Jiló Bar e Restaurante — Restaurant in Região Geográfica Imediata de Ilhéus – Itabuna

Jilo is like a kiss on the cheek from an old and familiar friend. We were greeted and sat out the front to wait patiently for an open table. Shortly after discussing leaving we were ushered upstairs for what would become an evening of culinary magic. The roast beef starter was the nicest dish I’ve experienced in living memory which was followed by a delightful Baiano file and octopus for my partner which although tasted too much like something from the sea for my pallet, would be enjoyed by those appreciate water dwelling creatures.

Many thanks to Mimi and Jeff for making this such a wonderful night!

Great reasturant with a super chilled vibe and even better food. Service is warm, professional and welcoming (as is the general norm in Itacaré).

The food is prepared with loving care and cooked to perfection.

My party of four only had a main course and one starter to share.

This is one you dont want to miss.
