Everything is very tasty 😋😋😋

I've been a customer for a long time and have never been disappointed: the dishes, delicious, with carefully selected ingredients, arrive at the table at the right temperature. It has an interesting wine list, and the service is fast and attentive. The only drawback is that, because it's a small place, it can get a bit noisy at times.

I ordered the Monte Cristo salmon, served with leek risotto. The risotto was tasty, although it was overcooked. But the salmon was awful, extremely overcooked, it seemed to have been deep fried instead of grilled. The worst salmon I have ever eaten, it was impossible to eat the whole fish, the entire outside was tough and tasted like it had been fried. My two-star rating is only for the pleasant place and the friendliness of the waiters. The space is small and the air conditioning needs to be better regulated, it was freezing.

Good food, attentive service. The dishes are very well served, however, the prices are quite high.

Good service. Bad food, and the shrimp gnocchi came with the shrimp not cleaned, and I had to cut off the tails because you can't eat shrimp shells, right?

Best tractor in Recife.
