Another Uruguay Expat blog we frequent is Total Uruguay. It is run by “Lee from Pocitos” and in addition to a blog, the Total Uruguay website also features forums and other information on Uruguay. If you aren’t familiar with this Uruguay blog, check it out.
Lee is also responsible for organizing the Sunday Expat meeting that has traditionally been held at Old Maz in the Pocitos area of Montevideo. However, Old Maz is moving to a new location, under a new name, and will no longer be open on weekends. So, a new location for the Sunday Expat lunches has been chosen.
Starting August 30, the Expat lunch will be held every Sunday afternoon at 1 pm at the following location:
Fellini Ristobarette
Jose Marti 3408 (corner of Benito Blanco and Jose Marti)
1 block from the corner of Av. Brasil and Benito Blanco
Pocitos, Montevideo
You can find more information about the weekly Expat Meeting in Montevideo on the Total Uruguay website.
We’ve eaten at Fellini a couple times and it was great. One time we got lasagna to go (it had ham in it like almost all food in Uruguay) and the other time we had gnocchi. Both were great. We’ll definitely be checking out the new location for the Montevideo expat meeting in the coming weeks.
