Camafeu de Oxossi

Salvador


A standard Bahian menu is available at this casual spot on the upper terrace of the Mercado Modelo. Though it's touristy and the food isn't particularly notable, many shoppers or travelers waiting to take the ferry to Morro stop here for coffee, juice, snacks, moqueca (fish stew) or cold beer with lovely views over the bay.
