Baiana do Acarajé

5.0 | FIVES ALL AROUND. I love that this was the recommendation of our Brazilian friend. a true local gem that we ended our time in BH with for dinner. It was my favourite meal of our time in BH. this Bahia traditional cuisine is so so tasty. our friend ordered for us the acaraje com camarao fresco and the seafood stew. I loved both of these meals so so much, and I could have had it all trip and been content. so tasty! they also have a selection of drinks - beer, caipirinha… it’s a spot you just chill and hang during dinner over a good meal and good conversation. very traditional and authentic. a must go!

One of the best Acarajes I tried in Belo Horizonte. The area nearby is also great, with lots of other bars, people, and sometimes steet performances.

Great spit,food is delicious,fast service with very sympathetic ladies dressed as a Baianas.the only missing factor is air conditioning..

I love that they have vegan acaraje! Really delicious and very friendly staff.

This restaurant was very busy on Saturday. I was by myself and they didn’t pay that much attention to me, I guess so! Food is ok but not close to the tradicional “acarajé “ from Bahia. The “Muqueca de camarão médio e lagosta” was tasty. Prices are fair and ubu juice was delicious!

Very authentic food, a must go for all the ones who want to try something more typical. The fish in its red sauce was delicious. However the famous starter with the bread-like thing was nos as good as what we expected.

Great place to have a moqueca or any other dish from Bahia. The service is great and it has outside seating. Not a fancy restaurant, but delicious food and great beer! It almost doesn't have any vegetarian option. This needs to be improved.

Excellent "pastel de angú" (fried corn flour dumpling).
