This is my favorite place to eat, or drink or just hang out in Lucena, without a doubt…read more Restaurante Manolo is located inside the Costa Brava Praia Resort Hotel, and Manolo is the owner of both. He's also the executive chef of the restaurant. Forget the beautiful view of the oceanfront of Fagundes Beach; forget that this is the ONLY hotel in Lucena (there are other B&B's, but they don't have restaurants and don't have the view that this place has). You can sit poolside below a palm-covered outdoor seating area and enjoy some Spanish dishes (like suckling pig, paella, fideuá and others), raclette, lobster and other seafood dishes as well as Brazilian dishes. Manolo is quite the character, and will visit each and every table during your stay (he speaks Spanish and Portuguese only), joking and entertaining guests. He's one of the main reasons it's worth coming here! The food is the second reason. You will not find another place in Lucena that serves the same dishes or has the same quality. Their wine list is extensive and their prices are incredibly reasonable. If you're in the neighborhood, I highly recommend snacks, or lunch or just a bottle of bubbly poolside while in this tropical paradise.

The restaurant is absolutely beautiful--the service is always excellent--the food is always delicious--and the portions are incredibly generous!

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.

I have eaten at Beijupirá Olinda several times, but I don't think I will be coming back again…read more Beijupirá has five locations, and I have eaten in 3 of them. I think I only wanted to like this place, but the truth is, I really don't. What is nice is the entrance: you enter either descending down a winding stair through a tropical garden or you can a funicular (which is as cute as heck). The restaurant itself is just a rectangular box, that when full is as noisy as a cafeteria. They have 3 tables outside, and this was the first time that we sat here and if you must eat here, I recommend that you choose to sit outside. The food is another problem for me. The plating is very amateurish, and most plates look similar. All of their fish offerings are breaded and fried, which, to me shows a lack of creativity and is rather boring. I had their jambalaya, which was without flavor. Service is mediocre and confused. After receiving our appetizers, another waiter came to deliver the appetizers again. For the prices they charge, the food and service are not commensurate.

Order a caipifruta de caja and a portion of shrimp pasteis. To use the chairs for free, there is a minimum consumption of R$40, otherwise it's R$ 7 a person.
