I lived a real Uruguayan roast in a local house in Montevideo, away from restaurants and close to authentic culture.
You will be greeted with a welcome drink as we light the fire with firewood and charcoal, just as Uruguayans do. You’ll discover the history of roasting, why it’s so important in culture and how it slowly cooks meat over the coals.
You can see the whole process up close, learn about the different traditional cuts and feel the aroma of the fire as the meat cooks in time.
Then, you will sit down to enjoy a full roast that includes different cuts of beef, chorizos, fresh bread and homemade accompaniments, accompanied by wine or local beer.
But this is much more than a meal. It is a real experience: you will share stories, music and conversations, as in any typical Uruguayan gathering.
You will also meet Rocco, the friendly four-legged host, who is part of the experience and is always happy to welcome visitors.
In the end, you can relax with dessert
This is not a staged tourist experience. It's a real roast, in a real home, with a local host.
