Restaurants in Salvador

The streets of Salvador are a gastronomic delight, with stalls in São Joaquim, Santa Barbara and São Miguel markets selling local, traditional food. The Sete Portas Market which was inaugurated in the 1940s has been getting a stream of visitors since then to eat the famous mocotós sold there on Fridays. Walk into any restaurant in Mercado Modelo and order the delicious sarapatel, a stew accompanying an array of fried dishes. In Salvador, along the beaches are stalls selling fresh sea food, much of which is prepared in palm tree oil. Also, if you're really into gastronomy, don't forget to choose your Salvador hotel or pousada carefully, because many of them serve excellent meals in their unique restaurants.

In Salvador you will find restaurants offering superb local cuisine, as well as a large variety of international cuisines and dishes from the northern region of Brazil and Minas Gerais.
