La Perdiz — Restaurant in Montevideo

🇧🇷 Desorganização e experiência negativa. A primeira impressão foi de um atendimento pouco atencioso, pois, apesar da casa estar com poucos clientes, as atendentes nos davam atenção por 1 segundo, e logo sumiam. Como queríamos ver a grelha, sentamos no balcão, e por sorte, fomos atendidos por um rapaz que estava na grelha, extremamente simpático. Se não fosse por ele, não teríamos tido os nossos pedidos atendidos, pois chamávamos as garçonetes e nada delas comparecerem. Em relação a comida, a ideia era pedir somente algumas entradas, pois estávamos com pouca fome. Optamos pela molleja e queijo provolone. Feito os pedidos, e os pratos vieram rapidamente - ponto positivo, mas também esperado pelo restaurante estar vazio (eram 19h30 e parece que as pessoas locais costumam jantar tarde, por volta de 21h-22h). O queijo estava bom, percebe-se que o provolone uruguaio não tem excesso de sal. Já a molleja, não estava ruim, porém, levemente queimado e por isso, seco. O espanto foi a conta, em que havia cobrança do couvert (UYU 160/por pessoa) e pagamento obrigatório. Tentamos conversar com a gerente para entender melhor, devido termos pedido somente entradas, e a mesma fez pouca questão de nos atender, dizendo que a casa simplesmente funciona dessa forma e que essa cobrança era para a infraestrutura do restaurante. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ Ou seja, este lugar se tornou uma opção inviável se o intuito for comer de leve. Para outras refeições não sei, já que as entradas não foram memoráveis. Únicos pontos positivos: localização, atendimento do rapaz da grelha, cardápio variado - além das carnes, tem massas, risotos, milanesas, peixes, etc. Conclusão: a quem se interessar por conta da localização, ok. Mas eu não volto mais e não indicaria aos amigos e familiares.

🇺🇸 Disorganization and negative experience. The first impression was due to lack of attentive service, because, despite the restaurant having few customers, the attendants gave us attention for 1 second, and then disappeared. As we wanted to see the grill, we sat at the counter, and luckily, we were served by a guy who was at the grill, very friendly. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have had our orders taken, as we waited for the waitresses and none of them came. Regarding the food, the idea was to order only a few starters, as we were not very hungry. We opted for the molleja and provolone cheese. The dishes came quickly - positive point, but also expected by the restaurant being empty (it was 7:30 pm and it seems that local people usually have dinner late, around 9-10 pm). The cheese was nice, as the Uruguayan provolone doesn't have too much salt. As for the molleja, it wasn't bad, however, slightly burnt and therefore, dry. The surprise was the bill, which had a couvert charge (UYU 160/per person) as mandatory payment. We tried to talk to the manager to better understanding, as we only ordered starters, and she didn't care to assist us, saying that the house simply works that way and that this charge was for the restaurant's infrastructure. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ Due to it, this place has become an unfeasible option if the intention is to eat lightly. For other meals I’m not sure, but the starters were just not memorable. The positive points were: location, grill boy’s service, varied menu - in addition to meat, there are pastas, risottos, milanesas, fish, etc. Conclusion: for those who are curious and wants to try, ok. But I won't be back and I wouldn't recommend it to...

La Perdiz is truly an exceptional find! Their food is consistently delicious, but what stands out even more is their phenomenal wine collection. As wine lovers, my husband and I have been delighted with every single bottle we’ve tried there—each one expertly selected and absolutely outstanding.

The service is impeccable, with a staff that goes above and beyond to ensure an unforgettable experience. The owner’s warmth and generosity make it even more special—on one occasion, he surprised us with free drinks, which was such a thoughtful gesture!

If you’re looking for a wonderful place to enjoy a romantic dinner or simply relax with great wine and food, La Perdiz should be at the top of your list. Highly...

Almost 40 minutes wasted for nothing.

Food. Didn’t get any.

Service. 20 minutes to provide a menu. After that we were ignored for 20 more minutes, so we just got up and left. Waiters looked very surprised; apparently they thought it’s ok to waste an hour for an order. Even more bizarre, the place was half-empty.

Atmosphere. Terrible service. The tables were so dirty that your hands stick to them. Glasses were dirty too. The place is overall unclean and gloomy.

A dumpster of a restaurant. I have no idea why locals are so fond of...
