A hidden gem. We had the 12 course menu and enjoyed every single dish. Absolutely delicious. We also got recommended a very tasty bottle of Tannat wine that paired beautifully with the food. Danilo was a fantastic host and his sweet mother Susana who was serving the few tables. If you want to experience fantastic fine dining food made with love in a peaceful setting look no further. 10 out of 5 stars. Thank you.

Sometimes you enter a restaurant and immediately feel it's heart and soul. That was the case here: a former pizzeria of no note converted into an auteur's canvas as is the case here. It seats 25 in thoughtful but basic surroundings, what an owner/chef can afford. Everything important is on the table. Danilo Gonzalez is a CHEF, not a cook, he is inventive, precise and caring and it all shows in each dish of any of his remarkably reasonable tasting menus from 6,8 or 12 small courses. Presentation is superb and the tastes while a little localized ( no salt and little spice) are interesting and even remarkable in their freshness and inventive approach. I dined alone ( not looking for sympathy) and forgot my Kindle, normally eating alone with a glass of wine takes an hour and ten, here I arrived at 9 and left at 11:30 and enjoyed every second. This is a very good thing, I'm a guy who cooks for 20 and eats in 10 so relaxed dining makes it a treat. The small team of 4 ( 3 in back and 1 out front is tight and very concerned. Chef Danilo is everywhere all the time! Wine list is good and house Tannat was perfect. Prices overall really fair and justified. Montevideo is moving forward on the culinary side a few more Danilo's and we will be on the map!

The staff and chef are personal and involved taking time and paying attention. Complex dishes one does not find in many restaurants. The dining area is small and romantic.

The dining experience was exceptional, with unexpected and delightful meal combinations that are perfect for any celebration or a romantic evening. While there wasn't a kids' menu, we ordered the Milanesa, which turned out to be the best I've ever had. The staff was incredibly accommodating—when we requested ketchup, the chef went above and beyond by creating a delicious, juicy tomato salad. Everyone was thrilled!

This gem of a restaurant is located in an unassuming neighbourhood. We visited on our first day in Montevideo. I asked for a drink that was on the menu and they made the effort to look it up and make it for me. I can't eat any dairy and after letting them know, they changed the dishes that we ordered to all be lactose free, and they were absolutely delicious. We kept thinking of them as we considered where we wanted to eat during our stay, and on our last day we realised we would rather return than to try somewhere else. On this second visit they were able to offer me a dairy free dessert which was so unique and delicious. Hats off to the staff and chef - this restaurant is worth visiting!

A very small restaurant in a quiet neighborhood with beautifully crafted food and cocktails. We enjoyed every course on the 12 course tasting menu, which comes with a glass each of white and red wine for pairing. We were greeted warmly by the chef and he and the one other employee ensured the meal flowed smoothly despite a full restaurant.

What a great experience! Chef Danilo curated an amazing tasting menu for a private event for 8 of us, and what a great menu it was! Delicious, varied flavors and terrific, genial atmosphere. Chef Danilo was engaging and attentive and created a perfect evening for us!
