adega da velha, meaning old winery, prides itself on serving traditional cuisine inspired by brazil's northeastern states - many visitors and locals venture from all over the world to taste the bar's famous feiojada.

the dish originated after the first portuguese settlers, who brought african slaves to brazil, refused to eat left over pork and therefore offered it to the slaves who sharply concocted the dish - bahian style food also plays a starring role on the menu with many spicy and seafood based choices, accompanied by an impressive selection of wine that can be paired with every dish on the menu.          ● more ●
