Oficina do Sabor means flavour workshop which gives a clue to the experience awaiting you. A place to savour the cuisine based on local fresh ingredients and herbs.

This iconic restaurant is famous for its chef's, Cesar Santos, mix of local produce with contemporary ingredients. His signature dishes are cooked in a pumpkin and the menu focuses on seafood - often copied, rarely equalled in its 19 years of existence in Olinda's historical Old town!

Oficina do Sabor is part of the Boa Lembrança restaurant network http://boalembranca.com.br, which offers a chance to choose special dishes served on a painted plate, which you get to take home after your meal.

Try the caipirfrutas, tropical fruit cocktails made with Cachaca, the local sugar-cane spirit, and fresh tropical fruits and for a starter, the Mix do Chef is an inspiring way to begin the gourmet feast.

Remember most main courses are enough for two hungry adults.
