía Kim came from South Korea to join her husband Duk Gyu a decade ago. Together they opened Arariyo, a minimal restaurant featuring Korean home cooking in the Old City, very near the port. For years only Koreans visited them, but tourists and locals slowly came along. Kim cooks what she learned from her mother and mother-in-law in a simple open kitchen, including excellent kimchi soup, mandu, noodle soup, fried rice, and truly great banchan. During the pandemic, the couple’s son Martín began teaching social media followers the family’s recipes, and he has joined his mother in the kitchen. — MB" - Marcela Baruch
