Food & Drink
Discover Uruguay's irresistible flavors in every bite and sip.
Uruguay beckons globetrotters with a delectable array of food and drink that promises to ignite their culinary senses. The country's gastronomic delights include the famed asado, a barbecue tradition where succulent cuts of beef, such as ribeye and chorizo sausages, are masterfully grilled to perfection. Don't forget to pair it with a glass of Tannat, the country's signature red wine.
Empanadas, those savoury pastries filled with delicious ingredients, and the hearty chivito sandwich are perfect for a quick and tasty snack. But, if you're looking for something more substantial, try milanesa, a breaded and fried cutlet, or the parrillada mixed grill platter that's ideal for sharing.
Uruguayan pizza offers a unique twist on the classic with its thicker crust and unconventional toppings. Wash it all down with maté, a traditional caffeine-rich herbal tea, or indulge in a medio y medio cocktail of dry white and sweet sparkling wines.
To satisfy your sweet tooth, don't miss out on dulce de leche, a creamy caramel spread featured in numerous desserts and pastries. Uruguay's culinary tapestry is a fusion of flavours that promises a memorable gastronomic journey for any traveller.
