"Since June 2018, Savarin has been giving a masterclass in pairing French technique with Uruguayan produce in Montevideo. This is the first restaurant from chef José Pedro Cobas and his wife, patissiere Sofia Rozas, who met while working at Relais & Châteaux restaurant La Bourgogne in glitzy Punta del Este. Their work with seasonal products is impeccable, with a special focus on vegetables (if you happen to visit in spring, don’t miss the asparagus and artichoke preparations). The restaurant also offers a deservedly famous dish of Uruguayan lamb braised with grilled seasonal vegetables, though the vegetable curry with coconut milk sauce and fish offerings (sourced from an artisanal fishery) are also great. The dining room is simple, and in warm weather you can also enjoy the patio surrounded by flowers and greenery. — MB" - Marcela Baruch, Nell McShane Wulfhart
