Why Travelers Love Antique Bistrô
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Very nice view and ambiance. Service is very clean and neat. We were so fascinated by the starters (very well prepared, tasty) and we were expecting so much for the main that we were truly disappointed… very plain and full of sauce which wasn’t what we had ordered. The desert is fine. Even on a rainy day in Salvador, Antique Bistrô was amazing! Service was very attentive and quick. The cocktails were excellent! The appetizer and main course were fantastic! The seafood bake was traditional Portuguese with garlic and olive oil, a large portion to share with 3 people, very well seasoned. Delicious! Definitely Antique Bustrô is a must visit in Santo Antonio in Salvador! Amazing ambience. The shrimp risotto was AMAZING. The shimeji fettucine was delicious too. Would 100% go back again. Highly recommend

Had the SALMON 3 ORDER Grilled salmon fillet (250g) in tangerine reduction. Accompanies rice with bro ccoli and vegetable panachê. It was cooked perfectly, crusted outside, and tender and moist inside. The caipirinha was more lime and lemon slices than alcohol.

Crazy how bad service can ruin the entire experience. The boy had a strong attitude at every single interaction i had with him. Consistently zero kindness, zero eye contact, zero wish to engage into what he does. Tapioca cubes came relatively soon (ok). But then it took ages for main meal (salmon, ok) to arrive even though the balcony was only half full (and empty inside) and all others have finished their main meal. I believe he waited for me to finish all 10 cubes myself (?!) before bringing me the main meal. There wasn't even even thank you at the end. I highly regret not taking off the service charge from my bill.
