Bar Vesúvio

190 Rua Dom Eduardo

Sidle up next to the statue of a pensive Jorge Amado—vandalized in 2015 and later restored—at this Ilhéus institution that was founded in 1910 by two Italians. Two of Amado’s fictional protagonists met here, and its privileged position facing historic São Sebastião cathedral evokes the same sort of romanticism as Amado’s fiction. Seafood stews (moquecas) and pastries washed down with ice-cold chope (draft beer) are the way to go here.
