This is a great restaurant in Olinda, the atmosphere is nice and very child-friendly. It's kind of a "Parraxaxá" but the prices are really fair. I was in Olinda a couple of weeks and went there every Sunday.

This is a perfect restaurant to grab a sandwich or a salad. Good variety and flavors, good service. Prices cheap for food quality. They also have a shop with crafts and gifts from Olinda.

A bad time to be in Olinda is on Sunday and Monday evenings, when almost all restaurants are closed. An exception is the 'Olinda Art&Grill', which is open on Monday evenings and on Sundays has a closing hour between 7.30-8pm. So on both these evenings I went there for dinner (almost had to).Close to the central Praça da Sé with the tapioca food stalls, this restaurant, decorated on all the walls with paintings of different quality and various artsy items, has outdoor and indoor seating with great views over old Olinda and all the way out to the skyscrapers of Recife.Around lunch time this restaurant is packed with day trippers, in the evenings though usually quite empty. I came here twice. On a Sunday evening they started to clean up the place, before I had finished my dinner. Twice I had a caiprinha here before dinner. Once it was the strongest I ever got in Brazil, the next day it was like a very watery long drink.They have separate Portuguese and English menu cards, both leatherbound. My dinner selection had been once a 'Casquinha de Caranguejo' (stuffed crab shell) and 'Agulha Branca Frita' (fried white needlefish) together with 'Salada Verde pequeña' (a small green salad). The other evening I had again a salad plus 'Camarão ao alho e óleo'. It was all quite good.There are small bottles (375ml) of white and red wine avaliable (from Chile). Once I tried a local dessert, not on the menu card, but recommended to me by the waiter, a 'Cocada de Forno' (a coconut sweet from the oven) served with ice cream and lime wedges. It was okay, but I could hardly taste the coconut.Service is professional, but on the second visit there was a friendlier waiter. It is possible to pay with credit card.

Went there for dinner. We arrived early (around 8h pm) in order to have a table on the terrace. Great views form there, very romantic candlelight dinner : small advice...: do not forget to have a lamp - maybe on your phone - to be able to read the menu ;-) You will be hosted in the middle of a luxurious garden. It is really a little gem ! Note that finding the place is not that easy but your travel continue when you arrive at the entrance as you'll have to take a small funicular. It makes the journey fantastic which will be confirmed by the plates, nice, hearty, tasty. Price are regular for a good restaurant in Olinda. Really worth it !...And do not forget your mosquito repellent...

Casa de Noca is a simple restaurant, in rustic surroundings. The only dish is manioc with dried meat and "coalho" cheese. The only variety is the amount, depending on the number of people.The food is delicious as well. But the prices are a bit expensive for the type of food. The service is reasonable. Open every day from 11am to 10pm.
