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."

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.

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.

My family and I had a chance to visit this gem sitting in the sand on the Atlantic Coast in this beautiful enclave of Jose Ignacio. The service was absolutely spectacular. Without reservations in the low season, we were met with a warm smile and a seat at the bar as the team prepared our table. The Old Fashion I ordered was prepared perfectly. Once seated-the excellent service continued and the grilled sea bass and calamari I ordered was the best I've tasted! I would highly recommend Parador La Huella, but make sure you have reservations because I'm sure there is a wait in high season.

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.

Amazing culinary experience guaranteed every single time! They go the extra mile to get us the best service, definitely a must!

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
