What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Los Leños is highly praised for its delicious food, particularly the local Uruguayan cuts and octopus starters, as well as its cozy and aesthetically pleasing tropical ambiance. Diners also appreciate the generous portion sizes and flavorful dishes. However, some have experienced slower service at times, with one review noting being ignored after their plate was cleared.
"A typical 'parrilla' with a twist of thinking in modern gastronomy: sweetbread with a Dijon mustard sauce, a tender feed lot asado, the greens salad with a good assortment. Above all, service is above standard, either for table, plates and wines. Nice warm decoration. Good prices. Commends for our waiter, Brian!"
Viviana del Rio
"I went because the photos of the restaurant were beautiful, but I was underwhelmed. After clearing my plate, the servers ignored me for quite a while until I was able to flag one down to get the bill. The braised lamb shank was alright, but I don’t think I would order it again. I did like the spinach side."
Christopher Raes
"Excellent food! Everything was really rich and flavorful, and they have a wide selection of delicious limonadas. The pesto fettuccini was amazing. Service was good and the decor was very cool. The weird doll head thing in the women’s restroom was… interesting."
