"Nara Amaral opened Di Janela to serve her close friends, but word got around and the casual restaurant became an immediate hit. Located close to the famous Pelourinho, on a cobbled street surrounded by aging homes, the restaurant serves well-crafted snacks like arancini Baiano (rice fritters stuffed with shrimp and fried in palm oil) and hearty dishes like Amaral’s indispensable octopus rice. Sidewalk tables are always busy, so get there early." - Rafael Tonon
