What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Cactus y Pescados offers a beautiful dining experience with incredible service and a focus on delicious fish dishes. While the ambiance and staff are consistently praised, some diners have found certain non-fish dishes to be disappointing or overpriced. It's a popular spot for its beachfront location and overall quality, making it a recommended choice for seafood enthusiasts.
"It was a lovely table outside. Our sever suffered through our poor Spanish. The service was great. Food was good. I ordered fish because we were on the beach, Bikini Beach. It's a bit pricey but that's the rule for upscale spots in Uruguay. Except steak is cheap and very good."

"Very polite and friendly staff. Nice surroundings with open fire. Disappointing Gambas al ajilo, the prawns were great but the sauce had little taste, had to use a lot of salt. The milanese was dry and hard and the roasted veg also dry, didn't really taste fresh. My husband had salmon which he said was excellent, so maybe keep to fish. The flan dessert was very good. Wine was also very good. Only Pepsi not Coca cola. Rather expensive but it's the area I suppose"

"Excellent service. Food was not good. Fried calamari were not tender. Fish plate not be remembered. Plates were served cold. Nice ambiance. Overpriced. No improvements after several visits."
