Uruguay map

Uruguayan cuisine centers on beef, reflecting the country's strong cattle-ranching tradition, alongside Italian and Spanish immigrant influence. Grilling culture, the asado, holds deep social significance.

Asado, grilled beef prepared over an open fire, is widely regarded as a national tradition. Chivito, a hearty steak sandwich, remains a beloved Uruguayan specialty.
