A chef's restaurant and bakery next to Zabala Square in the Old Town, helmed by Lucía Soria, who trained under Francis Mallmann.
Opened in 2012 at Sarandí 349 in the Old Town, near Zabala Square, this spot expanded the following year to include the adjacent bakery. Chef Lucía Soria previously worked under Francis Mallmann, and her cuisine is influenced by Italian and Spanish flavors. The menu changes seasonally, featuring daily soups, mains, and desserts, with a wine list focused on Uruguayan wines. The interior features marble tabletops and original brick ceilings. From Sunday to Tuesday, it is generally only open until the afternoon, so confirming in advance is recommended. It is within walking distance from various attractions in the Old Town.
Opening hours
Wed-Sat 10:00-23:30, Sun-Tue 10:00-16:00 (sources vary slightly, confirmation is recommended)
