Every dish was perfect and unique from the appetizers to the cocktails. And Django and Jasmine and the entire staff are lovely and helpful. Only regret is that my stomach couldn’t fit more food.
We had such a great time at this bar! The special drinks were unique and really well made, but what made our visit even better was the service. The waiter Django was incredibly friendly and gave us amazing recommendations that we absolutely loved. Highly recommend!
Django is the best guy gives you the Best service💯👍🏻 and the girls Orlania, Jasmim are so sweet , smiling all the time. Leo is the best with cocktails. Obrigada Leo🤩You can get most of the food here, beverages, delicious caipirinha, caipirosca and more. İt is a little more expensive than the other places, but you give a treat yourself🤩 Come on, coming to Bahia and not coming here is a loss.

The staff, including Django, Jasmine, Orlania, Jasmim, and Leo are praised for their friendliness and helpfulness.

Good place! We had the traditional xinxim with chicken, and it was really delicious! Chicken really fell from the bone, and portions were perfect! Best meal we had in Itacaré! And friendly staff too!! 😊
