SARAVÁ

At 18:00, as the light softens over Rua Lodônio Almeida, Saravá opens and its outdoor tables begin to welcome the evening in downtown Itacaré. It's the hour when the street slows down, the heat eases and dinner still has the whole night ahead of it.

The house and its tables

Saravá sits in the heart of the Centro, a few steps from the bustle of the village, and has outdoor tables, which are the best place to be when the evening is pleasant. The house works well for groups, which helps when the whole gang gathers after a day at the beach or out on a tour. Pets are also welcome, a detail that many people traveling with a dog only discover at the door.

At the table

There are vegetarian options on the menu, so dinner doesn't have to be a negotiation between those who eat everything and those who don't eat meat. If you'd rather dine at your pousada, you can order takeaway. Payment can be made by card.

When to go

Saravá serves dinner Monday to Saturday, from 18:00 to 22:30. It is closed on Sundays. Arriving close to 18:00 lets you pick your table; later on, the street already has the rhythm of the night.

Who it's for

For anyone who wants an unhurried dinner in the Centro, on foot, with a group, with a four-legged friend or with someone who doesn't eat meat. If you're looking for lunch, or a place open on Sundays, choose another spot. For the menu and prices, it's best to talk directly with Saravá.
