Restaurants

Restaurants in Montevideo serve steak that's just as high in quality as Argentine beef, and they usually include a number of stews and seafood selections as well. You will find the native barbecue, in which beef and lamb are grilled on the fire, in any of the city's parrilladas (the name for parrillas in Uruguay). Sales tax on dining in Montevideo is a whopping 23%. There's also usually a table cover charge (cubierto)of about $1 (55p) per person.
