Recife 🇧🇷 Seafood restaurant | Eating shrimp is the eternal theme

🏠 Entre Amigos Praia 🗺️ Av. Boa Viagem, 760 - Boa Viagem, Recife - PE, 51011-000 🌧️ A Rainy Seafood Quest in Recife Touching down in Recife, my taxi driver swore by local seafood: "Fruto do mar is a must!" So I picked the closest beachfront joint—5 mins from my hotel—ready for a coastal feast. Spoiler: Mother Nature had other plans. ❄️ When Aircon Meets Rainy Chills Weather Whiplash: Came from São Paulo’s long sleeves to Recife’s rare rainstorm. Even worse? The restaurant’s AC was colder than the rainy outdoors 🥶. Alfresco by Default: Opted for outdoor seating to escape the Arctic interior, only to shiver through my meal. Romantic beach vibes? More like "survival mode" vibes 🌧️. 🦐 The Great Miscommunication Feast Language Barrier: Northeastern Portuguese vs. São Paulo slang = total confusion. I wanted seafood, ended up with... shrimp pasta? 🤷‍♀️ What Arrived: Shrimp 意面: 6 huge fried shrimp tails with a boozy honey dip (think rum + sticky sweetness). Portion was enough for two—hello, leftovers! Flavor Verdict: Not bad, but the honey sauce felt more like a dessert dip. 💸 Price vs. Reality Check 156 R$ per person: Steep for: A basic shrimp dish (no ocean views thanks to the rain) Service that involved lots of hand gestures (and zero English) Skip If: You’re craving authentic local seafood or expecting friendly service. 🌟 Silver Linings (Kinda) Not a Total Flop: Food was edible, just not worth the price tag. Lesson Learned: Next time, ask the hotel to book a seafood spot and translate the menu. #RecifeEats #BrazilianSeafood #TravelFails #RainyDayDining #BoaViagem
