We spent just 18ish hours in Montevideo and loved every minute.
The city reminds us a lot of the trendy La Condesa neighborhood in Mexico City. There were a lot of twenty/thirty somethings wandering around, dressed better than us. Tons of bars and restaurants and plenty of charming tree-lined streets.
After dropping off bags and taking much needed showers, we headed to Montevideo Brewing Company for a few beers before dinner.
Afterwards, we headed to La Otra Parrilla for dinner. Parrillas are Uruguayan restaurants that cook meat over wood that has burned down to charcoal. Chorizo, steak and potatoes, along with our first bottle of Uruguayan wine. Everything was delicious.
On the way home, we ran into an impromptu something:
The following morning before renting a car to head to the Uruguayan Coast, we ran out for some breakfast with a stop at the farmer’s market. After so much meat and potatoes, we were pumped to grab some fruit.
We loved Montevideo and hope to spend some more time here soon.

And LOL an impromptu something.
This is so fun! I am so excited for you two! I love reading all the stories
