The 5+ bars/restaurants between the Church Rectory and the army barracks are famous for their mussels (lambreta) as well as other typical Salvador and northeast dishes (eg. Moqueca, carne do sol, escondidinho etc), the restaurant/bar Koisa Nossa on the corner is famed as having Salvador’s best “empada” (pastry with savory filling) and all (of course) serve excellent caipirinhas/caipirosaks and ice cold beer. These bars/restaurants are famous for being the post-football match bars so worth trying to see a match during your stay and enjoy the bar-restaurant atmosphere after (see below about the football matches) • Available for short term and long term rent, fully furnished. • Rental direct from Australian-Bahian couple owners; English, Portuguese and Spanish spoken (as well as Swahili); plenty of free tips on how to experience the best of Bahian culture, cuisine, music, beaches and surf; eg. live jazz at sunset at the restored customs house overlooking Bahia de Todos os Santos, Salvador’s best ice cream on the old seafront at Ribeira, or watching the ‘gente bonita’ (beautiful people) and tackling a great surf break at a classic beach bar on the northside of the city, and – of course – all the best live music events and festivals for which the city is renowned. • Dave has worked and lived in almost all countries across Latin American countries and so has plenty of good tips for your Latin America continental adventure (as well as many other countries in Africa and Asia) • Note, not very suitable for young children (less than 5 years old)
