The cappuccino milkshake with extra whipped cream is really good. Creamy, not too sweet, and the coffee flavor comes through just right. I grabbed one on a hot afternoon and it hit the spot. Wish the cup was a bit bigger though, finished it too fast. Definitely my go-to if I&#39;m in the area again.

Been coming here for a while now, and the happy hour still gets me. Cheeseburger&#39;s solid, brisket croquettes are always on point. Just wish they&#39;d speed things up a bit, you know? Gets pretty packed and you&#39;ll wait for a table. But for the price, I ain&#39;t complaining. It&#39;s my usual spot when I wanna grab a bite without breaking the bank.

The weekend spread is solid if you&#39;re into Northeastern Brazilian food. Goat meat and sun-dried beef were on point, plus fresh tapioca. So many options I couldn&#39;t try everything. Definitely a return visit.

The seafood platter was solid, prawns were the highlight for sure. Big portions too. I had a glass of the house white with it, worked well with the fried stuff. Place gets busy around 8, but we grabbed a table fine. Would come back for those prawns again.

The caipirinhas were spot on and prices fair for the area. Got a bit loud inside but the vibe was fun. Good spot if you&#39;re wandering around the main strip.

The Joker burger was solid&mdash;juicy patty, cooked right. Movie decor is a cool touch for film nerds. Combo with fries and drink is fair, but the juice was kinda meh.

The entrance fee is a bit steep, but the place itself is really nice. The pool area is surrounded by greenery, and the grilled fish was good. Portions are big enough for three, honestly. Just know you&#39;re paying for the vibe.

Stopped here for breakfast since it was close to the hotel. The buffet is huge, lots of options. I got the tapioca made fresh, pretty good. Omelet station was busy but worth the wait. Menu is small but what we tried was solid. Portions are decent for the price, didn&#39;t feel ripped off. Fine if you&#39;re staying nearby.

The fish soup here is really good. I came for lunch and the place was busy but I still got a table fast. The broth is light and fresh, just the right amount of seasoning. Service was friendly too, didn&#39;t have to wait long for anything. A solid spot if you want something simple and tasty.

Buffet was solid. Good intro to Minas Gerais food, lots of options. The free broth and coffee at the entrance? Nice touch. Prices fair. Service friendly, no complaints. Not fancy but does the job.

Stopped by this place in Olinda and the vibe really got me &mdash; old building, artsy touches everywhere. I tried the arugula pizza with sun-dried tomatoes and honestly it was the one I kept going back to. Shrimp pizza was good too, but that arugula one hit different. Just a heads up, it can get a bit busy, but worth it.

Stopped by for a late afternoon coffee and a slice of cake. The place was pretty busy but I got a seat by the window. Cake was good, coffee was fine. Honestly, the portion was a bit small for what I paid. Like, I finished it in four bites. If you&#39;re just grabbing a quick bite it&#39;s okay, but don&#39;t come starving.

The piano music was a nice touch, really cozy inside. Grandma&#39;s Lobster was tasty, no complaints there. Service was friendly and made the whole thing easy.

Sleek spot but kinda cold. Felt like a tourist buffet. View&#39;s nice if you grab a seat early.

The dough here is the real deal. You can tell they make it in-house, light and with that proper chew. Had the margherita and it was spot on. One of the few spots in Porto de Galinhas that actually gets Italian pizza right. Just wish they had more seating, it got a bit cramped.

The picanha skewer was good, but the half-pizza was huge. Kids&#39; play area kept them busy, so we could actually eat in peace.

The bruschetta here was huge, almost a meal by itself. Ossobuco with risotto easily fed two of us. Fair price for what you get. Service was quick too, perfect for a lunch break.

Decent spot in Tamandar&eacute;. Had the fish in shrimp sauce &mdash; pretty good, and the portion was generous. Staff was friendly enough.

The food was tasty and the beach right there is gorgeous, but service was meh. Had to order at the counter and nobody checked on us. Still, the quiet vibe near the church makes it worth stopping by.

The pasta here is always solid, and the cold buffet is a nice little extra. Grabbed a quick bite with friends before shopping and it hit the spot. Not fancy, but you don&#39;t need that when you&#39;re just hanging out. Place gets busy around lunch though, so try to come a bit earlier if you can 😅

The Munganga plate hit the spot, prawns were really fresh. Big portion, three of us shared it no problem. Rian took care of us well, kept the water coming. Place was a bit warm inside but whatever. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something tasty without the fuss.

Came for the live music, stayed for the food. Got the grilled fish and it was cooked right, came out fast too. Service was friendly without hovering. Nice to see they don&#39;t force that service charge on you. Place was a bit loud with the band but that&#39;s expected. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area.
