Parraxaxá

A buffet restaurant in Boa Viagem dedicated to the food of the Pernambuco sertão — the dry interior. Long tables of regional dishes: carne de sol, pirão, baião de dois, macaxeira, queijo coalho, and a wall of regional cheeses and sweets.

The atmosphere leans toward kitsch — staff in straw hats, accordion music — but the cooking is good, the prices are reasonable, and it is the easiest way to get an overview of northeast Brazilian cuisine in one meal. Best at lunch.
