Café Misterio

Montevideo, Uruguay

A Montevideo favourite since 1993, Café Misterio is celebrated for its extensive sushi and sashimi menu – widely regarded as the best in the Uruguayan capital – alongside comforting classics such as lamb empanadas and melted brie on toast. But the offering doesn't stop there; the kitchen also turns out a range of Mediterranean-inspired dishes and Peruvian tiraditos (delicately sliced raw fish). With influences that span continents and flavours that defy easy categorisation, summing up the restaurant's cuisine proves almost as enigmatic as its mysterious name. Inside, the restaurant exudes rustic charm, with exposed brick walls, warm timber beams, soft golden lighting and eclectic decor creating a space that feels both stylish and welcoming. A top choice for everything from relaxed tête-à-têtes to pull-out-all-the-stops dinners, the space becomes particularly lively in the evenings.
