Description

Named after a Tupi word meaning "someone who lives far from town," the restaurant highlights Uruguay’s culinary heritage, where indigenous traditions meet heavy European influences. While beef is the central staple—shining in plates like skirt steak with chimichurri—the legacy of late 19th-century Italian immigration is felt in the national love for pasta. The kitchen also prepares roasted beet salad and octopus, paired with a robust wine list and cocktails tailored to taste by the bar. The atmosphere is relaxed and social, though service feedback is occasionally mixed.
