Fun and entertainment Olinda

Brazil, and the Nordeste in particular, obviously know how to preserve these traditional places that have a little extra soul. The Bodega do Veio is one of those timeless places that seem to have come out of a dirty photo album yellowed by time. Mix of shop and bar, you can find everything in the Bodega do Veio! You can shop there or sit on the terrace and try its dishes. Its cod salad is famous in town. In the evenings too, there is a varied musical programme. A must-see!

Bar do Amparo is a beautiful establishment in the upper town of Olinda. Behind the purple-tinted storefront, the bar has preserved its traditional earthen interior decorations. The atmosphere is bohemian, colorful and sophisticated. The petiscos are excellent. The dishes are equally worthy of the place. After the dadinho de tapioca, you must try the shrimps with lemon or the carne do sol with manioc purée. The bar is very popular in Olinda, and on some evenings - the price of success - it's hard to find a seat. Waiting is part of the atmosphere.

On the corner of Praça do Carmo and São Pedro, the Casbah Mourisco bar and pub is located on the first floor of a large Moorish-style house in Olinda. In recent years, it has become a meeting point for tourists and trendy locals alike. In the large and very pleasant "Casbah" courtyard, you can sample traditional dishes for lunch, in buffet form. Throughout the day and well into the night, sweet and savory snacks (petiscos) and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are served. A fine address.
