Yemanjá

Frommer's Review

One of the perennial contenders for best restaurant in Salvador, Yemanjá offers all the traditional Bahian dishes. The moqueca de pitu is particularly noteworthy; pitu is a sweet-tasting freshwater prawn not often found on menus. Those who can't stand the sight of another stew (it does happen after a few days) will be pleased to see some grilled fish and prawns on the menu. Dessert is a must here. The Bahian desserts laden with sugar, coconut, and egg yolks are superb, and the homemade ice cream is some of the best in town.
