Swiss Restaurant Rösti in Motevideo
Swiss Restaurant Rösti in Motevideo
Switzerland may be a few thousand miles away, but you will forget about the distance the moment you step into the door of the Restaurant Rösti in Montevideo (Pocitos). This place is not only truly Swiss it is also an absolute Insider Tip far off the usual tourist routes.

When we tested the Rösti, we started out the classical Swiss way with a Cheese Fondue which was simply awesome. For the main course we had Kassler - a very typical German and Swiss type of salted meat with Röstis - a sort of pancake made out of sliced and roasted potatoes

It was absolute delicious and the only difference to the Kassler you'll get in Europe was it's size: about twice as big.
We accompanied the meal with Uruguayan red wine - a mixture of 50% Tannat and 50% Merlot. An combination that might seem odd on the beginning but can be absolutely recommended.

Say Grützi to the Choclate Fondue! 

We finished off with a great dessert - Chocolate Fondue and Coffee. While the Chocolate Fondue (a bowl of hot dark chocolate and a plate of fruits, which you dip into the hot chocolate) is an absolute recommendation the coffee was disappointing as it is often the case in Uruguay.

We were a group of six and spend about 500 pesos (25 USD) per person, what places the Rösti slightly above the average price level. All though it is absolutely worth the money.

Another plus that should be mentioned is the children's playground on the first floor. Equipped with a wooden hut, toys and a large color TV showing Disney films it is yet another example how much the people of Uruguay pay attention to children.
