The 24 Best Restaurants in Salvador, Brazil | Eater
"Salvador’s average temperature hovers around 82 degrees; beat the heat with a jar of sangria at this little slice of Spain, located on a corner in the Rio Vermelho neighborhood, while nibbling on some pintxos and tapas. Spanish chef Jose Morchon works with local chef Juli Holler to serve snacks with a Mediterranean accent: beef with duck mousse and green grapes, quail egg with chorizo and jamón, and other creative combinations served on slices of bread. Various tortillas (chorizo and bell pepper, or shrimp and leeks) fill out the menu, which also includes seafood dishes and paellas." - Rafael Tonon
We went here after reading the reviews. They were very accommodating. There was a mixed bag in terms of service and food. The steak was tough, the paella and the prawns were outstanding. The chorizo was a tiny portion. The jaremo ham was delicious and a good portion. We ended the meal with some churros, which were chewy and not delicious. They were really busy and flustered. They did have a menu in English which was fantastic. I would recommend.

Best prawns I've had in a long while. The flavours in the octopus/prawn stew were so rich and complex we had every last drop. Definitely recommend giving it a go.
We don't speak much Portuguese so we just asked the waiter to feed us the best dishes and he certainly did.
Also, the summer cocktails go down pretty easy😉

Tapas in Bahia? Had to try it. I was impressed! Service was friendly and attentive. Tapas were good-sized portions. Only needed two tapas for a meal for two people. The flavor of the food was excellent! The Sangria was fresh! I can't describe the many items decorating the restaurant. Eclectic. You have to see it!

Very bad experience at this restaurant! The food was ridiculous bad, the drinks terrible! We have to wait for over a hour for our food and drinks! The food was the worst one that we had in Salvador! We left this restaurant in Rio Vermelho and we went to eat at the street, looking for anything to eat because was very late. We left la Taperia very hungry! We will never come back to this place again. The only thing positive was the waitresses, they were very polite.

It was Saturday night so the restaurant was really busy, we had to wait for thirty minutes to get the table.
However the food was fantastic!
Especially Octopus was my favorite!It was very soft and loved the combination with the bread and tomato salsa!!!
They offered us a little shot of Pumpkin soup was really tasty too!
We had one of the great meals there!

Very good place for tapas, we got papas bravas, fillet mignon tabla ibérica with cheeses, jamón, & Chorizo. Everything was very good. I got a Negroni and a tinto de verano for drinks and my friend got a mojito tropical. The bill was around R$190. The price is a bit expensive.
