Since 1980, Recanto Lusitano is the place to go in Recife to taste the marvelous portuguese cousine.Their staff is very dedicated, and the place is very pleasant to stay (always playing traditional portuguese songs).The speciality is obviously the many ways you can try Cod Fish, or "Bacalhau" as it's called in portuguese.As entrance try fried "Alheiras" (a type of portuguese sausage that is served with bread and lemon). A lighter option would be a soup called "Caldo Verde".Main course must be any type of Cod Fish, try "Bacalhau às Natas", a type of Cod fish soufflé with smashed potatoes and cheese. Rice also comes as a side dish with it. The portion will be enough for three people.Put a lot of olive oil on and eat as much as you can because you'll never forget the flavour.To drink, a good white wine from Alentejo is perfect.

This restaurant is situated right on the orla. You can look out and enjoy the lovely ocean breeze. Service was helpful and attentive. We chose two seafood appetizers that were excellently prepared and had great attention to detail. The octopus was finely sliced and served simply and elegantly. The shrimp panelada? had great slow cooked flavors. Apps were served with crispy baguette slices. Just wonderful. We will return again without a doubt.

Tio Armenio is the sort of restaurant we like to go on Sundays with our family or friends. Good food at reasonable prices, very good service and excellent locations, since it is located at both of our main shopping malls.

We ate lunch here after a visit to the "Marco Zero" and the surrounding quarters which are pretty run down. Consequently, our surprise was great when we found the Leite in this neighborhood. Waiters in white jackets and the piano man playing some romantic Latin tunes. The menu continued in this mode by offering dishes named after Gilberto Freyre and Burle Marx. I had the plate with beef named after Gilberto Freyre and my wife had the seafood plate according to Burle Marx. Both were delicious.
