Recife may be an easy place to find steak, but it's a hard place to find burgers! Other than the uninteresting dependability of Outback or The Fifties (both in Riomar Mall), there really is no other place in town to get a good burger... except Mooo Burger. I eat here about once a month, with or without the kids. The burgers are not typical American fare, but rather original and varied, with different kinds of cheeses, buns, and meats. VEGETARIANS, DON'T BE DECEIVED BY THE NAME. Mooo Burger also has great salads and other vegetarian options, including fantastic onion rings (another hard-to-find item in Recife). Note - Owner Yuri opened the restaurant in 2012 with the help of his mother and the guidance of a Canada/U.S.-trained chef. Mooo Burger was the realization of his dream, and you can see the difference in the quality of the decor and presentation of the meal. Yuri lived in the U.S., so don't forget to say Hi.
9. Underground Sports Bar

Too loud, too young, too crowded. And despite it's name, there isn't anything particularly British about this bar. The service is spotty and the food is very hit-or-miss, depending on who's in the kitchen. On the plus side, they do have a pool table (hard to find in Recife), and plenty of TVs for watching sports. For my part, I've been twice and will endeavor not to return. But if you're 25, go for it. You might meet someone nice / attractive / younger than you are.

Ilha Sertaneja has brought the northeastern backlands down to the capital city, with traditional dishes that include the best sun-dried beef in town and a delicious goat , all with excellent service and pleasant surroundings.

We ate two nights in a row as it was near our hotel. We had the steaks, chicken parmigano, empandas, and sandwiches which were all great. One thing a plate can feed easy two to three people so beware. The service was good as we got served by the manager and had special attention. One person had the buffet and they said it was good too. I recommened this place if you want good food and huge quantities.

This bar has become a founding rock on the bar scene, but it's worth pointing out that central's food may not get the attention it deserves.Central is, by far, the best vegetarian option in Recife (look out for their veggie indian menu) and it showcases mediterraneam food. They may serve the only falafel in town, if you are suddenly craving for it.Fridays and saturday nights are overcrowdedwith locals and it may be hard to find a sitting place - althoughOi Andrea!Sua avaliação é de 2012. Esperamos ainda contar com a sua simpatia! ;-)Nossa resposta demorou,né? Mas sempre é hora pra agradecer por ter você como nossa cliente!

Goat meat is the specialty of this restaurant, and it comes in all variants: ribs, sausage, filets etc. With local cuisine side dishes. Great choices of wine, very friendly and effective service. The restaurant also serves sushi. The interior has a very nice ambience and the type of guests is mixed: people in their twenties, thirties, couples, groups, older peoples, families, also very good to eat out with colleagues or groups. All dressed up, but informal wear as well. It is obvious that people pick this restaurant to really go out, enjoy company and conversation, they dress up for it. good vibes at this place!Hello, how happy we were to be able to read your evaluation and all your recognition. Looking forward to your next visit !!

5. Barchef Mercado Gourmet

Reviewed By Adam M
This is a very prominent restaurant "compound" near the Apipucos area of Recife. There are three options once inside: a "pub"/dance area, a more formal Italian restaurant and a casual but upscale "market" area, which is where we ate. Patrons here are allowed to chose their wine from the gourmet market, and as long as the bottles are over a certain price (most are), there is no corking fee. There was a relatively wide selection of wine from around the world and at multiple price points. The market was very cool and had lots of gourmet options to purchase and take home as well. The food menu was broad - ranged from breakfast to sushi to quesadillas. We ordered the fruit, cheese and meat appetizer board, which was good, and the cheeseburger which was also good. Prices were upscale but reasonable, and while the food could take a while to be delivered the service was generally friendly and attentive. They also offer free wifi and valet parking is available. Overall would definitely go back.

Friday night crowded and with beatiful people. The octopus and shirmp in the fried garlic great, the service is good and fast. The only issue is that they almost don't have plate for one person, few choices far away from the top sellers of the house.Andre, We would like to thank you for your recommendation, we hope you more often in our restaurant.

This bar is amazing when it comes to location, food quality and a great variety of beer. However it closes waaay too early, even on Friday/Saturday - 1am and they close both the bar and the kitchen, not to mention they start to expell the customers by turning the tvs off, tidying things up and lowering the music. Price could be a little better too.
