In Colonia, both dollars and Uruguayan pesos are accepted. Uruguayan food is as beef-based as Argentine fare, and also has a notable Italian influence. Here, enticing cafés and restaurants with plaza and riverfront views are numerous.
The black-and-white photos, lace tablecloths, and quaint knickknacks that clutter this long, low house belie the fact that it was once a brothel. It still has private rooms, but the politicians and occasional celebs rent them for dining these days. You, too, can ask to be seated in one, but consider the airy back dining room, which has views over the river. It's hard to say if it's the flamboyant French-Argentine owner's tall tales that keep regulars returning or his excellent cooking. Specialties include kingfish, sole, and salmon cooked to order.
The colorful, eclectic decor has turned this restaurant into a notorious spot in tranquil Colonia. You'll find Uruguayan standby dishes like pastas and chivito on the menu, all of which come in generous portions. People are drawn to this restaurant for its relaxed, funky ambience, which the open kitchen and frequent live musicians enhance. Outdoor tables on the plaza are prime real estate.
This hip restaurant serves delicious, crispy pizza, sliced into bite-size rectangles. The backyard tables overlook the river, and inside is cozy, with warm walls. The terrace is a great spot for a bite and beer when it's warm.
