Great looking but not that tasty: Restaurante Passeio da Vitória @ Sheraton de Bahia (2. February 2016)

The evening buffet (65.00 BRL) did look really promising but it only fulfilled its optical promise to some degree. The selection of salads was good … … and the variety was nice so you would actually be able to make yourself a decent and tasty salad … … with lots of leaf salad but also […]

Performance does not match the ranking: Restaurant Cuco Bistrô (2. February 2016)

Performance does not match the ranking: Restaurant Cuco Bistrô (2. February 2016)

The Cuco Bistrô is number 4 of the city on TripAdvisor. And while the price performance ratio is outstanding, I do not entirely get why. I went for the menu (49.90 BRL) and chose “atum curado com acaçá defumado e crocante de arroz vermelho (atum curado em azeite de oliva com acaçá salgado de milho […]

Bahian food – with an African flavour: Restaurant Casa de Tereza (1. February 2016)

You can find authentic Brazilian food with a strong African influence at the Casa de Tereza. I went for the “Lascas de fumeiro em caramelo de laranja e cebolada con pão de case (slivers of smoked meat in orange caramel with onion and homemade bread)” (45.00 BRL) which was a superb start. The caramelized onions […]

Have you ever tried Biribiri or Jenipapo?: Sorveteria da Ribeira (1. February 2016)

Have you ever tried Biribiri or Jenipapo?: Sorveteria da Ribeira (1. February 2016)

When you do the bus tour of Salvador, one stop includes the port of Ribeira, or more precisely, actually the “Sorveteria da Ribeira” and while the place isn’t too appealing, the selection of different ice cream flavours is outstanding. Among the regular ones like vanilla, you can also find quite exotic flavours. I went for […]

Lovely place but dishes do not live up to the expectations: Restaurant Amado (31. January 2016)

Lovely place but dishes do not live up to the expectations: Restaurant Amado (31. January 2016)

Doing some restaurant research, the Amado belongs to the best restaurants in town and while having tried quite a few by then, I was a bit skeptical about the quality of Amado. But I was positively surprised. The place looks not appealing from the outside but the picture definitely changes once you are inside. However, […]

Amazing harbour view – average dishes: Restaurant Lafayette (30. January 2016)

The “Casquinha Classica de Siri, 250g” (24.00 BRL) was one of these dishes I had no clue about what I was ordering and while I did not know what to expect, I did not expect what I got. It was basically some kind of fish stew accompanied by their typical Brazilian flour. Besides not really […]

Great seafood at the waterfront: Restaurant Pereira (30. January 2016)

The “Ceviche de frutos do mar (camarões, peixe branco, salmão, polvo, mexilhões, lulas e caju marinados em sangre de tigre, servidos com cesta de pão)” (55.00 BRL) was rich in flavour and had a lovely taste which was improved by the fruit which was added to the ceviche. The “Picolé de Salmão (120g de filé […]
