O Cacau

Bahia


This beautifully appointed restaurant is a haven for foodies interested in Bahian cuisine. Look for light, modern takes on classic dishes from acarajés (fritters of brown beans and dried shrimp) to moqueca (fish stew) and grilled lobster. O Cacau has a great wine list (especially for Brazil) and to-die-for desserts, with prices to match.
