This landmark bar and restaurant attracts Amado fans (two of the novelist's fictional protagonists met here) for moquecas (fish stews) and cold beer served at the outdoor tables facing the cathedral, which is beautifully illuminated at night. Start with a few pasteles arabes (Arabic-style pastries stuffed with spicy meat).
