  • Scene

    Given the caliber of locals that summer in Jose Ignacio, it was only a matter of time before a purveyor like Estancia Belcampo that operates a nearby organic farm would make a permanent home just outside the main village. Near the Jose Ignacio roundabout, this casual roadside market and café offers a stylish Mercado façade and grand interiors adorned in industrial detailing, crystal chandeliers and vintage antiques that lends a countryside feel. The Mercado also facilities visits to the nearby farm as well as evening dinners in the countryside and details on the forthcoming estancia that’s in the works.

  • Tips

    Hours can be a bit tricky to predict, as we are convinced no one opens before 9am in Uruguay and that includes the farmers. Plan for a late arrival, no earlier than 11am even during summer.

  • Last Word

    Working in conjunction with local suppliers and food purveyors, Belcampo compliments its assortment of farm goods and produce to create a full-service café and market with artisanal cheeses, homemade paninis, organic salads, Uruguayan wines, evening cocktails and coffee.
