Parador La Huella

Nice restaurant, with the vibes of Uruguay… rustic and sophisticate, the meat was very tender and delicious with a lot of flavour from spices - which I love - the dessert, a dulce de leche petit gateau, was incredible! Their selection of draft beer was also amazing, but it was expensive - more than I believe should for what it was! But definitely nice and a hype place

After reading the reviews & being recommended by friends, we came to La Huella for lunch. We had the octopus, sushi and volcano de Dulce the leche and they were all amazing. We also tried two of their signature drinks which were also nice! Great atmosphere and service as well.

Rating: ★★★☆☆ While the food here was impressive, especially the authentic sushi rolls with perfect rice and fresh fish, and the grilled fish and pasta were delicious, the overall experience was disappointing. The restaurant was far too crowded, with a pretentious atmosphere that made it less enjoyable. Despite having a booking for an indoor table or one in the shade, we were seated in the sun, which was uncomfortable. Even with a reservation, we still had to queue up. It seems like they are overbooking beyond their capacity, which really takes away from the potential of the place. They should focus on quality service and not just packing in as many people as possible.

We had to try this Uruguayan classic, and we were not disappointed. Fantastic location in front of the beach, great vibe, delicious food, and wine. We had an amazing evening and can't wait to be back. Price: decent prices for the place, quality and location Service: great service, everyone made aure we had a good time Food: fresh and delicious. Wine selection is great with good prices too Ambience: couldn't ask for better place to enjoy an evening. We went for lunch

Sunday is supposedly sushi day, where they have a professional sushi chef preparing locally sourced fish. Had the Lisa sashimi. Was delicious but seemed a bit overpriced. The lava cake filled with Dulce de Luche is a nice Uruguayan adaptation... And perhaps better than the original with chocolate. It's a fun, cozy and lively atmosphere in here. Everyone here seems to be in good mood from all the staff to all the people of all ages coming and going. Seems to attract a more ritzy yet warm crowd.

Absolutely excellent. Food is fantastic, authentic and as good as it gets. Bring your wallet full and piggy bank too so you can order extra.

Ah, La Huella, where the Uruguayan sun kisses the shores of José Ignacio and the culinary magic unfolds! Where else can you find the perfect harmony of beach vibes and gastronomic delight? I embarked on a culinary journey that tickled my taste buds with the exotic and the familiar, all at once. First up, the 'Tiradito de Pejerrey con Pimienta y Ciboulette y Cilantro' - a dish that dances on your palate like a tango dancer gliding under the starlit sky of Punta del Este. It's like a symphony of flavors, where each note is perfectly pitched. Then came the 'Corvina Curada con Huevo Pouche, Crema Ácida y Rúcula.' Ah, this dish! It's like the culinary version of a Luis Suarez goal - unexpected, thrilling, and leaves you cheering for more. The 'Sorrentinos de Calabaza, Granos y Hojas de Mostaza y Naranja' arrived, and I was transported to a quaint Montevideo street, basking in the warmth of the setting sun. Each bite was a reminder of Uruguay's simple yet profound love for life and good food. And the finale, 'Filet de Brotola con Piel a la Plancha,' was the star striker of the evening. It was as if the chef whispered sweet nothings to the fish, and it willingly transformed into a masterpiece on my plate. In summary, La Huella is not just a restaurant; it's a celebration of Uruguay's heart and soul. It's where the ocean's bounty meets the land's warmth. A place where every dish tells a story, and every story is worth savoring. So, if you ever find yourself wandering in the charming streets of José Ignacio, let your footsteps lead you to La Huella. Buen provecho!

Everything an informal beach restaurant should be and more. Food all worthy of Michelin 5-star, without the hoopla. The finest, freshest ingredients, highlighting local cuisine, all served impeccably with aplomb and panache, in spite of the restaurant being packed from noon till 2 am. Servers all find the perfect balance between being too intrusive and too formal. What a find! I would go back to Uruguay just to eat here again.
