Gastronomy

The day at Jambo begins with a marvelous breakfast buffet, with locally grown fruits, juices, ham and other meats, toast, cereals, porridge, and several dishes of the day.

The restaurant is open virtually all day, as is the full service bar. All seats in the restaurant have wonderful sea views. Poolside and beach side food and beverage service is available throughout the day.

We endeavor, whenever possible, to acquire local produce. All of our vegetables and fruits are bought from local sources. Our breads are baked by local bakers. We buy our fish from fishermen at anchorage just down the beach from our Inn or in a store downtown. All of our dishes are prepared from scratch by our cooks; we serve no pre-prepared meals like the “big” hotels. Many of our dishes are “Internationally Inspired”, but many offerings are local dishes prepared “Bahian style”. Dishes like the seafood “moquecas” are authentic Bahian classics.

In addition, we have a full service bar where we offer many Brazilian and Imported beers, cocktails and a fine selection of wines. The Brazilian national cocktail, the “caipirinha” is the perfect complement to a warm and sunny day on the beach. Many of our wines, brandies and champagnes are imported from Argentina and Chile. In addition, we offer Brazilian wines, and we even offer wines produced right here in Bahia, at a latitude of 8 degrees!
