Travelling to MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay + Trying URUGUAYAN STEAK + Tannat Wine in the Capital!

- Опубликовано: 16 мар 2021
- In today's video, we'll be travelling from Colonia del Sacramento to Montevideo - the capital of Uruguay - and then we'll be trying Uruguayan steak! So we started the day off in Colonia where we had a few hours to spare before catching the bus to the capital. We spent the morning enjoying a leisurely stroll through the old town, and we also made time to climb the lighthouse, which offers beautiful views of the River Plate and Colonia's old town.
We then made our way to the bus terminal, where we enjoyed a quick lunch of empanadas before getting on the bus to Montevideo. It was a 3-hour journey across farmland and rural towns. Overall, a very enjoyable and easy trip.
Once we arrived in Montevideo, we checked into our apartment overlooking Plaza Independencia, and then it was time to start thinking about food. Of course, for our first meal in the capital, we decided to try Uruguayan steak. Much like neighbouring Argentina, Uruguay enjoys a very high reputation for the quality of its beef.
We ate at a steakhouse called El Fogón, where we ordered the 'entrecot', which is the ribeye steak and one of the most popular cuts of meat in Uruguay. We paired this with a Tannat wine, which is the national grape of Uruguay. Overall a great meal and a wonderful start to our trip in Montevideo!
Restaurant address: El Fogón, San José 1080, 11100 Montevideo, Uruguay

Your dad is spot on regarding the meat. I’m British. Lived in Uruguay for nearly 7 years. The meat is something else. You cut it like butter. Delicious!
Audrey's dad is one of the most amusing people. When it comes to food, it's MEAT, and he is not reticent to let you know.
Thank you! Hahaha...that is for sure. He's all in on the good cuts of meat in South America.
@@samuelandaudrey tengo sesenta y nueve años. I’d love Have 🍻 or 🍷 with your dad, he seems so chilled.
Drool. Dang I’m slobbering. 😋
Saludos desde España soy uruguaya y los sigo me encanta q muestren mi país . Soy del Departamento de Durazno pero tienen q ir a conocer las termas de Uruguay.
Muchas gracias Nanda!
Your Dad is entertaining! Thanks for the content.
Thanks Lawrence! He really adds a lot of value to our videos. Glad he can join us.
Saludos desde Uruguay!!! Por acá los esperamos cuando todo esto pase. Nuestro país tiene rincones hermosos 🇺🇾🍀🇺🇾
Gracias Nancy! Nos gustaría llegar a conocer un poco más del país. Cabo Polonio está en la lista para un futuro viaje!
@@samuelandaudrey si estancia por Montevideo todavia visited la escollera sarandi y observed el Mastil del Graff Spee que todavia se puede ver y el mercado del puerto que tiene muy buena comida. yo vivi por años en Montevideo originalmente de Rivera Tranqueras.
The look on Audrey's face when she said "a cup of dulce de leche" had me rolling. Can't tell if she was impressed or repulsed. LOL
100% agree - that also caught my attention and would have to be the funniest thing they have on any of their videos - I would say she was a little bit tipsy .... Bahahaha
Hahaha....I think a bit of both for sure!
An insane amount of dulce de leche....lol
You’ve really got to admire Sam’s patience watching everyone eat whilst he plays cameraman especially when the food looks so delicious! I’d be so hangry watching my food go cold!!! I was horrified when I saw Audrey cutting the fat away from her food! That’s the best bit 😛😋 Love the ooooohh at the end!! 🤣
Thanks Sarah! Hahahaha....appreciate you noticing that. The cameraman = cold food ;)
A Luis Miguel le gustó tanto nuestra carne que repitió todos los días que estuvo y se llevó para el viaje de avión! La mejor!
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
as always, a pleasure to accompany you on your travels, in any language. For a long time I will not be able to travel, due to the consequences of COVID, but accompanying you is more than pleasant. Somos Plinio, Luisa y Plinio Jr., desde Talcahuano, Chile!
Thank you very much Luisa! Fingers crossed things will improve soon for everyone.
Hola Samuel, Audrey y Daniel ! Coincido con ustedes: las carnes de Argentina y Uruguay son exquisitas ! Nada mas rico que un buen bife a la parrilla !! El postre: panqueque de dulce de leche es un manjar ! Hicieron una gran elección !! Saludos desde Buenos Aires !
Muchas gracias Adrian!!!!

Hi guys,

Thanks Marcela!!!
Enjoyed your vid again. Great as always. It puts smile on my face. Especially now during this time with all the covid measures.
Thank you so much Bianca! We seriously miss the food from there.
Wow! Did that food ever look good! Thanks for the upload guys.

Parece una postal de épocas de la Colonia....retroceder en el tiempo...HERMOSO y TRANQUILO....!!!
Sí, es un lugar super tranquilo! Muy lindo para pasear en las mañanitas o para el atardecer. ✨
@@samuelandaudrey tuve la misma sensación este año al regresar de la costa Argentina al parar al mediodía a comer en San Antonio de Areco...una ciudad bien gauchesca con calles empedradas ...se la recomiendo 🌷🙋♂️
Thank you for new interesting video🤗🧸
Thanks for watching. Glad you're enjoying the videos!
I would love to visit Uruguay. Safe travels.
Thank you very much Reyna! Hope you can soon.
The bus ride is epic
Thanks! It was a great journey and not too long either!
Brilliant video. Great to see Uruguay. Good to see the normal everyday scenes like the cafe and empanadas in colonia and bus journey. It looks exactly the type of place I’d like to visit. Food looks amazing. Your dad is fun. Reminds me of my many travels with my father. Great to see. Always nice to see us take on the world. I miss that so much. Beautiful to see people living life and no muzzles. When was thus filmed. Please tell me March 2021. If so there is hope for the world.
Thanks Foster! Unfortunately, this was pre-pandemic in late 2019. We're just that behind on edits.
Hey you guys, love your videos , thank you for being on our country and showing the beauty of it , I’m from Montevideo and if I see you , I would say ‘ hi’ hahaha lol
Thank you so much Jhon! We loved visiting and hope to return in the future.
We really enjoyed with your video .......huge subs from us guys!!!!!
Keep going,have a wonderful day.....
Take care!!
Thank you so much!
Awesome ❤️
Ah, thank you!
that steak looks so delicious, i'm tempted hehe
Thanks Banshan! It was amazing. They sure know bbq in Uruguay.
Oh guys :) what a dinner in the capital city 🍷!
Thank you so much Bajlandia! We just loved it.
OMG what a culinary paradise! It is true that Uruguay and Argentina are equal when it comes to the pastureland that is responsible for the unique beef......and we found also that the dairy products (cheeses, helados) are to die for in both countries too. Vegans beware! You may succumb!!!!!
Thank you! They sure make good quality products.
地球の裏側なので簡単に行けませんが、さすがウルグアイステーキ、美味しそうですね😋。
You guys rented the same place I did in2017 in the 4th floor. The owner lives in punta del esté. Nice view from there. Enjoy.
I REMEMBER THE STEAKS when I was little. They were Tbone and used to hang off the sides. It looks so delicious. You are making me hungry.
Love to see you guys having fun. It's a lot of work to do these videos, I know. GOD bless you. Thanks for sharing. Love you all. #Churrasco #DulceDeLeche #vino
Thank you so much! What wonderful childhood memories. The meat is legendary in Uruguay.
@@samuelandaudrey Yes I heard that. My experience was in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
2:03 I have that same exact shirt!
Don't you love it? Mines a Large. How about you?
Cool to hear Jim!
I think medium. It is so breezy and quick to dry.
Non posso guardare il video ,perché mi viene subito molta fame! Sto ingrassandoooo! Voi camminate molto e quindi bruciate calorie ,dimagrendo ! Ma io no! 😀😃😄😆😅🤣😂😂❤Grazie e complimenti!
Jajajaja .... grazie mille Maria!
You travel exactly how my family do, lots of good food and wine 🍷 😁
That is great to hear Darcy! We love that style of travel.
Hola famila, que vistas mas bonitas desde el faro, menuda comilona he disfrutado mucho viendoos comer me habeis abierto el apetito, me voy a hacer la cena ahora mismo jajaja,. Buenas noches desde Valencia (España).
Muchas gracias Irene!
Ooooh ik geniet zo van jullie video's! Willen volgend jaar heel graag langere tijd gaan reizen door Zuid-Amerika
;
Oh Thank you for this I saw it on my list and I thought "In this insane world, we are snapping at each other I need a vacation" Voilà' there you are!!. This like doing Calgon take me away.!!
Thanks Rose! We sure miss travel. Editing these older videos is tough these days.
Por fin en Montevideo mi ciudad !!! Hago tur gastronómico cuando quieras
Muchas gracias Ariel!
Hoa Daniel,Audrey y Samuel aqui viendo estos videos de nuevo pero en ingles (con subtitulos) voy aprendiendo palabras y me encanta escucharlos,un abrazo.
Muchas gracias Eduardo!
Great vid🥩😋🍷👍
Thank you very much Michael! We really miss those steaks!
Nice video! 😊 Sam was beaten that dessert literally, I guess! 😂
Hehehe...thanks Evgenii! I was...lol
That looked a delicious meal you were having 🍗🍜🍜🍷🍷
Thanks Stephen! It was pretty incredible. Montevideo is a foodie city for sure.
I'll bet $100 to anyone that Dani had a belly ache at the end of the video 😁😍
Yeah, we sure ate well!
Lol! You guys... Food looks good.
Hehehe...thanks Theodore! Wish we could share!
🥩 what a mouthwatering meaty meal.. those potatoes balls looked interesting I bet they were good. Can’t beat a mushroom 🍄 sauce too
Ohhh, the noisette potatoes are so good - especially fried!! 😋 They're quite popular in Uruguay and Argentina.
Hola Daniel Audrey y Samuel, si video de nuevo. Saludos desde Córdoba Edgardo 🍷
Gracias Edgardo. Saludos desde Canadá!
@@samuelandaudrey Gracias, saludos a toda la familia.
I can say Freddo is one of the best ice cream shops! There were a few in Paraguay until a few years back, and can say it is one of the best and miss it a lot.
Thanks Johnny! Had no idea it was in Paraguay as well. What other ice cream shops do you like in Paraguay? Hoping to visit for the first time soon.
@@samuelandaudrey I really like Heladería Paris and 4D (quattro d)! There are a bunch of other ice cream and gelato shops I need to try, but those are one of the most popular ones, alongside Amandau.
Quattro D is a restaurant and serve gelato, so you'll get your whole lunch or dinner's worth, haha.
Hope y'all enjoy your time here in Paraguay and will be watching your videos about us! Stay safe and we welcome you with open arms :)
@@samuelandaudrey I almost forgot! Doña Angela is another very famous place you can't forget to visit on your time here!
omg! its been a while since ive seen you guys! greeting from the philippines!
Thank you very much! Nice to hear from you!
Been loving your travels through Uruguay - though I think this veggie would starve :-D
Thanks Suzanne! It would be a bit more tricky but you could find veggie and vegan friendly restaurants in the city.
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks LeAny!
❤️
Thank you so much Deb!
Went 100 times to ‘el fogon’ , really nice food
So cool to hear Jhon! You're an expert there!
If I wanted a coke with my dinner instead of wine is that unheard of over there? Dad's meal looked sooooo gooooood with that bacon. Just found your channel . . . I'll be watching.
You can easily order a coke. Known as cola over there.
You shouldn't have any problem. Just ask for a coca that what we call it here, wine and coca cola are the most typical drinks here.
@@deviatys1479 Good to know. I wouldn't want to go over there and offend anyone.
New York strip is called in the US
Shells steak also
The steak they had
Good morning :)
Hi Sam Audrey and papa beautiful old church landscape amazing. One of my bucket list.Height scared me :)
Thanks Maria! Oh, I'm scared of heights so I really felt nervous going up it...haha
@@samuelandaudrey Yeah me too my knees frooze when i see so high heights haha
I enjoyed old churches and beautiful scenery :)
👍👌👏😊
Thanks Fokas!!!
Your Argentina videos are AMAZING!! I’m a fairly decent Spanish speaker as well as a lifelong carnivore, and rumor has it that my sons want to help me, along with my wife, fulfill a bucket list wish to visit Buenos Aires for my 75th birthday 19 months from now. I’m very curious if you can tell me anything about a) getting tickets for top division Argentine football matches, and b) the Argentine Jewish community. BTW, Audrey, your dad seems like a fun guy to hang with!!
I have been following them for years they have amazing videos would love to see them hang out and meet with other bloggers like Mark Wiens they both love to eat lol
Thanks Ena! We actually met Mark on our second date back in 2012 in South Korea. It has been a while since we've seen him. I think the last time was in Thailand a couple of years later but it would be great to catch-up again. Here is a picture of us:

@@samuelandaudrey Thats awesome pic during this pandemic bloggers like you and mark have helped me keep mind occupied with great videos please continue to do so!!! Love them
Mi inglés es solo para pedir comida, los saludo en Castellano! Ja,ja! 💪👏👏✋
Muchas gracias Javier!
@@samuelandaudrey De nada, los quiero! 💪✋
What's that thing the waiter brought you at the end? It looked so good.
Thanks! It was a coffee with liquor. Totally delicious.
Come to India ,dude best food on this planet
Thanks! Indian food is amazing no doubt!
@@samuelandaudrey right 👍
Audrey you would be a happy and funny drunk - the look on your face at the end of the steak meal says it all - Bahahahaha - I think you guys have eaten far better meat than what was served there it looked dry and the steaks where small - doesn't look authentic with the American sides added as well. Great Video !!
Thanks Serge!
Please include prices as it helps people in their travel planning.
Good tip. We normally do but forgot in this video I guess.
I loved it there.
Is is actual footage with covid? Or is it from a long time ago?
It's pre-pandemic. Argentina, Uruguay and Chile was our very last trip before Covid hit. We got home 1 month before everything shut down.
dulce de leche is the best!
Meeeeet😁
Thanks
Why is it everytime I watch your meat meals I crave a big juicy steak!!! (with wine of course!) hahahaha
Hehehe...wish we could share Peter!
how is traveling in uruguay and argentina if youre not an spanish speaker? is english okay with them?
Come and see for yourself! Best wishes from Uruguay.
Good question! I'd say most places that deal with tourists (hotels, restaurants, tour operators) have at least one person on staff with a good level of English. Some restaurants also have English menus, but it's not a bad idea to learn some Spanish words to get around especially if you're planning to travel outside major city centres.
Did Sam have two desserts?
Hahaha...I did!
Entrecote = Rib eye
Ah, thanks for letting us know Akiva!
Are people in Uraguay are Friendly and Sociable?
Yeah, we found people to be friendly.
can you ship the wine back to the US or Canadia?
Thanks Rose! Indeed you can do that but I believe have to pay import fees upon receiving it.
@@samuelandaudrey Well that probably isn't worth it then. It is just we don't get that kind of variety.
El bife de chorizo es el new york
;
beef, goat, sheep, pork, poultry. how about horse? italians and french would argue about best beef.
Never tried that before Dickl.
Entrecote steak is Ribeye.... am I right?
That is right!
Why don't you do videos of Peru?
We'd love to revisit Peru again soon Luis!
Las bodegas en Uruguay no son para nada una pequeña industria, de hecho, en Uruguay esta la segunda mejor bodega de vino del mundo! se llama “Bodega Garzón”.
Ahora tenemos una botella de vino Garzón en nuestro sótano. Esperando beberlo pronto.
Just curious If you cannot speak Spanish how is it to go to South America I only speak English
Hey Mark, it is worth knowing a bit of Spanish before going. Numbers, small talk, directions, shopping.
Samuel should try pronouncing the spanish words like a true argentino.
Would love to be at that level someday! I really need to study!
In Uruguay you eat so much meat .. that chicken is considered a ... ... vegetable !!!
Hahaha
I hope you don’t mind me saying Aubrey but you have the sexiest walk going to the restaurant in Montevideo.
Some hungry walks I'd say.
The wine you tasted is ok. Don Pascual is not an amazing brand. Its very comercial so the quality is not that good.
Thanks Ignacio! Any you'd recommend we'd try?
Please check Travel Global channel with over 3K subscribers. They copied your videos, one of their video called Eat for $1 or less at 3 46 minutes, can see it's you on it. This channel has copied few videos from other RUclipsrs. Please kindly report them.
Thanks for letting us know. That's an ongoing issue I'm afraid.
No tiene nada ese diminuto pais
Provincia de Argentina nada... Uruguay es Uruguay no nos parecemos en nada a Argentina.
