Broad menu, nice ambiance. Stopped for lunch with some business colleagues. Not too busy. Quick service. We had a mixed meat appetizer followed by a variety of entrees -- Milanese, steaks, lasagna. Prices acceptable.
Great portions! I had a Milanesa de Pescado that was spectacular, with a salad- half a plate of lettuce and a whole tomato, sliced and nicely plated. Great atmosphere on the patio, a nice restroom, elegant staff.
We have lived in Uruguay for more than 5 years. We have eaten in restaurants in MVD, Punta, Piriapolis, and Atlantida. Today's mid-day meal at La Galponera outshone them all by a factor of ten.
The bread and spread was incredible. I have missed soft, dense but fine crumb bread. The spread was fresh and tangy.
Next the picada de parilla. Everything was tender and juicy, impeccably seasoned and cooked and not a burnt spot among it. The pepper, garlic, onion and oil was perfection, as was the dry cheese shred served with the meal.
Main courses: My wife had the ravioli verdura with 4 cheese sauce. The ricotta and spinach were the freshest possible, the pasta al dente, the sauce smooth. An utter delight.
I had the lasagna bolognese. A massive portion! Very rich! The cheese and sauce were creamy ad delicuous, the pasta again al dente, the meats crumbled fine. No grease! I had to take half home and was so sorry I was too full for dessert.
Affordable and excellent service. We will visit again and again.
Esta vez no pude probar las pastas caseras, pero la próxima vez que venga lo haré. Comimos de parrilla y la verdad que estaba deliciosa! La atención es un 10 también!!!

Lo positivo: excelente la milanesa napolitana. Bien sequita por afuera. Es con rodajas de tomate, no salsa. A mí me gusta, pero puede haber a quienes no. Buen servicio, aunque demoran un poco los pedidos. Una sola camarera para todo el restaurante, pero muy eficiente y amable.
Lo negativo: Abre a las 12 en punto, y está sobre la ruta. Si llegaste un poco antes, tenés que esperar. Hay estacionamiento, pero no lo abren tampoco antes de las 12, y NO HAY UN MÍSERO ÁRBOL NI SOMBRA.
El chivito canadiense muy completo, pero la carne tan dura que costaba cortarla con cuchillo, ni te digo intentar morderla.

Milanesa Napolitana de Carne Con Fritas
El lugar es bonito, los precios están bien pero el servicio es regular, te traen la comida a destiempo y demoran mucho en servir. Algunos platos vinieron fríos. La napolitana vino quemada en un extremo, la milanesa común era extremadamente fina y estaba doblada, no tenia sabor. Trajeron el asado y se olvidaron de la guarnición, si no la reclamamos no la traían, los bastones de mozzarella estaban helados. La verdad es un lugar que estimo no volveré a visitar. Punto a favor el baño está limpio.
