The best cafeterias Bahia

In the pleasant Carmo district, in the heart of Salvador's historic center, artist Paulo Vaz has opened his studio as a meeting place for his friends. It's like stepping into an old-fashioned café, with an instant feeling of conviviality. The view of the bay from the terrace is magical. The smell of coffee wafts through the place. The menu offers light dishes: salads, sandwiches, quiches, pasta, soups... and plenty of coffees, teas and homemade juices. Friendly cats sleep on the chairs. A good sign!

As its name suggests, coffee and good food are inseparable from art here. This is the restaurant-tea room of the elegant Solar das Artes pousada. The menu is designed like a masterpiece. Dishes based on fresh produce and an enchanting setting. Great choice in the central square, especially in the evening. In the outdoor area, you're lulled by the sea breeze. It's very pleasant to have breakfast or dinner in this romantic setting, not far from the statue of the Victory of Samothrace.
