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 […]

Spanish Italian flavours in Salvador de Bahia: Restaurant Toro Tapas Bar (29. January 2016)
I ended up randomly at the Toro Tapas Bar and I must say, it was a good choice for dinner. If you are a bit early you get to have a seat on the small terrace with a view onto the ocean. The waiter welcomed us friendly and couldn’t tell us often enough that they […]
Incredibly inattentive service – a low-light: Restaurant Soho (29. January 2016)
It is a great thing when you are served by the head waiter, isn’t it? No, it isn’t! The menu was brought to the table rather quickly and once the choice was made, the head waiter approached us to take up the order. The beverages arrived within no time. And then nothing happened. For a […]
Club Lounge @ Sheraton da Bahia (28. January 2016)
The Club Lounge at the Sheraton da Bahia is located on the 12th floor and depending on which table you chose you actually get to see the ocean. The lounge is rather tiny, and funny enough, there is nobody checking if you have legitimate access or not but you can just walk right in without […]
An unexpectedly tasty meat experience: Restaurant El Quincho del Tio Querido (27. January 2016)
The “Morcillas” (25 ARS) as a starter are probably the best idea ever if you like blood sausages. They are extremely aromatic, savoury, tasty, just very yummy! I decided to give Argentinian meat yeat another try and went for the “Baby Beef Grille” (395 ARS) which was the upper part in the picture. And I […]
Great view onto the Iguazú Falls: Restaurant Garganta del Diablo @ Sheraton Iguazú (27. January 2016)
The most amazing part about the Restaurant Garganta del Diablo at the Sheraton Iguazú is the view. You can sit down and if you manage to get a table at the windows, you have a marvelous view of the Iguazú falls from the Argentinian side. But that is not the only good thing. The breakfast […]
