Here are my notes from when we were there in 2018: We ate lunch at the Mercado, lots of restaurants to pick from, it was very warm inside but we found a restaurant with air conditioning. Tim had sausage, I had chicken, we split a huge beer – the bill came to $35, we put it on our Visa card. The Mercado was close to the ship, I'm pretty sure we could have ordered steak, we just were not interested. You can do a search on Mercado del Puerto. We will be in Montevideo in March and will definitely return to the Mercado.
