Restaurants cuisine du monde Salvador

You can't come to Salvador de Bahia without tasting the traditional acarajés, derived from African culinary traditions. Of course, not everyone likes this red bean fritter fried in palm oil or dendê. If you're curious, don't miss the Dinha stand on largo do Santana. You can usually spot the long queue in front of this stall, where ladies dressed in the traditional white Bahian costume are bustling about, derived from the traditional garb of the lands of the Gulf of Guinea from which their ancestors were uprooted.

Sorriso da Dada is a Salvador tradition. Now it's Dada's daughters who take charge of the restaurant in Pelourinho. The famous chef, a true legend in Salvador (she's on TV and billboards, a bit like choumicha in Morocco, for those in the know), runs her other restaurant, located in her former home (Sabores da Dada). Both are great places to discover Bahian cuisine. The food is deservedly renowned and the atmosphere assured, but get your wallets ready.

In the bohemian district of Rio Vermelho, the Casa de Tereza restaurant has been an institution for many years. Chef Tereza Paim has successfully met the challenge of offering an innovative cuisine that combines art, culture and gastronomy. Local artists are called upon to decorate the restaurant's various lounges, and Bahian culture and its African origins are duly honored. Whether it's a menu from the sea or from the land, everything is created with high-quality ingredients. A successful challenge to "sustainable" cuisine. Worth knowing.

Leila drew on the origins of Bahian food to create her restaurant. The result: African-influenced food and Baiano recôncavo. The air-conditioned main room is reminiscent of a candomblé terreiro. As for the food, lots of shrimp, seafood, peanuts and cashews form the basis of this gourmet cuisine, also inspired by dishes prepared in public markets. For the main course, the choice is between the seafood feijoada, a house specialty, theEfo (of African origin prepared with taioba, a green leaf full of vitamins), the coconut Mariene (Leila's creation), a real favorite of this place.

As its name suggests, Restaurant Takê has been honoring Japanese cuisine for almost a quarter of a century. With its sober decor and welcoming atmosphere, the menu features fine Japanese and international cuisine. Culinary innovation is the watchword of the men at the piano. An excellent sushi rodizio is offered to guests. Guests can choose to eat à la carte or try the tasting menu. Quality honored by numerous culinary magazines.

The Quatro Amici pizzeria is a cosy place in this lively and quiet area of Barra, a few meters from the Farol beach. It is a pizzeria with a chic restaurant service (valet parking at the entrance). The façade and the interior show a real aesthetic research. The alternation of bricks, which gives a vintage aspect, with the wood of the ceiling and the bright white walls, gives a cosy and pleasant aspect. The pizzas and Italian dishes are of good quality. The food and wine lists are rich and of high quality.
