The fusion of Bahia’s products with the delicacy of French cuisine

Close to Praia da Paciência, in the Rio Vermelho neighborhood, there is an intimate and charming place, with an excellent drink menu and exquisite cuisine. The Jabú Restô & Bar, headed by French chef Aurélien Roche and by French mixologist and sommelier Thomas Duprat Pivetta, brings a cosmopolitan proposal from the countries they have visited, mixed with their experiences acquired in large projects in Bahia.

According to the owners, the Jabú concept arose naturally from the perfect blend of a creative spirit and a complete respect for the culture and wonderful history of Salvador. The desire was to build a cozy, simple place and to share original food and drinks with everyone who visits there.

Exotic, cool and cheerful, it’s perfect for events with friends, romantic encounters and happy hours. By the way, from Tuesday to Thursday, the house offers interesting drinks based on Gin. For the menu, chef Aurélien created a perfect mix between the richness of Bahia’s native products and the delicacy of French cuisine.

Our suggestion is the tasting menu with 4 steps: there is Jabú fish Ceviche (1); Homemade buffalo ravioli, creamy Paris mushroom sauce, white wine and Sicilian lemon farofa (2); Filet mignon with wine sauce or grilled shrimp with vierge sauce, served with truffled leek risotto (3); and, finally, the trilogy with chocolate and cocoa (4). Also ask about the vegetarian menu. If you want to choose a drink, try Signatures Jaguar, made with YVY national gin, honey, lemon and ginger syrup.

About chef Aurélien Roche

Chef Aurélien Roche was born in Aix, in Provence, southeastern France. He holds 4 diplomas from a culinary school, where he studied for six years in Nice. After working eight years in European hotels and restaurants with star chefs like Pierre Gagnaire and Alain Ducasse, the French chef bet on Brazil.

“I’m a Bahian at heart” proclaims the chef, who took over the “casseroles” of Txai Resorts, a tropical paradise located in Itacaré, in the south of Bahia, between the sea and the Atlantic Forest. The chain is part of the select Relais&Chateaux group, which brings together exquisite hotels and haute cuisine restaurants around the world.

In 2018, Aurélien took over the kitchens of Fera Palace, in Rua Chile, in Salvador, for more than a year, until the opening of his first restaurant: Jabú, in the most bohemian neighborhood in the city.
