From Our Garden to Your Plate
Our philosophy is simple: ingredients should tell their own story.
Each dish begins just steps away, in our organic vegetable garden, where chefs pick fresh vegetables, aromatic herbs, and edible flowers daily.
Local fishermen bring in the day’s catch from the Atlantic and Laguna Garzón, while regional farmers supply grass-fed meats and artisanal cheeses. It’s a true farm-and-sea-to-table experience—seasonal, sustainable, and distinctly Uruguayan.
Soon, we’ll share our full menu here, which is a reflection of the landscape itself: elegant and deeply flavorful.
Our Cuisine and Atmosphere
Lunch unfolds slowly at Las Cárcavas.
No matter if you choose the à la carte menu or the seasonal tasting experience, every plate carries the quiet sophistication that defines this place.
You might begin with tapas and chilled wine on the pergola by the beach, or linger over a three-course menu crafted around local produce and fresh seafood.
Our culinary advisor and chef team blend Uruguayan tradition with modern precision, creating dishes that balance simplicity and creativity—from handcrafted pastas to grilled coastal fish, from garden vegetables to perfectly seared premium meats.
A Day at Las Cárcavas
Lunch here is the beginning of a day to remember.
Guests are invited to linger long after dessert: to swim in the pool surrounded by greenery, unwind on shaded loungers, or stroll the paths that wind through pines and gullies.
