The very best part of this experience was the food itself..superb. We started with a soft shell crab empanada which really wasn't an empanada but was excellent. Do not miss the tropical mixta with lobster, octopus, shrimp and fruits. An amazing authentic dish..one portion easily serves two people. The atmosphere is very pleasant, we sat on the upper deck "in... More

The atmosphere is rustic but perfect (we've had lunch under the shadow of a big "jabuticaba"s tree which was refreshing in that hot day. The dishes were just amazing (we've had "casquinha de siri", which is an apetizer that is made with crab, and also we've ordered the "casquinha" made with octopus and shrimp: they were delicious). The special "muquecas"... More

I have never tasted any dish so authentic and delicious based on grilled fruits and seafood (octopus, lobster, shrimp, and even fish) as in Tropical Misto. Go for this option. The place is a little far from city center, but worth the visit. The proprietor is very friendly and is always walking among the clients. Very nice atmosphere, specially for... More

Dont ask me what I had because it was all suggested and chosen by my guest, a local. All I know is that every dish was amazing. There were some soft shell crabs and the main course was Calapolvo - an out of this world stew of lobster and octopus but many more taster dishes in order to sample the... More

The food is absolutely delicious, with an arty touch of the chef. Therefore some dishes may be a bit different from their traditional versions. It´s a busy upscale family eatery. Not very suitable for romantic encounters. The service could be a bit more attentive.

If you're looking to savour the best of Bahia's culinary excellence, this is the place to go. It serves some of the best 'Moquecas' and natural fruit juices I've ever had the pleasure of trying. All their natural juices are picked from the Chef's garden, just below the restaurant. The highlight of the experience is when you are served a... More

Absolutely perfect for a Saturday afternoon lunch. The best "Bahia's food" and why not Brazilian Food at a special location. Although a bit far from downtown, it is 100% worth to go. And beprepare to go back home with some packs of fruits grown at it own backyard.

Every appetizer, dish and cocktail I tried made me discover new flavours and I loved every single bite. If you're into caipirinha you have to try some here, they have them with fruit you don't get anywhere else and it's totally worth trying. At the end of the meal we got a huge basket full of fruit to try and... More
