Food and Drink in Uruguay

Cuisine in Uruguay is generally meat-focused, and seafood is common in coastal areas. Tuck into “chivito”, a steak sandwich, the barbecued meats of “tira de asado”, the hotdog-like “pancho”, the Spanish-style stew of “puchero”, and empanadas stuffed with meat and cheese. Satisfy your sweet tooth with “bizcochos", "massini”, “churros”, “chajá” and flan, among others. Don’t miss trying Uruguayan wine and the locally made whisky of Dunbar. Mix wine with fruit juice to make a refreshing “cleric”.

When to Visit Uruguay

October to March is the prime tourist season in Uruguay, with the sunny weather drawing many people to the beaches. The temperatures are still pleasant in spring and autumn, making this an ideal time for outdoor adventures and city explorations. Candlemas is a joyous religious festival held annually on February with processions, live music and dancing. The Lent Carnival is vibrant, with parades, pageants, music, dancing, food and street parties. Semana Santa (Holy Week) also brings numerous celebrations in Montevideo over the week. Natalicio de Artigas in June, and Independence Day in August, are great times to witness Uruguayan patriotism, pride and culture. At the start of November, Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) is another large national celebration.
