4.6 / 5.0(1,762 reviews)

Tapas in Bahia? Had to try it. I was impressed! Service was friendly and attentive. Tapas were good-sized portions. Only needed two tapas for a meal for two people. The flavor of the food was excellent! The Sangria was fresh! I can't describe the many items decorating the restaurant. Eclectic. You have to see it! Best prawns I've had in a long while. The flavours in the octopus/prawn stew were so rich and complex we had every last drop. Definitely recommend giving it a go. We don't speak much Portuguese so we just asked the waiter to feed us the best dishes and he certainly did. Also, the summer cocktails go down pretty easy😉 Lovely place to dine with the locals! I’ve been in mine, took me here and, the music and vibes were excellent and the food was pretty good, too. Definitely recommend the tuna tartare, it comes in a heart shape!

It was Saturday night so the restaurant was really busy, we had to wait for thirty minutes to get the table. However the food was fantastic! Especially Octopus was my favorite!It was very soft and loved the combination with the bread and tomato salsa!!! They offered us a little shot of Pumpkin soup was really tasty too! We had one of the great meals there!

Delicious food and really nice pricing. I was happy because they had a menu in English, which I found is extremely rare in Salvador. The wine selection was nice and the overall aesthetic was really cool. Difficult parking.
