Brazil 🇧🇷 | I’ll Cry If You Visit Recife & Skip This Crab Spot! 😭🦀

If there’s one must-eat restaurant in Recife, it’s Guaiamum Gigante—a local favorite for crab and seafood lovers! 🦀 The Star: BLUE CRAB (Guaiamum) Priced by size: Grande (Large): R$20 Gigante (XL): R$30 (worth the upgrade!) Traditional Pernambuco-style: Simmered with onions, cilantro, and local herbs—infusing the sweet crab meat with aromatic flavors. Texture: Similar to Chinese hairy crab, but meatier! Some roe, too. 🦀💛 🍽️ What I Ordered (Solo Feast!) 1️⃣ Coconut Octopus Stew (Pernambuco special!) – Creamy, fragrant, and SO tender. 2️⃣ Garlic Butter Shrimp – Fresh, juicy, and packed with flavor. 3️⃣ + Crab, obviously. 💡 Pro Tip: Many dishes have West African influences—especially that unreal octopus stew. 💰 Price Check ~R$150 per person (for a generous solo meal). Menu attached (last 2 pics)—plenty more to explore! 📍 Location: Guaiamum Gigante In Recife’s city center—easy to reach. Atmosphere: Lively, local, no-frills. Don’t leave Recife without trying this place! Your taste buds (and my heart) will thank you. ❤️ #Brazil #BrazilianFood #Foodie #SeafoodLover #CrabSeason #RecifeEats #TravelEats #EatLikeALocal #FoodHeaven
