Pizzería Girasoles
Traditional place with delicious pizzas and calzones. A delight, fresh dough, wood oven, great musical atmosphere and impeccable service. It has a rather retro setting.

Fuente de los Candados
The padlock fountain
A small fountain at corner of Yi, completely covered by locks. Similar to bridges in many European cities, couples come here to attach a padlock to it. If they do so their love is supposed to last forever and they will also return to Montevideo someday.
