Restaurant Estrecho — Restaurant in Montevideo

Tiny (estrecho) and neat restaurant at Calle Sarandi (pedestrian only road).

Excellent food, good wines, and friendly service. We had a crispy green salad and a tasty Thai soup for starters, followed by a chicken and a shrimp Pad Thai. We both were pleasantly surprised by the freshness and taste of today's meal. All was cooked to perfection and we certainly will come back.

We did not regret taking a wonderful small Creme Brulee and a refreshing coriander/Kiwi tart for dessert, yummy!

If you do not like to be seated at the bar high tables, call and reserve one of the rare tables outside (pedestrian road).

Insider info: order one of the only 200 available bottles of Artesana wine, exclusively produced for...

Excellent food and, for the area, at a very reasonable price. Apparently the menu changes daily. I enjoyed the baguette with smoked salmon. If I went again, I'd definitely order something from the stovetop, since the entire seating area is just the bar and they cook everything right behind it. It was interesting to watch them cook just meters away, and I was a bit envious that I hadn't ordered something that I'd get to see cooked. I also ordered the creme brulee dessert, which was not my all-time favorite but was still very good and also prepared in view. Definitely...

Couldn’t find this place - may be closed. Copacobana next door had to suffice…

Update: OK, so in spite of the snarky reply I decided to swing by and see what I missed. Indeed, Estrecho is there - pretty close to where Google maps has it. Best I can tell it was boarded up when I was looking for it the other day (Google indicated it should be open) due to “Tourism Week”. As such I decided to give it a try wondering if the service was going to be as edgy as the owners reply and was pleasantly surprised by the friendly service, good food, and nice ambience....
