Local restaurants
The Quadrodo is just a few minutes' walk from Etnia and is lined with dining options, including the colonial-ish Maritaca (+55 73 3668 1258), which serves wood-fired pizzas and excellent pasta dishes in colourful, high-ceilinged surroundings. Capim Santo (+55 73 3668 1122), the traditional restaurant attached to the pousada of the same name, is quaint and cute with a fine line in fish. The menu at Hotel da Praça's restaurant (+55 73 3668 2121) inventively blends Bahian classics with japanese gastronomy.
