Gato & Grão
Recife, Pernambuco
Gato & Grão is the first cat cafe in Recife, opened in November 2025 on Rua Quarenta e Oito in Aflitos, a residential neighbourhood in the city's north zone. The cafe and the cats are kept apart: food and drinks are served in the main room, and visitors pay a separate fee, charged by time in blocks from 15 minutes to an hour, to enter a cat room fitted out for the animals. The cats are rescues from the local group Cantinho Filó, and all are neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and tested for FIV and FeLV before they arrive. They are available for adoption, and the cafe has rehomed more than a hundred cats. The menu covers coffee drinks, milkshakes, croissants, crepes, burgers and desserts, with weekday two-for-one promotions on set items. Tables can be booked online, and the cafe is closed on Mondays.
