THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Restaurante Cantegrill Parrilla Uruguaya Restaurant Review:


Located on a nondescript street in the back of the colonia Cuauhtémoc, Cantegrill is a pleasant and relaxed neighborhood eatery. While we can’t articulate the difference, Cantegrill serves Uruguayan---not Argentine---fare; like the latter, beef is the word, here presented in a range of traditional South American cuts, such as bife de lomo (sirloin, cut into strips) and bife de chorizo (rump steaks), good for those who like their beef medium to well-done. The beef medallones (similar to filet mignon) in a three-cheese sauce is sinfully rich and properly bloody (though the meat can be cooked to specifications). A bountiful portion of grilled salmon is no stepchild to the turf: fresh and mild, served with a dash of tarragon sauce. Traditional sides and starters are also on offer, including cheese and charcuterie plates that are great for sharing over red wine. One off note was our spinach empanada, which betrayed a hint of the fridge with the very first bite. Nevertheless, on sunny afternoons, a leisurely lunch al fresco, surrounded by mirthful locals, goes a long way to make up for culinary peccadilloes. Cantegrill's wine list features a good variety of mostly South American selections at quite sporting prices.
