Restaurants cuisine du monde Bahia

For over 15 years, under the direction of Chef Micky, the Recanto do Sossego has been a fine Porto Seguro restaurant, also known as the "Barraca de praia Recanto do Sossego", with an Italian-Brazilian inspiration. You can eat on the beach or on the restaurant's pleasant veranda. Recanto do Sossego offers varied, high-quality international cuisine right on the seafront, on the superb Coroa Vermelha beach. Seafood spaghetti, badejo (fish) with maracujà sauce, sea salad, pizzas... A must-try.

Pelourinho is full of great places to eat. The Maria Mata Mouro restaurant is a place to discover, an oasis in a busy city center. This restaurant, located in the heart of the Pelourinho, enjoys an excellent reputation that is well deserved. With its inventive, traditional cuisine and mouth-watering dessert cart, it offers a very pleasant setting (in an old building, tastefully decorated and with a pretty little patio ideal for marriage proposals). An excellent address for gourmets, who will be welcomed by multilingual staff. Live music in the evening.

You can't go to Salvador without tasting its acarajés, one of the most emblematic specialties. The "Cira" offers one of the most traditional and famous acarajés of the city. The Bahian Cira has almost 50 years of experience in the preparation of local delicacies. Today, a team of 35 people help her prepare the 5,000 acarajés sold each month. Given the success, her daughter and granddaughter have opened other kiosks, one in Rio Vermelho, undoubtedly the best known, with its queue at weekends, and the other in Lauro Freitas.

One of the city's most interesting addresses is housed in an old colonial defense building with a majestic entrance. This is the Senac Hotel School, and service is provided by the students of this school, which is very important in Brazil, as it trains many cooks throughout the country. So you can enjoy succulent regional dishes. The large buffet is certainly the best option for tasting Bahian specialities, as it is made up of around 40 typical dishes and you can eat as much as you like. Live entertainment on certain evenings.

A portinha" restaurants are now present in all three tourist towns in southern Bahia, Porto Seguro, Arraia d'ajuda and Trancoso. The Abrasel guide named this group and its Arraial d'ajuda restaurant Brazil's "best kilo" in 2018. The restaurant boasts traditional Bahian home cooking. There are over 150 options on offer from Tuesday to Sunday, including excellent desserts. A varied buffet by the kilo and à la carte dishes in the evening. The large wood-fired stove maintains a traditional feel. Live music some evenings.

All honour to all! Sabor da Vila was one of the first restaurants to open in Praia do Forte. Chef Alex Souza offers local cuisine with the famous moqueca. The taste is certainly on the plate, but the aesthetics of the dishes are also a pure pleasure. Coconuts and pineapples serve as plates, and seafood is given pride of place in dishes that are both simple and beautifully crafted, all hallmarks of this piano master. The tables of regulars and the delighted looks on the faces of those who are just discovering the restaurant are unmistakable!

Another address not to be missed in Lençois. The "conzinha aberta" offers a good and varied cuisine with inventive recipes of Italian and Thai dishes. The chef is a culinary author-creator who never stops innovating, as with his "spaghetti of shrimps and cocoa". The dishes are prepared in front of the customers. But the term slow does not apply to the pace of the restaurant, which works according to the localvore philosophy, valuing local ingredients. A policy of sustainability is guaranteed in the operation of the establishment.

Naia the Bahianese fell in love with this place and wanted to merge her passions here, the Bahianese cuisine and the village of Barra Grande. She was right to do so. At the beginning, the establishment was a simple and rustic bar and restaurant, but over the years, La Tapera has become the most refined restaurant in Barra Grande. The dishes are prepared with all of Naia's "Bahian cooking science" and her love for local seafood ingredients. It has that little extra soul. Quite good value for money.

A great classic of French gastronomy in Salvador. "Monsieur Bernard" Goethals set foot in Bahia in 1963 and since then, this very good restaurant has delighted gourmets. Today, another French chef, Laurent Rezette, is at the piano and offers the classics of French cuisine to Soteropolitans. Lamb with port is one of the chef's specialties, and he also prepares dishes mixing French cuisine with local ingredients. The quality remains impeccable and the restaurant is a reference in Salvador.

The Cuco Bistrô restaurant has been a real success for 10 years and is always full. Just a stone's throw from the São Francisco church, Cuco Bistrô serves fine regional cuisine. The menu features grilled quail with rice, farofa of bananas and aipim purée, or a delicious fillet of beef with red wine sauce. Try the delicious coffee caipirinha. The restaurant's Nordeste-themed decor blends with a cheerful atmosphere. The welcome is warm. An excellent address in Salvador.

Well, actually, not one, but several restaurants offer their services at the foot of the lighthouse in the eponymous Barra district. It's not necessarily sophisticated cuisine, but you can eat and drink in a pleasant seaside setting, cooler on hot Bahian summer days. Bahian specialties, croque-monsieur, salads, beef or chicken strogonoff or more simply fruit juice, cold beer or caipirinha, you can drop in for lunch or dinner. The place is an interesting alternative to the pelourinho.

A restaurant by the kilo to get to know. The many dishes on offer are of good quality... and there's something for everyone. The "fingers food" is rather classic (cod croquettes, small hamburgers, curry sausages, cheese croquettes), but always tasty. The choice of salads and main courses is admittedly limited, as are the desserts, but they don't disappoint - quite the contrary. Dishes and drinks can be ordered. A good address.

In the heart of the Pelourinho, the Boteco do Pelourinho offers the classic dishes of the many other Pelourinho restaurants, but eating and/or savoring a caipirinha or a fruit juice while admiring the Sao Francisco church, Salvador's architectural jewel, inevitably adds another dimension to these pleasurable menus. Under the yellow umbrellas, you can try acarajés, moqueca and carne do sol nordestine. There are a few pleasant tables inside if you want to escape the hustle and bustle. Simple and very local. Worth knowing.

Sabor da Serra is an appellation clearly suited to the establishment's services, as the dishes are bursting with flavor and finesse. Nordestin risotto, zucchini fritters with gorgonzola and sweet-and-sour passion fruit sauce are just a few examples from an endless list of dishes to try. Vegetarians and vegans are not forgotten, with these surprisingly tasty cocoa and vegan meat fettuccini, for example. The dishes are generously served and the welcome is extremely friendly and professional!

This restaurant in the Casa do Amarelindo hotel is as good as the place that houses it. The menu offers a fusion cuisine subtly combining Bahian and European cuisine in two variants, a "restaurant" menu and a "gourmet" menu of 3 courses for 2 people. Fans of Bahian dishes will enjoy excellent moquecas but world cuisine is not left out. The black rice risotto is divine, as is the beef bourguignon. Those who are hesitant can try the moqueca risotto. For those who are a little hungry, there are good petiscos.

For once, we're forgetting Afro-Bahian culinary traditions for a closer look at the Mediterranean shores of the Costa Brava. La Taperia, as its name suggests, is a restaurant that honors tapas (including Basque pintxos). The art of service of our Iberian neighbors is not neglected. The long tapas menu certainly makes it difficult to choose, but in the end, you can get lost without risk, as we found everything worthy of interest. Of course, there are also traditional Spanish dishes and sangria. In short, a must in Salvador.

Just a 10-minute walk from the center, at the foot of the theater climb, Papoularia Culinaria Artesanal is a wonderful discovery. In a pleasantly rustic and comfortable setting, in addition to seafood, fish and grilled meats, you'll find good vegetarian and vegan dishes. Everything is fresh, healthy and truly artisanal, prepared on site. Not many tables...but that's exactly what makes it so charming. The quality of service and cuisine is beyond reproach. A must-try!

Maritaca is one of the best restaurants in the small village of Trancoso. This rustic restaurant, with its white adobe walls and "straw hut" style, has become a classic for its varied, tasty dishes. Fish, shrimps, meats, but also salads, risottos, pizzas and a wide variety of desserts, including the magical goiabada soufflé, the house specialty. This is one of the most complete and pleasant restaurants in the region, and the bill inevitably reflects this! There's now also an "emporio", a grocery store.

Excellent wood fire pizzas in a family atmosphere.

Good value for money.
