El Tranvía - Santa Cecilia

If you’re taken by the idea of a stroll through Montevideo without actually leaving São Paulo then enjoy a "parrillada" in this authentic restaurant: it will give you a definite sense of being in the middle of the old quarter, with a setting that recreates the houses and patios found in the centre of the Uruguayan capital. From the kitchen come highly memorable dishes ranging from soufflé potatoes to grilled meats (you’ll soon understand why the Uruguayans are the world’s biggest consumers of beef per capita! ), chitterlings (chinchulines) and typical homemade desserts such as the traditional Uruguayan cake known as Massini.
