Montevideo Yacht Club - Sailing, gastronomy and events

Media_httpfarm1static_xancs

Hi GourmandsUruguay friends and followers. I must say that this post has many objectives. The Montevideo yacht club building is one example of the amazing arquitecture you can find over the city. This decó arquitecture building was built in the decade of the 30's, a very special year in the history of Uruguay that celebrates other events with worldwide significance like the Fifa World Cup, the 1st one, which finally Uruguay won against Argentina.

The Yacht Club building is an amazing place for sports, events and leisure. You can become a member to enjoy the best quality sailing sports in the city, but the club also counts with tennis courts and gym.
The building also works as a great events venue, which is usually used by its members for private parties and corporative events.

To add even more options, the building counts with a great restaurant, which in my opinion is one of the best of the city, for its location, service and atmosphere. The restaurant is open for the public and its very recommendable to go for lunch and enjoy the view from the sofas at the balcony.

If restaurants is about, the Yacht Club restaurant is a must. And of course, if you want to try sailing over the River Plate too!

Range price: 35 to 50 dollars for two.
