Let me explain you sth! There is not a large variety of food because Uruguayan do not eat out that often, when we do it, we eat what is called "minutas" I don´t know the translation, but is the type of food that you don´t usually make at home, such as pizza, asado (if you live in a small apartment not many people have a parrilla to make it), chivito, choripan, etc. But there are tons of different meals which are prepared at home! We just don´t sell that type of "home made meals" in restaurants. Except for pastas, milanesas and sometimes fries... You can eat pasta or rice prepared in many different ways, from lasagna to gnocchi as well as potato prepared many ways like Shepard pie to a kind of quiche (no dough), buseca, olla podrida, guisos, porotos, tortas saladas, polenta, different types of stew(guisos, ensopados), soups, vegetables prepared in several ways (sometimes in oven with white sauce), crepes (sweet ans savory) different types of meats prepared in different ways like lengua a la vinagreta, escabeches, sandwiches, etc etc. etc. Restaurants sell only the most popular minutas! As you might have noticed, we are a melting pot, culturally, so we have meals and drinks of many parts of Europe and a few from the region (such as mate), so the variety is very large and it differs from family to family depending on their origin. For example in my house we had even Jewish influence in our food, besides a lot of Italian and Portuguese... My neighbor at the corner of my house, was of Russian descent and her meals were delicious but pretty different than ours!
lauruguayitausa : "minutas" can be translated as "fast food", though,here in Canada, fast food is associated to junk food since is mostly bad quality and unhealthy. "Minutas", on the other hand,are pretty good and reflect what you may eat at home,without cooking or doing dishes. Un "choripan" is a "minuta", as much as a milanesa con ensalada (yum,yum) and definitely there is no way one can compare these quality items with the grease potions of McDonald.
So nice to see a video about Uruguay in French. This combines 2 of my favorite things. I have only been to Uruguay twice for very short visits, but I love the country. Yes, the people are so warm and humble. I hate to say this, but there is also an earthy manliness about the men that rings my chimes. This is embarrassing to admit, but in old town I took so many photos of men from the back bc they wore their button down shirts so well. Ahhhh, thanks for the memories!
Great little video! You made me smile a lot of the way through - especially the part about watching the beautiful sunsets in Montevideo instead of watching TV :) Just one thing about the very variable weather variations (which I totally agree with) - you didn't point out that you have come in *winter* - so having one cold day and then another of 24 degrees during winter is actually a pretty positive thing, right? :) Looking forward to seeing your next vids!
Thanks a lot for your message, very encouraging! Of course winter is not THAT bad -we just add a bit of drama for the video - the thing is we left our country in the end of winter so we had two winters in a row. Hope you'll like the next one besos
Enjoyed the video.It was funny when u talk about weather vartiations! U were compleyely rigth thats why , in winter , evgen having 4C in the morning I allways carry shorts in my backpack , the possibility to enjoy water and swimming its allways there and u have toi be prepared! Are you still around here? I asked because may be u r interested in discovering the inner country, we have the gaucho/guarani culture , and thats important to completely enjoy and understand Uruguay. regards
I don't find Uruguay expensive. Food (meat, vegetables, fruit and other local products are substantially cheaper than in Canada for instance and the meat is of super high quality) Good Wine is also available at a small price. Rent is also quite reasonable for typical apartments, many uruguayans pay U$S400 or less a month. Buying imported products is expensive. Restaurants are a bit pricey but still less than in North America or Europe. Hotels are very cheap compared to N. America or European prices.
Thats if you take Canadian or american money. For what uruguayan’s make, its expensive. Minimum wage is like 450-500 dollars. Rent like you said is 400.... do the math. Expensive for the people who live and work there, not for people who visit with money.
Expensive yes and no I was able to meet some locals and was able to live , travel cheap. Sometimes the price you pay is not calculated in Money. Still my favorite country!
Hello, serait-ce envisageable d'être, pour un français ne parlant pas encore espagnol, d'être guidé sur place dans un cadre d'expatriation en Uruguay au niveau des démarches afin d'être compris par les interlocuteurs, savoir récupérer et remplir les documents etc etc ?
A $1000.00 per month is expensive?? I don't know the prices in Belgium however, I do know the prices in The Netherlands.. $1000.00 per month in the Netherlands won't get much in regards to an apartment.
@@stripcities159 we are planing in moving to Uruguay when the borders are opened(hopefully very soon) and are thinking to stay in an Airbnb for the first month. Do you know anything on this topic? The conditions , the prices, etc? We are considering Montevideo
@@victorias9373 Hello Victoria. That's exactly what we did before we get our apartment. So I would avise you to do so. Punta Carretas is a great neighborhood.
Uruguay is basically a socialist nightmare with lots of civil servants, strong unions, but still poorly wages. Everything there is mediocre and overprized. No my freinds I will stick with the good old dirty but cheap Paraguay. Less Overregulation and very tranquil, modest people. :-)

ALL big cities are expensive, in every country. Try some of the smaller towns.
Thank you for such a direct, genuine, on-the-street and relatable vlog about Montevideo - SO VERY HELPFUL AND RELATABLE!! ❤👍🙏😊

Girl! you said that mate " its very good" without even a blink!! congratulations..You are a very good actress!!

Interessant ! L hiver , est ce qu il neige ? Comment vivent les etudiants a Montevideo qui n habitent pas chez les parents ?
My french is moderate .....so i can only understand "french fries".

@@Obsessivemind of course on minimum wage you will struggle. Try living on minimum wage in US. Or in Vancouver Canada
Samuel forsure, the thing is 2/3 of the uruguayan population make minimum wage and jobs are very hard to find. Thats what i meant.
@@Obsessivemind Finding jobs for foreign immigrants, difficult?
R John depends on what you’re qualified as, knowing English is always a plus
Expensive yes and no
I was able to meet some locals and was able to live , travel cheap. Sometimes the price you pay is not calculated in Money. Still my favorite country!

Bonjour et bienvenue en Uruguay!
If you are interested in doing a video together we can talk about that.
Have a great time! :)
Muchas gracias! That could be fun!
Have a good day!
Love what you do and how you do it. Question: what was the process of finding apartment? Did you have it before moving to Uruguay?
Thanks a lot! No we just start looking once we arrived :)

@@stripcities159 thank you! I hope we’ll enjoy Uruguay and find it interesting
@@victorias9373 finger crossed
I've been enjoying your videos!
Thanks a lot for your comment!! You like Uruguay?
I visited once and loved it, and I hope to visit again with a longer stay.
So how much would cost 100 acres of undeveloped land in Uruguay?
Hi there we are thinking of emigrating to your country. Can we contact you and find out more about your country please??
Le “dulce de lèche” en France, ça existe, cela s’appelle la confiture de lait.
By the way.."Escaramuza" is a small battlle
A "skirmish" would be the direct translations actually
Alfajores yummy yummy.
Gustan espanol tambien?
Ya por favor dejen de mirar a este país. Se nos van a venir todos y lo van a romper . Somos poquitos y estamos bien así
Dimichou
I love that there is no islam in Uruguay
Please don’t make a video title in English when the video itself is in French.
I stopped watching after 1:50
That's a good start anyway :)
