Bar do Brilhorzinho is an experience. Located at the beginning of a community, it is safe to get there, and you can easily find the bar in one of the alleys. It has few tables and many decorations. We ordered fish, since I am allergic to shrimp. The stewed fish is accompanied by rice and pirão. The service is very good!! Mr. Brilhozim was not there, but we were welcomed by his son who told us stories about the restaurant, including the visit of Luciano Hulk. It was a very interesting experience and I recommend it.

A relic of Recife. If it weren't for the price (it's very expensive for what it offers), I would definitely come back here many more times. Since I discovered it, I only come here when I'm bringing someone from out of town, because of the experience of the place, the unusual things, and Brilhozinho's conversation. The food is excellent, without a doubt, but it's very expensive. In theory, it's a place for tourists, but most don't even come here because it's really hidden. In the 90s and maybe until the mid-2000s, it still made sense to discover it, but nowadays it's hard to argue with the prices charged by the place. It's still a great place to introduce Recife locals who don't know Recife itself. Hi, Brilhozinho!

Mr. Brilhosinho is a caring and lively person. I tried the shrimp with fish sauce and rice, the pepper is delicious but it goes slowly Small space but very cozy for those who arrive there. …

It's definitely worth a visit. Mr. Brilhozinho is a waiter who, after being fired, started his own business and has since welcomed illustrious guests to his bar, such as Luciano Huck and others whom he makes a point of showing off. The decor is amazing, the conversation is good and the fish and shrimp are incredibly good.Enjoy!

Having lunch at Bar do Brilhozinho is an incredible experience! We were served by Mr. Brilhozinho, a very friendly and outgoing person. He told us how it all began. The decor is very different and creative. The food is delicious. Famous people have visited the place. Many foreign tourists have also had this experience.

The place is in a small, narrow alley with a high door frame to keep water out. Wheelchair users cannot enter, and if it rains there are several puddles of water at the entrance. The food was delicious, but the rice was cold, "it should have been heated up." There is no place to park. The owner is extra and talkative.

Simple place, but with an extravagant decoration that fills your eyes. There are so many objects hanging that it makes you travel back in time and to other places. There are old toys, household utensils and a wide variety of old drinks on display from various places and even from various countries. The menu is very simple, but those who try it will want to return as soon as possible to taste the other dishes. I had the opportunity to meet the owner, who is known by everyone as "Brilhozinho", who exudes great charisma with his customers.

A classic for the rude Recife munchies, it is not for mediocre tourists who are fans of a beachside restaurant trap. Brilhozinho boasts very popular and excellent dishes. It is located in the alleys of a small favela in Boa Viagem and if it seems strange to you, then you are out of luck. The price is not cheap and it is totally deserved. 10 out of 10.
