Restaurante Encantos da Maré (Bonfim)

The 24 Best Restaurants in Salvador, Brazil | Eater

"Right behind the iconic Bonfim Church, this seafood-focused restaurant sports one of the most beautiful views of Todos os Santos Bay. Chef Deliene Mota offers her take on surf and turf: mashed cassava topped with cheese curd gratin, layered with shrimp cooked in cream on one side and sun-dried beef cooked in clarified butter and onions on the other. If you’re looking for a lighter meal, try the shrimp in tapioca batter or the broiled seafood platter (with lobster, octopus, squid, shrimp, and more). Mota’s plantain stew is great for vegetarians. In 2022, the team opened a new branch in the Pedra Furada area, not far from the original venue." - Rafael Tonon
