Travel + LeisureMarch 19, 2013Chic South Americans congregate amid the dunes for languorous midday meals. Keep things simple: sea bass cooked over coals and a pitcher of clericó. More places to eat like a local: tandl.me/12ufz7c
For drinks try the signature mojito frozen, if you are having a bottle of wine I strongly recommend the Montevideo 2012 (blend of three grapes) and dessert MUST Dulce De Leche Volcano!! Don't miss it!
Santiago DarmandrailDecember 10, 2015First: get a reservation. If you don't, get there before 1 PM and try to get a seat at the bar. All drinks are great but the caipiroska mediterranea is a must. Ask for the dulce de leche cheesecake.
David LeiteFebruary 15, 2014The shrimp empanadas are excellent, as are the shrimp w/curried potatoes, octopus, cheese & onion tart, and lime curd tart. We all loved our food. The owners, especially Martín, are very attentive.
Ben MDecember 16, 2012Came to Jose Ignacio from Punta del Este and it immediately started raining. Luckily La Huella was here to give us shelter, unbelievably fast service, and some of the best food we've ever eaten.
JIMENA F.December 29, 2015The food is delicious! For desert I had the "duraznos asados con mascarpone" (grilled peaches with mascarpone) and they were put of this world!- Great service, super friendly staff. Best heirloom tomato salad in Uruguay. Grilled octopuss wonderful . Everything is simple and tasty!
Janet ChoiApril 14, 2013The Cazuela de Corvino was an odd dish, more like a soup, not stew-y like other S. Am. cazuelas. Go for the grilled fish of the day instead. Chipirones are great. Well-stocked, beautiful bar, wines.
Diego CurutchetJuly 26, 2013There s a new room at the end towards the left ! All open in the summer to the beach, closed and heated in the winter ! Bathrooms totally renewed- jennifer hanOctober 21, 2014gorgeous restaurant right on the sand. absolutely everything we had was delicious. order lots of seafood, clerico, and dessert.
Alexandra AlvesMarch 12, 2011Simple and very charming place in the beach. Great food (the entrecort was delicious), good service (not so good if crowded). A bit far from most hotels but definetly worth the trip!- Janet ChoiApril 24, 2013The local grappa (Bernardi?) is lovely and lively...deep notes of raisin that linger on the tongue and leave a delightful bouquet in the nose.
Shawn KoppenhoeferNovember 5, 2017My grilled-fish catch-of-the-day and minipizza were perfect but,despite the glowing reviews,all else was mediocre at best;Fries lamentable,milanessa tough and not thin enough&volcada unappetizing.
Andrea BarrezuetaMarch 13, 2022Best meal of the week. Service was very much on point which was not common during our trip.
Ricardo SeixasFebruary 18, 2015Great place! Don't go without reservations or you'll suffer with the disorganized queue system.
Vainessa VianaMarch 28, 2013I went because it was suggested by Tony Bourdain. Lovely place, good food and gorgeous view.

Make sure your affairs are in order, then "erupt" of pleasure with the dulce de leche volcano.
Daniel SkitJuly 17, 2011You must do The clerico with The chadornnay terrazas. Te pulpito is The best!
Reservations are a must; specially in the summer. Convenient online reservations @ http://lahuella.meitre.com
Lau BonoraFebruary 13, 2016In cre i ble todo! Si o si reserva o esperas mil... rabas un manjar, porciones pequeñas de todo. Pesca del día sublime! Volcán de dulce de leche un must
Maju MJanuary 18, 2015Excelente la tarta de cebollas al vino tinto con queso de cabra, la pizza de choclo rica. El volcán de chocolate riquiiiisimo. Lo malo es la cantidad de gente que entra y sale constantemente.
