Escaramuza

"A gorgeous, high-ceilinged bookstore with colorful tiled floors forms the entrance to this charming cafe, tailor-made for a quiet midmorning coffee and snack or a late afternoon craft beer (note that tables fill up rapidly at lunchtime). The simple menu includes spinach tarts, soups, and sandwiches on bread that is dense and moist (still a rarity in a city that prefers the airy baguette), plus a generous selection of desserts, like carrot cake and brownies. The owners are also behind another beautiful cafe space, Cultural Alfabeta, and the kitchen of the new five-star Hotel Montevideo. — NMW" - Marcela Baruch, Nell McShane Wulfhart

Tony had lunch with journalist Carina Novarese, contributor for the publication El Observador. They had homemade sausage with roasted turnip and fermented vegetables, beet quiche.

"Another one of Soria's favorites, this charming bookstore-café hybrid is located in a gorgeous building built in 1903." - Maria Yagoda
