Restaurante Parraxaxá Boa Viagem — Restaurant in Região Geográfica Imediata do Recife

Pretty good food! It's a buffet style but the setup is pretty different and it can seem confusing at first.

So when you first enter, they give you a card for each person and then you grab your own seats. At the buffet area you can pick out your food and after you're done you put it up on a scale on the counter and they'll scan your card, since the price is per weight. When you sit back down the server will take your drink order. When you're done eating you take your card to the cashier counter where they'll scan your card and tell you how much it is so you can pay. When you do so you'll get a card that indicates the proof of payment and you'll hand that to the guy standing outside the restaurant...

I read the reviews and came here. This place is nice but the food is absolutely terrible. Maybe it’s because I’ve had eaten at very good places before but this place was not it. The large coffee ordered was so small. Meat was dry, fish tastes like it was made last year. Everything just tastes like it was thrown in a microwave and brought out and served. I don’t talk bad about places but this was a terrible experience as far as the food went. Could have been a bad day in the kitchen but this is not acceptable. I don’t...

This is authentic Brazilian food in the northeastern style. There are tons of foods to choose from, and since it is buffet style you can sample as many things as you would like. It is not an "all you can eat for one price" like some North American buffets. You are charged by the weight of the items chosen, but when you convert reais to dollars, the cost is really cheap. I highly recommend it for a good experience of northeastern...
