Looking for a new brunch/lunch spot?

I love brunch and am always on the hunt for a new brunch spot in Montevideo!   I tried the brunch at Sucré Salé Café & Bistró on the weekend. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food; the poached eggs/homemade hashbrown/cherry tomato meal was yummy.  The toast was too dry though so avoid that part of the meal.  The pancake meal was also very yum with 3 large fluffy pancakes.  The juice is real but needs a lot of sugar.  Coffee could definitely do with some work so be aware when ordering coffee.  Service was friendly but the food does take a while to cook.  There is a small garden at the back of the cafe that is nice for kids to run around in.  I thought the cafe prices were very reasonable and I would be happy to give Sucré Salé another try.  A tip: don't use the link to the google map directions via the Sucré Salé Café Facebook page, it takes you to the completely wrong area on the street!

Are you sick of eating the same old Uruguayan pizza?

I tried the most delicious Brazilian style pizza at a friends Birthday party and was keen to try it again.  The restaurant is called Pizzeria Pizzaiolo and the 2nd time around I was not disappointed! With flavours that vary from the basic Uruguayan-style pizzas, Pizzeria Pizzaiolo is a must try!   They don't provide the usual massive amounts of fake mozzarella and thick doughy bases, instead they have delicious sauces, flavours and toppings.  I love the BBQ chicken pizza and the buffalo wings are great too - they even make Hawaiian pizza! (ever seen that in Uruguay?!).  The pizzas are huge (40cm) and big enough for our family of 4.  You can order for delivery online at PedidosYa or dine in at their restaurant in Punta Gorda.  You must give Pizzeria Pizzaiolo a shot!

Did you miss out on seeing the Swan Lake Ballet?

I missed out on tickets for the latest national ballet show because the tickets sold out...but wait...Sodre have just published that they are holding an extra performance to fundraise for Dolores!  More information is available on the Sodre Facebook page or you can buy your tickets on http://tickantel.com.uy. See you at the show!

Looking for a sewing machine shop/repair service?

I was highly impressed with the service at Masian when I took my overlocker in for repairs.  Not only were the staff super knowledgeable, helpful and friendly, they also went the extra mile getting their daughter to phone my cell and speak to me in English.  My overlocker is working perfectly and the repairs are guaranteed for 3 months.   Alongside repairs, this store also sells a variety of sewing machines, overlockers, fabric cutters and other accessories.  I was never keen to buy a Chinese made sewing machine from a Uruguayan supermarket or appliance store so was pleased to see Masian selling Brother, Singer and other reputable brands right here in Uruguay!  This store is definitely worth a visit.
