Eating Uruguay’s Most Famous Foods 🇺🇾 (Montevideo’s Best!)

Get ready for a mouthwatering day in Montevideo, Uruguay 🇺🇾 as we dive into the best local foods the city has to offer, from street classics to traditional market favorites!

In this video, we explore the Centro Histórico (Old Town) of Montevideo and taste our way through Uruguay’s most iconic dishes. If you’re a food lover or planning a trip to South America, this is your ultimate guide to what to eat in Montevideo.

We start with Pascualina, Uruguay’s beloved spinach and egg pie that you’ll find in every bakery. Then we move on to the legendary Chivito, Uruguay’s national sandwich stacked with steak, ham, cheese, and egg. We also try Fainá, the chickpea flatbread locals love to eat alongside pizza — an Italian influence that became uniquely Uruguayan.

Next up —Morcilla, a traditional blood sausage that’s rich, flavorful, and surprisingly delicious (even if you’re not sure about trying it!).

Of course, no Montevideo food adventure would be complete without a sweet ending, so we head to a supermarket to find some popular prepackaged alfajores, soft dulce de leche-filled cookies that might just ruin all other desserts for you. 🍪

Throughout the day, we explore the cobblestone streets of the Centro Histórico and discover how Uruguay’s food tells the story of its culture — a fusion of Spanish, Italian, and gaucho traditions that make this small country a giant in flavor.
