What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Akua Bistro Restaurant is highly praised for its exceptional European-influenced Bahian cuisine, particularly its perfectly grilled seafood and tender meats. Diners rave about the cozy ambiance, friendly staff, and delicious, not-too-sweet desserts. While most reviews are glowing, one reviewer had a negative experience with fast-served, bland food and a weak drink, which did not match the restaurant's high rating.
"Best restaurant we had in the hole week. We were never served faster in Itacaré. The Dorade and Filet Mignon were grilled perfectly and each served with fine vegetables and potato of the day. Absolutely fair price with 43 and 55 R$. The desserts were very tasty creations and not too sweet. The juice (Cacao with lemongrass) and lemonade were very nice. This restaurant has European influence mixed with Bahia style, so no typical brasilian or bahia dishes.
The only critical point is the old and worn of menu. Do not get turned off by the looks of it. The rest of the restaurant looks good."

"Some of the best food I have ever eaten period. I lived here for two months and ate here probably 15 times. It’s amazing. Do yourself a favor and come at least once while here, and more if you can. I lived in Alaska for 6 months several years ago, and ate salmon every day, and I can say with confidence the salmon here is the best I have eaten. The beef bourguignon is amazing too. You will not regret it!"
