Upstairs from Bar Urca's popular snack stand you'll find an elegantly set dining room with memorable views across the bay. The seafood is first rate, with scrumptious caldeirada (seafood stew), moqueca (Bahian fish stew) and grilled octopus on the menu. Bar Urca's most famous dish is camarão na moranga: shrimp cooked in creamy sauce and served in a pumpkin (R$219 for two people).
