This laid-back corner bar and restaurant has outdoor tables and serves a wide range of Spanish tapas, Bahian classics and international dishes, plus Argentine wine by the glass and strong cocktails. Try the grilled veggie sandwich, one of the famous burgers, or one of the rice-based dishes – like a lighter take on moqueca (fish stew).
