"I received excellent service here. Restaurant clean. Claudio and the hostess spoke English. I hadn't eaten all day, and was in a rush to get to a nearby Capoeira show in 30 minutes. Asked if I could realistically have a meal in my time frame and Cladio recommended a salad - something that didn't require cooking. Excellent recommendation! Thanks again Claudio. The chicken salad and mango juice arrived quickly and both were tasty

Outdoor seating allows smoking. Indoor the temperature was comfortable and not too cold."

"Quite a nice lunch experience. Service was a little slow due to Carnaval crowds, and value for money was slightly high, but a very solid option nonetheless. Food was well-flavored and arrived with a nice presentation. Recommend the Brazilian beer with fish and shrimp moqueca with hot chili sauce on the side!"

"Went to Cuco 2 times during this trip with my girlfriend, would have been down to visit more regularly if I stayed closer.

Charming restaurant with friendly staff, food was one of the best ones I had in Brazil. Considering the price tag, i personally find it to be the best bang for the buck in Salvador for me.

Below was the first review I wrote right after the first visit.

What a pleasant surprise! I did not have much expectations for this establishment, but the codorna recheado à moda do chef (stuffed quail) was truly one of my most memorable dishes in Brazil so far.

The rice showed the Arabic influence to Bahian food, with the choice of spices and raisin. The quail was wrapped in bacon and came with reduced jabuticaba sauce, which added a nice layer of sweetness and acidity, complemented the quail meat elegantly. My only critique is with the stuffing, which could use a bit more flavour. However, combined with the sauce, it harmonized without taking away from the rest of the dish."
