Guide to Uruguay's Punta del Este, José Ignacio, and Wine Country

"The most successful restaurant in the area is, without question, La Huella. Designed to look and feel like a boathouse, with a thatched roof, sand-dusted wooden deck flooring, and a staff of perfect-looking, evenly tanned twentysomethings, it's probably the most painstakingly curated simulacrum of effortlessness you'll ever see. It's also the hardest table to score in the busy months of January and February." - Travel + Leisure Editors

Alan Faena Creates La Vie Bohème in José Ignacio, Uruguay

"Good food has been the social glue in these parts since a young Francis Mallmann turned up in the late ’70s; the Michelin-starred chef still has a restaurant in the town of Garzón, and his former protégés can be found at their own restaurants cooking fresh-caught brótola or locally raised lamb inside wood-fired ovens."

Updated: we gave this place a second try for lunch on a Monday. Much more relaxed, amazing service, and fantastic food. We stayed for dessert and it was incredible. We also sat outside with a view of the beach, a completely different experience for sure. ——————————————— We were really looking forward to our dinner at La Huella, especially as it was part of our honeymoon. We made a note of this in our reservation when I booked 10 days in advance hoping it might make the experience more special, but that wasn’t the case. The restaurant was incredibly crowded and chaotic. We were placed at a small table awkwardly positioned between the bar and the kitchen door. It was impossible to relax. I was bumped and stepped on repeatedly, and it felt more like we were dining in a passageway than a restaurant of this caliber. The food was good, but not extraordinary. We wanted to dessert, but we agreed we wouldn’t enjoy it and didn’t want to sit there any longer. For a place with such a glowing reputation, the hospitality and spatial layout really detracted from the experience. It felt transactional and rushed, not thoughtful or hospitable.

This trendy restaurant offers an exceptional beachfront dining experience. Ranked among Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants, it is renowned for its grilled seafood and relaxed yet refined atmosphere . The restaurant’s signature dessert, the dulce de leche volcano, is a must-try. Come early in summer, it can get really busy.

What a place! Jose Ignacio beach is a glorious secret. My wife said, first restaurant where they offer sun protection cream

Very special place on the beach. Stunning view. Expensive (at least for me). We had some spectacular muscles. The sushi was good, but it could be skipped. Vibes and decor were on point.

We had to try this Uruguayan classic, and we were not disappointed. Fantastic location in front of the beach, great vibe, delicious food, and wine. We had an amazing evening and can't wait to be back. Price: decent prices for the place, quality and location Service: great service, everyone made aure we had a good time Food: fresh and delicious. Wine selection is great with good prices too Ambience: couldn't ask for better place to enjoy an evening. We went for lunch

Nice restaurant, with the vibes of Uruguay… rustic and sophisticate, the meat was very tender and delicious with a lot of flavour from spices - which I love - the dessert, a dulce de leche petit gateau, was incredible! Their selection of draft beer was also amazing, but it was expensive - more than I believe should for what it was! But definitely nice and a hype place

This place is good and has good food. The three starts it’s because it gets so packed the service decreases, and the clientele is just snobby, arrogant people that ruin the whole experience. If you don’t mind getting cut off in line, with no organization, people receiving preferential treatment if they are regulars, and just seeing the staff being treated horribly by all the arrogant people, and you want to just focus on the food, then this is the place for you. Tato pescador is around the corner and it’s an easy going vibe and better people as clientele.
