Visiting MONTEVIDEO's Attractions + Eating CHIVITO (Uruguay's National Dish) 🇺🇾

- Hello from Montevideo! In today’s video, we'll be visiting some of the city's attractions and also sampling Uruguay's national dish - chivito! We started the morning with a visit to the iconic Palacio Salvo, which is a landmark in Montevideo’s Old Town. This was the tallest building in all of South America up until the year 1935. If you think Palacio Salvo looks familiar, that’s because you can find its twin, Palacio Barolo, across the pond in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Both were designed by the Italian architect Mario Palanti. Originally, the idea for this particular structure was to build a hotel, however, in the end only one floor ever functioned as that, and all the other floors were turned into apartments and office space. During our tour, we also visited the viewing deck on the 25th floor, where you get a bird’s eye view of Montevideo.
Then, we continued to Bar Hispánico for lunch, where we ordered chivito - Uruguay's national dish! Chivito consists of a beef steak, which can be served in sandwich or plated form. It is then topped with a mountain of mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, mayonnaise, olives, bacon, beets, eggs, ham, fries and just about anything else you can imagine. It's a must-try dish for anyone visiting Uruguay.
The following day we explored the beachside neighbourhood of Pocitos, which is beautiful for a stroll along the waterfront. Fun fact: Montevideo's rambla is the longest continuous sidewalk in the world stretching 22.2 kilometres in length down the coast! This is also where you'll find the Montevideo city sign for that classic postcard shot of the city. The sign gets repainted quite often, so you never know what colours or patterns you'll get on your visit.
We hope you enjoy this video and we'll see you again in the next one!

Dad adds a lot!⭐⭐⭐
Thanks Laurence! Great to have him with us.
This video brought me so many memories of my beautiful little country 💙 🤍 💛 thank you!
Thank you very much! We just loved visiting!
The more you travel, the more
you see that there are so many wonderful things in the world. It can be
difficult to settle for something great when you can see that there could
always be something better just round the next corner. Travel can sometimes
simply be about a quest for perfection. This quest for perfection that we are looking for,we found just now in
your video so the only that we have to say on you: Huge thank you and keep going!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much!
Audrey's father is very knowledgeable.
And funny.
Thanks! Great to have him with us.
Indeed!
You had me at Chivito 😀
Hahaha...thanks Mark! They're so good we're thinking about trying to recreate one at home soon
Don't break the mate circle!
VERY INTERESTING CITY
Thanks Inacio! Totally agree with yoU!
Bellissima MONTEVIDEO! Il suo nome italiano dice tutto! Grazie mille!
Grazie Maria!
Thank you for the videos of your trips to Argentina and Uruguay. I did not know that Uruguay has such beautiful beaches and cities!

@@samuelandaudrey i can't for you guys and all of us to travel again. What will be your first stop? Mine will either Greece or Turkey.
It's amazing Uruguay🇺🇾 ⚽🏆
Thanks Paul! We had a great time!
Great video Sam and Audrey you sure had a lot of extra videos from your trip to South America to show us during covid times wow
Thank you very much Effie! We sure feel lucky we had this backlog as we haven't really been traveling since covid.
I love the fact that you came and you enjoyed my country , I do really love your videos because is super realistic in what we are in here, especially in your video of " Don'ts" As well I loved this video because I actually have been searching for a Korean restaurant in Montevideo. My husband is Irish and when we lived in Ireland I got addicted to Chinese and Korean food, haha... but there is not much I can prepare here in Uruguay because I live in the country side, in a small town called Dolores, far from Montevideo. So your video will super help us to find it and visit the place and as you did, taste a little of their amazing Korean dishes. THANK YOU!!! I LOVED THE VIDEO!!!
Thank you very much Dahi! That is great to hear. We'd love to see more of Uruguay as we just scratched the surface. Hope to visit more of the countryside next time and fishing villages.
Wunderschöne Aufnahmen!
:)
Hey, I've been watching y'all for some time now (randomly) & I'm considering a visit to to Buenos Aires & Montevideo (& more). Enjoy your presentations. thanks for sharing, gracias

Thank you very much Maria! So appreciate hearing that.
@@samuelandaudrey Welcome looking forward for moreee travel. More beach fun fun in the sun :)
🇺🇾❤️🇦🇷💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Gracias!
Also, I was surprised to discover that you three were surprised, in a good way, to have discovered a Korean restaurant in URUGUAY! And so does your food there, especially the dumplings, look rather delicious.
Thanks Brady! It was a real find! We were so craving Korean food that day.
Hola familia, es bonita la ciudad de Montevideo me ha gustado mucho este video ya lo vi en version española y lo he vuelto a ver porque me encanta oiros hablar en inglés. Besos desde Valencia(Espana).
Gracias Irene!
Regarts from Croatia! You gays a very natural i make a good travel vlogs. Injoy under the sun...
Thanks Ivan! All the best in Croatia!
You hit one of the top Chivito stops, Bar Hispano. El Rey de Chivitos restaurant is more for the locals, cheap & no frills & is rated #1💙 El Palenque restaurant is the best at the Mercado del Puerto🤓
Thanks Laurence! Would love to check out El Rey de Chivitos next time.
Im here from cake english.. i love how you talk...
Thanks Amaya!
El Museo de Cannabis was very near that park lol maybe the bag was an invite to visit the museum.
Haha, could be! 😅😅
my husband went to uruguay he stayed in pando he ate alot off chivitos he loved them but he said you should try the tortas fritas with a mate {the local drink} especially on a rainy afternoon
Oh, thanks for the recommendation!
One of the translations for bibimbap was "eating bop" . Funny.
Hahaha...oh, the auto-translate comes up with some gems sometimes
Impressed it was built in 5 years?...The construction of the Empire State Building (NYC) began on March 17, 1930. Construction was completed in 1 year and 45 days.
Wow! That is unbelievable for such an iconic building.
Se cuenta q el mejor chivito está en el barrio carrasco bar Arocena en la calle Arocena casi la costa , les faltó visitar carrasco en el castillo del casino carrasco
Gracias por compartir. Espero visitar la próxima vez.
Hola chicos! Vi todos sus videos de Uruguay y me gustaron mucho, solo una corrección, el chivito canadiense es el sándwich! el otro es el chivito al plato o chivito común, saludos!
Gracias!
Jaja yo también limpio los cubiertos en los restaurantes igual que Don Daniel, jaja
Gracias!
Interesting to see that prices are much higher in Uruguay. Stronger currency?
When we visited it was due to the difference in inflation and economy.
Interesting trip and city! Did you had a chance to talk with locals ? Are they happy ?
Thank you very much! Locals were indeed friendly to us.
Why wouldn't they be happy? Google Uruguay a bit and you'll see they have everything to be some of the happiest people.
Sam and his Bibimbap :)
Hahaha...any chance I get! Thanks!
❤️
Thanks Deb!!!
La altura de lo edificios de la Rambla de Pocitos fue limitada para evitar que proyectaran su sombra sobre la playa, de modo que haya sol hasta ya entrada la tarde.
Ahh, muy interesante. Gracias por el dato, Alexis!
@@samuelandaudrey Gracias a uds. por mostrar tan bien mi ciudad.
Muy buenos todos sus vídeos!
Saludos!
Good day
Good day to you too. Thanks for watching!
Hello happy people
Wow Montevideo looks so lush and feels so chill
Overall would you say you've felt safer here than Buenos Aires?
And please bear in mind I don't mean any disrespect to any of these countries (been to both)
I'm well aware that Audrey and dad Daniel are from Argentina
Just wanted your opininion on the Uruguayan capital city as opposed to Ciudad de la furia
All the best
Stay safe!
One more thing: any other India series coming up?
Thanks Bradley! Buenos Aires is definitely bigger so Montevideo is a bit more chill. We honestly felt safe in both cities but we tend to not go out much at night. Ah, an announcement about India soon! :)
Argentina is actually safer than Uruguay, according to data from the last few years. But it's not really that big of a difference. The entire Southern Cone is very safe.
@@zddxddyddw fo real? I have been in both, I will not say Uruguay is better but I felt more safe in Uruguay than in Argentina. But as you say the southern cone is super safe compared to another places.
I've always wanted to travel to Uruguay, it looks very European.
Cool to hear!
Please go back I feel like you guys Rush the country .look like there is a lot more to see and eat around there.
Thanks Ivan! Our trip was a bit rushed. Would love to go back and see more.
The Mississippi beach has a concrete walkway about that long.
Very cool to hear Danny! Would love to visit someday.
🌷
Thank yoU!
I was really surprised to see that Korean restaurant in Montavideo. But Sam have mentioned He ate korean food last time in South Korea only. I'm really wondered... Is not there some Korean restaurant in Canada or just don't you go there? 🤔
THanks Evgenii! It was a nice surprise. We need to try more places in Canada. Toronto has some really good ones.
@@samuelandaudrey Ok. Just do it! 💪🏻 More food, more adventure if you can of course. 😁 You're awesome anyway!
I didn't see Audrey's dad at the korean restaurant, does he only eat milanese and chevito?
Haha, he skipped out on Korean food!😅 But we have introduced him to kimchi bokkeumbap since we've been back in Canada.
💞❤👍👍💕💗
Thanks!
Where is your father from? Speaks Spanish very well.
Saludos!
Thanks Bruno. He's actually from Argentina. Made a series about his life on our Spanish channel: czcams.com/play/PLZ1Xn_FkRniMrv8qV03OyQVuj2fFN9-5q.html
Bienvenidos a Montevideo! Están ahora por acá? Pregunto por la pandemia
Gracias! Ah, en 2019.
Ur Dad is so cool
Thanks!
Heyo Everyone Beautiful city landscapes culture Q: How safe is Montevideo in 2021 ?
Thanks Ronald! Great question. Since we visited in 2019 can anyone chime in?
The Canadian-style chivito looks more delicious than the authentic Uruguayan version.
Oh, they were both soooo good!
How does this compare to Merida?
👍👍👍🇰🇷
Thanks for watching!
Montevideo has many Italian restaurants don't they?
Hello Juan here, you're in Uruguay really; eating Corean foods come on guys...
Just learned that Uruguay was the first country in South America to legalize marijuana. I wanna try the Iguanas coffee and weed shop, next time in Montevideo. Thanks, guys!
Thanks Paul!
Hola .viven lejos de TORONTO ? tengo un pariente que vive allí ...JOE DI NENNO..Jajaja 🙋♂️🇦🇷🙋♂️
Ahh, no, no lo conocemos a Joe! Nosotros vivimos en una ciudad satelital a Toronto.
@@samuelandaudrey si...es policia
It’s amazing how Audrey stays that thin.
It is! She's good at portion control whereas I'm a work in progress 😃
Great genetics plus lots of walking and exercise along the way. Great job girl.
Hi is your wife and father in-law are from uruguay??
From Argentina.
The korean food was a bit of a suprise lol but it looked good.
Thanks! It was a nice surprise to have it!
@@samuelandaudrey Yes, Korea and Latin America are two of the places I would like to visit the most! Thank you for making the travel/food content!
:-)
:)
If it were truly Canadian, they would put maple syrup on top
Hahaha...next time!
Next time go to emporio de los sandwuches
Thanks for the suggestion!
La señora de los tres perritos va todos los días a la plaza y se sienta al sol que boluntad yo la eh visto muchas veces
Gracias! Es interesante escuchar eso.
chivito : a load of everything buried under a mountain of fries...LOL
hahaha...basically!
Architecture is better than São Paulo. They know better to preserve what they own.
We really enjoyed staying in the historic part of the city.
Artigas fought for the "Provincias Unidas del Rio de la Plata", not for an independent Uruguay, Uruguay was created because of British intervention and interests (the whole idea of an Independent Provincia Oriental came from Britain)...
;
Samuel, I’m gonna ask what we’re all thinking. Are you happy being relegated to cameraman in your own channel?
To be honest I never felt that way at all. We invited Audrey's Dad because he's such a natural on camera and for a 3 month trip where we're filming in both languages every day it was kind of nice to have three people helping out in different roles.
@@samuelandaudrey it’s true. He is good on camera. I do think that Audrey should also film though!! 🤗
Korean food is underrated.
Thanks! Totally agree!
LAMENTABLE SIGUE COMIENDO
Gracias!
Horribly unhealthy disgusting food !!!
