We recently returned to Colonia for a winter's get-away, and were surprised to find that one of our favourite restaurants, El Rincon was closed and the building partly demolished. We were therefore happily surprised when we rounded the next corner and met the owner Sandro, who introduced us to his new El Rincon cafe/restaurant. Sandro explained that with the various... More

We went to the corner restaurant opposite the river on more than one occasion and we were delighted with the views, atmosphere, food and the warm and welcoming owner Sandro, who took special care of us. It was great to have a selection of meats - the beef is perfect and the lamb is delicious - and to relax in... More

Our family thoroughly enjoyed a fabulous lunch in this delightful, laid-back little place. Greatest hits were the pork chops and the delicious sausages. Highly recommended.

Sandro, our chef, prepared everything perfectly. Steak was great,and the raviolis... More

Basically a "parrillada" - barbeque restaurant - the range of "cocina" (kitchen) dishes is limited. The menu is simple and reasonably priced. The staff were willing and attentive and service was quick. Guillermo - the parrillero - is great!! Cooks... More
