The Best Food in the Piriapolis Area
My friend Alex has just opened a new bistro that hands down has the best food in town. Unless there’s something new in Punta del Este I don’t know about, probably on the entire coast.
Alex lived in Japan and understands the use of spices and exotic preparation. (Salt is considered a spice in Uruguay if that gives you an idea of how unusual his cooking is.) He grows his own hot peppers for instance. In addition to the Parrilla (BBQ) his oven prepared beef is by far the best I’ve had in the country. Last of all, this location fits the Uruguay chic formula to a tee. Vida Devagar is located on a dirt road you’ll never find unless you know the town.
Due yourself a favor and go see Alex. If you don’t know the town, give him a call for directions.

His SUSHI is wonderful and so is the variety of good cold beer.

This sounds fantastic. Obviously you recommend the oven prepared beef… Do you have any other recommendations? And how is the pricing?
Thanks,

Brian-
Alex’s email address is above for menu questions as well as the phone.
The prices or moderate, but this is not an inexpensive place.
