What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Bungalow Suizo offers a traditional Swiss dining experience with a cozy ambiance and classic dishes like fondue and rosti. While many praise the unique atmosphere and certain signature items, some reviewers find the overall experience to be disproportionately expensive for the quality and consistency of the food, with notable complaints about slow service and dry dishes.
"Landmark of Punta del Este. I have known the place all my life. It always stays current with the trends, the food is top quality and it is definitely worth the price. I go back every summer, I have never been disappointed!"

"Fondue was decent but one star is because I ordered a fish and it was dry and tasteless. Service was terrible and it took them forever to bring anything. Only eat the fondue stay away from everything else and make sure to be prepared for extremely slow service. Food was also the most expensive I’ve eaten in punta del este. Definitely not worth the price"

"High end restaurant. Expect prices to be as high as they get. Service is really attentive and nice. The potato rosti dish is a must have!
Fondue was only ok. For the price we payed, we expected it to be better. The menu is also confusing, as you can switch everything up but it’s not clarified.
We had a lovely evening but probably won’t come back as it is so expensive. It’s more of a one off experience."
