BAR CENTRAL

A bohemian, slightly nerdy bar, probably the most German-Pratin of Recife's bars. Filmmaker Kleber Mendoça Filho, director of Bacurau, son of Recife, the new capital of Brazilian cinema, makes a few appearances here to meet friends. The look is at once sober, kitsch and family-friendly, with red skai chairs. The walls feature a few black-and-white photos of the Recife of yesteryear. The menu offers well-crafted dishes and good cocktails. Vegans and vegetarians are welcome. A relaxed and welcoming Brazilian bar that we love.
