The best restaurants Brésil Nordeste

Beautiful decoration and view to the garden. A good restaurant in Portuguese specialities and particularly in northern Portugal (cod according to different recipes).

The map mixes traditional Portuguese recipes and Italian dishes. Kitchen mainly based on seafood and meat. Very good wine card.

Very good Italian restaurant. A pretty chic atmosphere.

A good cheap Chinese, which is doubly rare here. Specialities from different parts of China and a varied menu. The restaurant was one of the first Chinese in Recife. 35 years after the establishment of the first restaurant, the brand has developed in several cities in northeastern Northeastern France. In Recife there are two other addresses: Shopping Center Recife and Shopping Center Guararapes, à la carte service and buffet per kilo.

The small archipelago is not short of good surprises and our (re) discovery of the "Mesa da Ana" is without a doubt one of these beautiful discoveries. The chef Ana and her husband Rock only receive eight customers at a time in their restaurant. To be among this small group, you have to book in advance and arrive on time. The evening menu varies according to the catch of the day and the chef's wishes. No menu. You will discover it only at the time of the meal, after having sat at the long common table.

Housed in red-and-green Italian-style walls, just inside the tourist district of Boa Viagem, the "La Tratoria" restaurant offers fine transalpine cuisine. The classics of Italian cuisine, land and sea, are offered on a good menu, complete without being excessive. Fettucini with shrimp, gnocchi, ragù with sausage, vitarela with mushrooms. In short, fans of Mediterranean cuisine or those looking for a break from Brazilian cuisine are sure to find what they're looking for. An interesting wine list.

The Varanda restaurant is an elegant restaurant with prices in line with the rest of the island, but offering quite fine and elaborate dishes. The service is friendly and professional. Varanda, over the years, has become a reference in terms of gastronomy on the island of Fernando de Noronha. The menu offers a wide range of fish and seafood dishes as well as a revisited regional cuisine. The search for quality in the products used is permanent and participates in the recognition of this table well beyond the archipelago.

This interesting restaurant is named after an iconoclastic heroine of Brazilian history. Located in the Floresta Nova district, this very good restaurant serves a menu signed by chef Thiago Silva, with international influences, ranging from Mediterranean and Korean cuisine to South American, Italian and, of course, Northeast influences. The island's fish and seafood dishes are also on the menu. You will appreciate the grilled fish fillet à la belle meunière. A friendly welcome in a modern setting.

In a slightly busy and very welcoming 14-table setting, reminiscent of Marius Degustare in Rio, the Prudente 242 restaurant is as good as it is aesthetically pleasing. It's true that you feel like you're walking into an antique store. Here, it's the rich mineira cuisine that takes pride of place. Tutu mineiro, pork chop with goiaba sauce, homemade rice with garlic... Great classics revisited with brio. If you finish your meal with the sweet trio, you'll feel like you're in paradise, especially if you've enjoyed the various cocktails in moderation. Worth knowing.

Bar da Perua is a bar and restaurant that offers quality regional cuisine. One of the specialities is goat meat, which is very present in the Nordeste, as goat breeding adapts very well to the biogeography of the Nordeste, and carne do sol, another traditional dish. Pirao, beans and chicken gizzards are other "arguments" on the menu that have made the reputation of this simple, friendly and typically regional establishment. A real culinary dive in the Nordeste. The dishes are good value for money.

Founded in 1991, Peixe na Telha has always had the ambition to combine the pleasure of the food with the beauty of the place. Very good fish and seafood. Porto de Galinhas enchants travellers with its crystal clear waters. The Peixe na Telha enchants the guests with its cuisine. The restaurant is inspired by the culinary traditions of the North East, with a subtle blend of spices and the highest quality seafood. The restaurant's privileged location is right in front of the natural swimming pools. It offers guests a refreshing shower, a parasol and chairs.

The Leite is certainly the oldest restaurant in operation in Recife, it was founded in 1882. The great names of business, politics and culture have frequented this establishment. The place is refined, the guests are received under the pleasant music of a grand piano. The show continues in the plate. They serve a good varied cuisine of meat and fish. We will try the lobster with champagne (89 R$). The most popular dessert is the grilled banana covered with cheese, sugar and cinnamon, the cartola.

For those who want to know the tasty cuisine of the most luxurious pousada on the island and enjoy the beautiful view of the Baia do Sueste. Considered the best restaurant on the island, Restaurante Maravilha's menu is signed by chef Joca Pontes, who has won numerous awards from Brazilian and international gastronomic magazines. He offers a very good contemporary cuisine that highlights regional ingredients. When you eat at the outdoor tables, facing the island's landscape, you get a taste of paradise.

The Nordeste culinary tradition is omnipresent in Pernambuco and in Recife in particular. The Parraxaxa is a good and traditional self-service restaurant of Nordestino food in a pleasant setting, with a typical decoration of the region. On Sundays, the restaurant opens its doors at 7am and offers a special brunch where you will enjoy many nordestine specialities. Pleasant service. There are now two Parraxaxa restaurants, one in the residential area of Casa Forte, the other in Boa Viagem.

Ideal for jazz fans, thanks to its elegant decoration and charming piano, but also for lovers of good food. The restaurant offers a varied and original menu which mixes local products with French and contemporary gastronomy. On the menu: carpaccio with passion fruit flavour, duck confit and pear risotto; octopus with paprika... For dessert, to finish with a little Brazilian flavour, we recommend the small acai cake with cupuaçu jelly and crunchy tapioca from Pará!

In this pleasant establishment in Olinda, the menu offers a lot of seafood in the dishes presented at Patuá. Shrimps are the main attraction and the "mariscada of fish and seafood à la pernambucana", with fish, crabs and lobster in natural coconut milk, is particularly appreciated. Regional and contemporary cuisine. Vegetarians are not forgotten. The view of Recife from the balcony, where you can sit in the evening (impossible at lunchtime because of the heat) is quite impressive.

In the beautiful Pousada do Amparo, the Flor do Côco restaurant offers quality regional cuisine. The kitchen has been arranged so that you can see all the stages of preparation of the dishes and admire its beautiful rustic décor. The appetite is whetted even before the plate arrives. You feel as if you are in an old colonial farmhouse surrounded by pots and pans and beautiful scenery. It is a subtle combination of Brazilian cuisine with a contemporary sophistication. Beautiful flavours to discover and an unforgettable view of Recife.

In the upper town, girded in the red and green colors of Italy, the Don Francesco Trattoria is an address that honors transalpine cuisine. Close to the "Quatro Cantos", where all the Olinda carnival lines gather, don Francesco is undoubtedly one of the best Italian restaurants in the region. Spaghetti carbonara, ricotta ravioli, risotto, gnocchi... the classic and the not-so-classic are all on the menu, to the delight of gourmets. Quite good value for money.
