"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."

Onde comer em Itacar
Dri, a proprietária, veio de Brasília três anos atrás, tomou um porre em Itacaré, comprou um casarão por impulso na boca da Pituba (a rua onde tudo acontece) e ficou por lá. Em pouco tempo, seu restaurante se firmou como um dos hits da cidade (atualmente, é o mais bem cotado no Trip Advisor). A estrela da casa é a moqueca com um twist, com verduras frescas por cima (tomate, pimentão e cebola), arroz de coco e farofa de panco, super crocante, para acompanhar.
O que fazer em Itacaré, Bahia?Guia descomplicado e COMPLETO
Com um cardápio cheio de pratos diferentes e curiosos (alem do básico, claro), o Lua cheia realmente nos surpreendeu com a qualidade e sabor de tudo o que pedimos – e nos fez voltar!. Não é atoa que possui uma nota super alto nos reviews do google…difícil de conseguir uma nota assim, em!. Ah, não deixe de experimentar o croquete de siri que tava delicioso e o camarão com crosta de tapioca.
