3 places picked to eat in Iraquara.
A buffet restaurant on Fazenda Lapa Doce, next to the entrance of the cave of the same name, one of the most visited in Iraquara. It serves home-style Bahian food, designed for lunch after the cave tour, and mostly hosts tour groups and families.
A simple restaurant in a wattle-and-daub house across from Gruta da Fumaça, in the countryside of Iraquara. The cooking is rural: cactus pads, green banana, carne de sol (sun-dried beef), okra, homemade sweets and fruit juices. It is a lunch stop for travelers touring the region's caves.
A restaurant on Rua Simpliciano Lima, near Parque da Dolina, in Iraquara, run by chef Simone Alves, from Pernambuco. The menu includes daily specials, salads, artisanal burgers and feijoada (black bean stew) on Saturdays, in a relaxed setting popular with locals and travelers.
