My husband and I ate here when we were in Recife for the World Cup…read more PROs: Lots of selection on the menu, not limited to just Seafood Very generous portions Decent wine menu (for a place in Recife) CONs: Food was ok, but seemed a little "mass produced" We got fried shrimp and chicken - both were fine, but we were expecting more for the price. Service was spotty - the waiter forgot my husband's appetizer and didn't speak any English or any Spanish. In fact, no one in the restaurant did even though when the hotel called them in advance they assured us it was English-friendly. Thank goodness the menus had English. The waiter was also very difficult to track down and would disappear for awhile, which was pretty frustrating. Overall, an ok restaurant to check out in Recife.

The food if always fresh and warm, the waiters always friendly and fast, and the overall experience is good. It's quick and fast if that's what you're looking for, but you can also pop a squat if you wanna stay awhile. Bonus: best. quinoa salad. ever.

Parraxaxá is a very informal restaurant serving traditional north-eastern Brazilian food. The decor…read moreis rusticand the waiters dress like Lampião, the 1930s bandit, whose warcry inspired the restaurant's name. Help yourself to whatever you want from the extensive buffet: you pay for it by weight. Specialities include sarapatel (liver, heart, and blood stew), linguiça de bode (goat sausage), and surabim (a river fish). The great thing is that you can help yourself, so you can experiment and try whatever looks good. There are lots of different cakes for dessert. Try the torta de limão (lime meringue pie) with a dollop of doce de leite (caramel sauce). I've had lunch here three times and dinner once in the week that I've been here. And I'll be going again.

The place seems to be cool for a happy hour, except by the fact that the fans can't do the job very well, so expect to find some heat over there.

There is not one single dish that will disappoint you. The restaurant is a nice seat down place, so it is great for a date night or a nice dinner with family or friends. They serve typical regional food so I highly recommend their "moqueca", specially if you like coconut milk. Their whole fish "a moda do chef", was a real surprise for us. The fish comes stuffed with yucca flour and other seafood. However, if you are not used to yucca flour, I would recommend you try a different dish. Exceptional service, great food, and nice ambience!
