Sometimes the guide books get it right, and sometimes they are off. In this feature, we will tell you what the guide pros said about a place and then give you our take.
Our rough guide to Argentina had but a few pages on Uruguay, but that's par for the course in guide book publishing. It did cover Colonia, though, and we took a tip for dinner. Here's what Rough Guides said about Sacramento:
Fabulous food in postmodern surroundings--and even a couple tables outside, weather permitting--includes juicy steak with potatoes and bacon, ultra-fresh salads and unforgettable desserts. Uruguayan wine served by the glass, charming service and live music on Friday and Saturday evening.
We were in town on a Monday, so we can't vouch for the music, but the surroundings were nice--if not necessarily postmodern. (There weren't Lyotard quotes scrawled on the wall or anything.) And the service was great, though the place wasn't exactly bustling.
Our steak did come with potatoes and bacon, but it wasn't that juicy. It was good, though! And the veggie bruschetta, pictured, were a nice departure from the norm in this meat-heavy region.
As for the wine, it was Uruguayan. And thankfully it was available by the bottle as well as by the glass.
