El Palacio

El Palacio

There are three reasons why I’m writing a review about this restaurant. Under normal circumstances I wouldn’t be able to write a lot about a restaurant like “El Palacio”, other than saying that they have good pizza. Well, that is reason number 1: excellent pizza!

Secondly, it was the only place we found open in Colonia at around 2am. I know it was very late, but being a Friday night we couldn’t believe that there weren’t restaurants, pubs, bars, etc. open. We didn’t want to end up with our hotel’s room service, so finding this small pizzeria was like winning the lottery.

And last but not least, we loved the placemat: an entertaining piece of reading to enjoy while waiting for the food. It stated saying that there was a story told by the elders in Colonia, a myth perhaps that said that Colonia del Sacramento had always been a city where you had to wait. It started in the time of the conquerors, when the cook in charge of the first celebration meal impressed by the luxurious vegetation, aromas, and colors took so long to come back with the ingredients and prepare the meal that the diners were tempted to initiate a street row. The last paragraph read: We don’t know if you believe the story…but it entertained you while our cook prepared a delicious diner for you. Very original.
