Camarada Camarão

Recife


Airy, bustling Camarada does shrimp in endlessly creative ways – think shrimp fondue, salads, marinated in beer and served in moquecas (stews) – but it’s also wildly popular for happy hour, when patrons flood the front deck with ice-cold draft beers in hand. The shrimp and lobster moqueca and bobó de camarão (shrimp in manioc sauce) are extraordinary.

If your appetite and budget are on the smaller side, come for the happy hour when some plates go for (R$40 to R$50) and there are R$5 chopes (draught beer).
