Cayena RestoBar

Uruguayan cuisine has a lot of European influence, especially from Italy and Spain, though expect to find a lot more meat due to the country’s abundant production of beef (and milk).
Traditional Dishes and Meals: Asado - One of the most popular meals in Uruguay is the Asado or Barbecue. Note, this will most likely not be like the bbq that you see back home. Here you will be offered a much larger assortment of meat (all types of cuts) and often organ parts are grilled too. The asado is prepared on a special (large) grill called a parrilla and charcoal is used more than wood or gas. The uruguayan asado is truly heaven for all you carnivores out there. Chivito al plato - a traditional Uruguayan sandwich with sliced steak, ham, cheese, fries eggs, frech fries, onions, lettuce, tomatoes,mayonnaise. Some chivitos also have bacon added to it.
