3 places picked to eat in Mucugê.
A home-cooking restaurant on Rua Direita do Comércio, in downtown Mucugê, where Dona Nena herself welcomes guests in her family's house. The pots sit on the wood-fired stove, where everyone serves themselves, and the place is recommended if you want a homemade meal, cooked on the stove and true to traditional flavors.
The restaurant of the Refúgio na Serra hotel, on Rua Caetité, in the historic center, with a glass dining room and a deck shaded by a flame tree. Chef André Chequer combines Chapada flavors with contemporary influences in dishes such as regional lamb with creamy baião de dois (rice and beans) and Bahian ravioli, good for a special dinner.
The restaurant at Vinícola Uvva (winery), on the BA-142 in Mucugê, led by chef André Chequer, serving contemporary Brazilian cuisine with Mediterranean influence. Among the dishes mentioned is sun-dried local lamb with plantain purée; in 2026 it made Wine Enthusiast's list of the best winery restaurants in the world.
