I had the pleasure of eating at Yemanja tonight. The food was excellent, you have a bit of a wait for the muqueca but it is well worth it. The staff were attentive and helpful and the ambience gives you a feel for real Baiano culture. Overall a great restaurant.

I am living here with my girlfriend (Salvador native) and she has been coming here for years. In fact, I ate here many years ago as well. The muqueca de camarao is to die for. But, we went on a Sunday afternoonat about 1:30 and had a 20 minute wait. Ok. Not too bad. But the problem was that it... More

The place was recommended by a taxi driver when we arrived in Salvador. We were in the mood for Muqueca since it was the first time visiting Salvador. It was delicious!

It's one of the most traditional restaurants in Salvador, with great food and the service is also great. The bóbó de camarão is just superb and don't forget to eat the acarajé and the casquinha de siri!!!

The food is excellent and the service is fast and kind. Coare with other restaurants around the city, this is the best cost benefit.

One of the most visited restaurant of Salvador with great seafood, excelent service and very good "caipirinhas"

Absolutely delicious sample of typical Bahian cuisine. Wonderful Bobó de camarão and moqueca de camarão e caju. Staff very attentive, however we consider the place bit overpriced, perhaps due to so many good reviews earned :o) Give it a try if you are in Salvador and would like to enjoy local cuisine in original environment.
