Manzanar.

Occupying a converted supermarket in the heart of Carrasco, Manzanar blends a high-energy industrial aesthetic with the relaxed charm of a neighborhood bistro. The space centers on a series of wood-fired grills where the kitchen applies an experimental lens to South American traditions. While the menu honors the Uruguayan devotion to beef—featuring cuts like rib-eye with chimichurri and rack of lamb—it distinguishes itself through a rigorous focus on artisanal fishing, yielding fresh tiraditos and grilled corvina. The legacy of its founders, who share DNA with the famed La Huella, is evident in the effortless, professional service and the breezy outdoor seating overlooking Plaza Rostand. It is a place where sophisticated, fire-driven cooking feels entirely unpretentious, whether you're under the red-and-white striped awning or seated near the open kitchen.
