You find this little place on the main street of Barra that leads to Pelourinho. It only has a couple of tables and people from the beach or passersby usually come for the bowl of tasty dish from the Amazon region.
As far as I know, this is the only place in Salvador where you can taste the culinary delights from the northern state of Para, which I found the most delicious (and unusual) in the whole country. They get the ingredients for the dishes from Ilha de Marajo. Since I was just coming from this beautiful island, I was happy to talk to the friendly owner about her native land.
It's the most famous acai spot of Salvador. You can get it in a bowl of different size. They also have guarana and juice, ice cream made from variety of fruits of the Amazon, like acai, cupuacu (certainly my favourite!), bacuri and muruci. If you are lucky, you can also get cupuacu cake and this is very yummy too! From the main dishes they offer tacaca (the absolute winner!!) and manicoba.
I don't need to mention that I took every opportunity to visit this place:) Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: Avenida Sete de SetembroDirections: Barra, across the street from Porto da Barra beach

Cool, colorful and funky atmosphere, Sorriso da Dada exists in an old house in the heart of Pelourinho...
There are individual little rooms that create a cozy/warm atmosphere... Tim and I decided that we were sat in the "Gringo" room- back in the very back... Cool room though, with a big mural of Dada herself with that famous smile!
The service was good enough... The menu featured traditional Bahian offerings.
Let's see, Tim had chicken in a banana cream sauce... was quite nice and tasty!
And yes, I had moqueca... see my general tip for the recipe!
The portions were pretty huge, we couldn't finish them.
We drank caipirinhas of course... they were strong as heck here. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: US$21-30 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: Rua Frei Vicente, 5Phone: (71) 3321-9642

Named after literature written by the Brazilian Hilda Histh, about a character, Maria Mata Mouro felt pleasure in what she ate. (I think I've got this right, correct me if I'm wrong!) This place is a darling little gem in the heart of Pelourinho... the atmosphere is charming and quaint, the back garden seating area is lush and romantic, the service is attentive but not overbearing... we had a lovely dinner here!
The menu is heavily influenced by Italian cuisine but not entirely...
Ask for the table by the trickling fountain in the back.
We had prosecco here... several bottles!
The couvert was deeeelicious.... great breads, flat breads & dips.
We had the matarmouro salad & Carpaccio to start- both were presented well and tasted great.
I had Penne ao Pesto for dinner (the ONLY night I didn't have a moqueca of some sort!!!) and Tim had the Burgundy Filet with risotto. We were impressed with both.
Why is it we NEVER have room for dessert when the offerings sound soo incredibly good!??!?!

It has been considered the best ice cream in the city for more than 70 years. People come even from Itapoa to another point of the city to taste a great variety of flavours, from nuts and chocolate to all imaginable fruits from the Amazon region. They have a reputation for the ice cream being made from natural fruit.
A beautiful view of the sea of Ribeira and the low price bring the visitors back. About 800 people come daily on weekends.
It's open daily from 10am to 10:30pm.
They offer 52 sorts of ice creams and a lot of them launched themselves. Some of their specialities are the flavours of mangaba, jaca, carambola and tapioca.
My favourites were tapioca and cupuacu. Ah, yummy!!! Theme: Ice CreamPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: Largo da Ribeira, 87, RibeiraPhone: 71 3316 5451Directions: the end of Ribeira bus line

SENAC is a culinary school from what I understand, their restaurant is buffet style. I think it's a good place to eat when you first arrive in Salvador as each dish is labeled in both Porteguese and English. This way you get a feel for the future culinary offerings you're about to enjoy throughout the rest of your stay. I say future because the food here was by no means outstanding... look elsewhere for outstanding. But I guess the price is right for an all-you-can eat buffet. And the dining room is open and inviting... Service is good.
Let's see, I had coconut rice, coconut infused and pureed beans, squid and fish moqueca and various local vegetables...
Make sure you try a little bit of each and every dessert... there are so many delicious things you can do with coconut, I had no idea!
The cost was 24 reals per person, excluding beverages.

Famous for its traditional and delicious Bahian cuisine... Charming decor (A lovely mural of the sea decorates the back wall; the side wall features broken china pieces set in stone for unique effect), servers in typical Bahian dress of white dresses and headresses and a lively and bustling atmosphere, located along the beach.
Be sure to peruse the dessert cart overflowing with delectable Bahian desserts of coconut and such.
We began with Acarajé... fried cakes of beands, onions, dende oil and shrimp with a typical pureed yuca-type sauce.
Tim and I shared scrumptuous moqueca de pitu, a sweet-tasting freshwater prawn in the traditional coconut, garlic, onion, parsley, pepper and tomato stew.
Then, for dessert Ninon convinced me to try this dessert of sweet curtled milk, not as bad as it sounds! :-) Leave a Comment

This pizza joint in Barra near the lighthouse is located in a nice old house that has been transformed into a pizzeria. The menu had at least 40 different kinds of pizza and the service was prompt and attentive. I ate downstairs, but there is also an upstairs with a patio. The kitchen is open so you can watch them putting your pizza into one of the ovens and smell the cheese melting while you wait starving.
I ordered a Broccoli and Garlic pie and drank an Antarctica chopp. The pizza was better than I expected and the mere fact that they have so many great choices on the menu, makes this place worth a try.
